While considering purchasing this set of Modules I scrolled down to the specs area and noticed that the Dimm's are compatible with z370 Mobo's. 

 

Is it only compatible with z370? 

 I have a b450 that i planned to use them on.

 

Are they only compatible with Intel chips?

That's what it's tested on, not what it only works on. It is possible that it couldn't run up to its rated speed on Ryzen, but not that it guaranteed won't.

What are the chances it doesn't perform as expected on am4/b450

 

Is it worth the risk

Depends on the CPU and whether you're only going to apply the default profile without manual tuning

 

It's not even cheap for a 3200MHz CL16 kit (though it is the cheapest Trident Z kit), the real cheap deals are below $70. I would just pass on.
