Question Ryzen 5 3600x on ASRock Z170 Pro4s

[Boomashock]

Is the Ryzen 5 3600x compatible with the ASRock Z170 Pro4s or do I need a new motherboard?

Need a new board. Z170 is a sixth gen intel chipset.

You'll need b450, x470 or x570.

Z170 is capped at 7th gen i7-7700K, after a BIOS update; given that (with a good cooler as well) they cost as much as R5-3700 and a good mainboard, few would likely find the 7700K as 'the wise choice'.
