“Can I install DDR3 in the RAM slots? Hey what is up guys, I was wondering, can I install (2 x 8G) RAM memory DDR3 or they have to be DDR3L? Because I've heard that if you want to expand your RAM in this laptop you must upgrade to DDR3L, and what would happen if I install DDR3? Because honestly I would not like to spend more money on them... anyways THANK YOU GUYS, I TRULY APRECIATE IT!:)”

yes MUST be ddrL
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You did not specify a model, so the asnwer may have to be generic for now. DDR3L is a special type of DDR3 RAM where L refers to low voltage standard. DDR3 uses 1.5V; DDR3L uses 1,35V. I am concluding that if your lap is designed for 1.35V it may not be able to fully power a chip expecting 1.5V and, therefore cause you issues. You may have to find out from the manual, or the manufacturer (or reputable source0 if this is true. I installed vanilla DDR3 on my ROG.
