iMac (27-inch, Late 2012) Ivy Bridge support DDR3L 1.35v RAM

Hello, I took several days looking and can not find the solution to my problem. I'll expand the RAM on my computer using 2 modules 8GB (more current 8GB = 24GB total), I wonder if this model of RAM is compatible with my computer, if recommended or you know of a better option. I've already seen my iMac uses a DDR3 memory 1.5v and looking through the forum I have seen that there are teams that can use DDR3L 1.35v.

I detail my computer specs: iMac (27-inch, Late 2012) with 3.4 GHz processor Intel Core i7 with 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce 2048 GTX 680MX MB.

I found this [URL="http://www.kingston.com//hyperx/memory/impact"]Kingston HyperX memory Impact Black[/URL] dual voltage (1.35v-1.5v) DDR3L do not know if I will have any problems or if I can actually use. The recommended for iMac (27-inch, Late 2013) Haswell but says at no time be compatible with Ivy Bridge 2012 models.

I would appreciate your help a lot because I do not want to gamble for ignorance in the matter. Thanks in advance !!

Your model iMac (Late 2012 27") uses:

Maximum Memory 32 GB
Memory Slots 4 - 204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

The Late 2013 27" iMac uses:

Maximum Memory 32 GB
Memory Slots 4 - 204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

You can readily see that both the 2012 and 2013 models use the same exact memory and configuration. You can draw your own conclusion from that.

The link to Kingston does not work, as I have found with their memory and SSDs. OWC and Crucial recommended here.
