It is safe to try since you have them.
The two sticks may or may not work together.
If there is a problem, your pc simply will not boot and you may get a ram error indication.
No harm will come.
If they do work, you will have 12gb.
8gb will operate in dual channel mode and the odd 4gb will run in single channel mode.
Run memtest86 to test.
You should be able to complete a full pass with NO errors.

As said above by geofelt, it will run flex dual channel so 2x4 GB will run dual channel wile the remaining 4 GB will run single channel.

Quote from the manual page 9.
"When enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, it is recommended that memory of
the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used for optimum performance."
Keyword here being recommended and not required.

Yeah you have found an old and obsolete article about this. All those chipset are way older than his.
It will work fine flex mode on his mobo, like it would on any newer Z170, Z270, Z370, B150, B250, B360 and so on despite not being on your list.
