[SOLVED] Can I upgrade from 8GB ram too 12gb ram?

[DXXXX]

My PC specs:

Intel i5 2400
GTX 1050Ti
1TB Hard drive
OptiPlex 390
0M5DCD Mobo
CX450 PSU
And, 8gb ddr3 1333 mhz ram (2 slots with 4)

I was wondering, can I replace one 4gb ram stick with an 8gb one, (too make 12gb ram in total) would it work? I've seen multiple people with the same pc and 12gb ram. If it does work, then please let me know which one I should get.

According to this...

The maximum memory is 8 GB.
The maximum for each slot is 4GB.
That doesn't mean you can't try it.

Multiple sources, including Dell and Crucial, indicate that 8GB is the maximum capacity for the desktop or SFF Optiplex 390, so you would be gambling. Perhaps you could borrow an 8GB stick to try it without committing to the cost until you know if it works.

I'm sure that it is possible, just not guaranteed. I use a lot of G.Skill memory as I've had excellent results on hundreds of builds and when there is an issue they have been very helpful.

One with the same frequency, timings, and voltage. or at least the ability to handle those.
