Shouldn't void warranty.

Any advice you get from here or anywhere else would only be assumptions. If you'd like an official answer best contact Asus.

FX 505s have 2 ram slots, a spare sata bay, and no warranty stickers on the back cover.

They would have no way of knowing the ram had been upgraded.

I would think not either. If Asus didn't want people getting in them selves they'd put something like that to deter. Asus would still have a record of it's original configuration if it ever went back to them for servicing or any other support claim. If nothing was evident found of manipulating secured components such as trying to desolder a cpu or gpu or anything of that nature i don't think they'd care.

I agree.

If ASUS didnt want that laptop to be upgraded, ASUS would not have added a sata expansion bay and extra ram slot.

Warranties may be finiky tho. You should contact asus to find out if the warranty prohibits upgrades. Even if the warranty prohibits upgrades, ASUS would have no way of knowing that you upgraded the laptop if you reverted it to stock before sending it in for a warranty claim.

It's a one-size-fits-all deal. The extra expansion bays are allocated for different models so base models use minimal components, full blown models will fill every bay.

Thanks guys you have answered my question.

I will contact ASUS and see what they will have to say about it.

If you're in the clear to upgrade remember to remove the laptop battery before doing anything inside.

And please post the answer, I'd be interested to know what Asus says about upgrades.
