Hey guys, I've been looking forward into doing the first upgrade to my MBP (MacBook Pro) which is the model 9,2 (Mid 2012) with Intel Core i5 / 2.5 GHz. So my question is pretty easy but I want to make sure I'm correct before spending the money, and later finding out it was useless.

• 16gb Corsair Vengeance Ram

I am between 2 different options of upgrading my ram. (Both 16GB (2x8GB).

Corsair 16gb Ram

The first one is the Corsair Vengeance 16GB RAM (2x8), 204 pins, Auto-Overclocking (no bios configuration required), which has 1600MHz, and 1.5V (Voltage).

The second option I've considered is also from Corsair, but instead is Mac Memory. This one has as well 1600 MHz, and it's specific for MAC, and also has 204 pins, but the voltage is 1.35V. and has 11-11-11-30 CAS timing. Now, this one I think it's pretty obvious will absolutely fit into my MBP since it's MAC MEMORY.

NOTE: Both are DDR3 Memory.

Which do you think would be better to put into my MacBook Pro? Btw, which is the appropiate Voltage for my MacBook Pro?

Thanks guys! Hope you have the answer to my question.

Later.
