I want to use low voltage ram with my system but my motherboard doesn't specifically say it supports it, will this be a problem or will I have incompatibility issues?

It should work regardless, the other way around may not work though(ex. ddr3l in ddr3)

Need some specifics. What RAM, and what motherboard/CPU?

Specifics not set in stone, just generally asking will 1.35V work fine in most systems. But specifically, I am thinking about using an ASRock H61M-HVS motherboard with a i5 3570K, don't know the ram specs, just 1.35V.

Don't worry too much. Low voltage ram will work just fine.

Certain skylake boards have ddr3l only since the higher voltage can kill the memory controller, but your h61 board will be fine.
