Does it definitely need to be DDR3L? I've got an 8GB kit here, (4GB x 2) from when i upgraded an old laptop to 16GB, but it's the standard 1.5v DDR3 not the 1.35v DDR3L kind.

How old is the NUC? DDR3 is ancient.

Ive got an 8GB DDR4 module you can have if you want.

Usually good to check the memory compatibility lists on the Intel pages. Sometimes the NUCs can be picky about the RAM you use, even if the specs match for the RAM, at times I've found things just won't POST with various NUC models.  Looks like the Intel page is down for the NUC5i5RYH, but here is the info from the web archive.

Good luck!

Do you have the link to the item on aliexpress?
