Macbook pro 13 mid 2012 max memory3/15/2024 ![]() Since the 20 Macs use a chipset (Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge) that supports 16/32 GB on their motherboards, it is safe to buy 16 GB RAM, as many have done that since. ![]() They say, the maximum is 4 GB, then the maximum is 6 GB or sometimes even 8 GB. My MacBook is fully updated to OS X El Capitan.I've read on similar threads that downgrading to OS X Yosemite might help?Īnother thought I had is that I've read that some people only swap one of the RAM chips, so I would have 1 of my original 2gb Ram chips and one 8gb upgraded chip, so having a total of 10gb which would be much better than my original 2x 2gb Ram. And Apple is known to state 'false' maximum RAM amounts on their Macs for some time. I Have checked the system report and the new memory is being registered in the correct RAM slots, but it seems something somewhere else is going wrong. Now it sometimes restarts its elf even when im not using it, very annoying! It has only done this since I put the new RAM in. But then all of a sudden about 5 mins into surfing the web the screen went blank and it started to restart itself. I have just upgraded my mid 2012 MacBook Pro to 16gb using 2x 8gb ATech DDR3 12800 1600MHz and to start with everything was fine, booted up quickly etc.
