Hello people. I own a z270 based system and i want to upgrade my ram sticks. I found a set of G.skill trident neo for a good price on a local seller. But the thing worries me on its description indicates for AMD. Also on the website on g.skill it says best for AMD. I know ddr4 is ddr4 but still. My motherboard is MSI Z270 Gaming M3, and the ram sticks are GSKILL 16GB (2x8GB) Trident Z Neo RGB 3600MHz CL16 DDR4 Dual Kit Ram (F4-3600C16D-16GTZNC). Can it work properly ?

Having that stamp on it is just 95% marketing BS... means nothing beyond its been more validated against Ryzen CPUs since they're much much more likely to run into ram compatibility issues than intel. You will be 1000000000% fine buying a kit that says its for AMD and using it on an intel board.
