Max out at 16GB now, or forever hold your peace-you can't upgrade. *Apple officially supports a maximum of 8 GB of RAM, but third-parties have determined that this model actually is capable of using up to 16 GB of RAM with two 8 GB memory modules. You can essentially support 16gb, however your computer may become hotter than normal. Installing iStatMenus or Macs Fan Control can help you control your fan speed exactly.

If you do upgrade to 16gb, do this only because you need the extra RAM for photo, video processing or game applications.

Apple keeps their CPU PECI at around 130 degrees F, but you should keep your computer at about 100 degrees F for longevity. It is not actually wrong to go over capacity with RAM, the only thing that might happen is that some of the registers might not be filled as all of the additional ram may not be necessary at points. If you do not cool your computer properly, you run the risk of deteriorating its life, however if you cool it correctly, since the 16GB RAM upgrade is the same voltage as the 8GB stock RAM (1.35v), you should be ok. This whole upgrade is not recommended because the additional RAM is not supported by the Logic Board, essentially the computer might not even have the capability of using the additional memory even though it displays that the additional RAM is installed. It is questionable whether the RAM actually has an affect on the speed. If it does have the capability of actually allocating the memory, it might also cause problems if it is not supported. But what is weird is that I have upgraded my ram to 16GB and the computer recognizes it I just don't know if it allocates it.

I would like to see some proven tests that it does, as I do not know. I will possibly post some here in the future.
