So I just bought a refurbished Dell M6800, with the i7-4910MQ and 16gb of RAM (4x4gb, all DDR3L and 1600mhz). I was going to start by upgrading to 24gb, then to 32. I have from a scrap computer of a friend of mine 2 8gb Kingston HyperX Impact chips that are DDR3L (1600mhz also), so they would match up with the others. But I don't overclock my computer (never really learned anything about it) and I know that's what these are for. But since I have them, why not use them? Is there any downside to using them with this computer, can they do any harm or have unwanted side effects? If I don't try to make them overclock, will they just perform like typical RAM? Would appreciate any help. Glad to be part of this community.

Sure, everything works fine as long as the RAM matches the required kind. It will operate at your chosen rate or use the standard speed if you haven’t adjusted it yourself.

It offers no extra advantages when used in normal operation compared to generic RAM.

Perhaps the scheduling, yet without a clear difference from other RAM units that share the same clock rate.
