No, DDR3L is low voltage, typically 1.35V or below potentially. 

 

DDR3 standard 1.5V or 1.65V

So DDR3 RAM sticks won't work with H110 motherboards?

Only difference is voltage, requiring less power and less heat :D

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

DDR3L is mainly used in laptops to keep power and heat lower and usually doesn't have as great of performance as normal DDR3. 

And usually DDR3 is cheaper than DDR3L.
