I had a Mini and upgraded to 16GB from Crucial.

I received a Gigabyte Brix in the post this morning and put the old RAM from the Mini into the Brix. The system wouldn't boot. Turns out the RAM in the Mini is 1.5v which the Brix doesn't like (it wants 1.35v). So I took the RAM back out of the Brix and put it back in the Mini and put the new RAM I'd bought for the Mini into the Brix. Brix booted up right away with the new RAM and I imagine the Mini will too when I get around to it since it was the RAM originally in the thing.

TL;DR: the RAM in the Mini is 1.5v and works fine in mine.
