Yup try getting same branded same frequency models to avoid compatibility issues but for the most part 1x4 + 1x8 works fine.... Dual channel memory only works up to 4gb though which sucks but hardly matters.

Hi Linus Tech Tips,

 

I was wondering if my MOBO is capable of getting 12 gb RAM, 1 stick of 4 and 1 stick of 8. 

 

I attach screenshot of CPUZ.

 

Thanks!

Ya. You're good for up to 16GB on that board

Within 4 seconds, you can google the model number of your board and not require us. But, since you asked, yes. This board can even support up to 16GB of memory assuming your system is 64-bit.

What do you mean by Dual Channel memory only works up to 4gb?

Depending on whether or not your system is 32-bit or 64-bit, you can support up to 4GB or 16.8TB respectively.

This shouldn't apply, as most systems made in the century are 64-bit. You can check via System Info in control panel.

Thanks! It is indeed 64 bit. 

 

But what about my BIOS version?

Will my BIOS version have any impact on the capacity? I heard they upgraded RAM capacity on the 2012 version, but I have the 2011. Is this true?

According to your motherboards BIOS update Changelong Posted here (your motherboard downloads section, latest update post , changelog .pdf link) 
https://downloadmirror.intel.com/23393/eng/BE_0120_ReleaseNotes.pdf
There is no RAM fixes done via BIOS updates, Your Board will support the full 16 gb of ram on any of the BIOS versions


Your Motherboard Compatibility sheet says you can have up to 16 gb Link:

Your Cpu Sheet also says up to 16 gb Link:
