intel introduced an extension for spd information. The ram should work
just fine. Intel motherboards might or might not make use of the
additional information. so might or might not amd boards. And no, there
won't be any risk. DDR3 is DDR3.

It wont harm your computer but the memory timings/voltages will may need to
be set manually. Plug it in and try it out. The only real different thing
between Intel Other memory is the spd information is for intel rather than
amd in the ram will not run at rated speed until you change
timings/voltages to match. Let us know if you have any problems. I'm sure
they can be worked out. Oh and update the bios.
