Does the Ryzen 7 5800X3D Work on AMD B350 and X370 Motherboards?

Intel, by design, made Z87 motherboards, even high end motherboards like mine from ASUS (Maximus VI Hero) unable to support Broadwell CPUs.

That's like Intel 101 for you, screwing customers any chance they get.

4790K is meaningless as an upgrade as my 4770K overclocks well enough and I have a Noctua cooler.
That's a bummer. I would have thought it was possible given it's the same socket. What's Intel trying to do, drive their customers to AMD?
 
Great info, thank you. I'm currently updating my PC that I built in 2017 to have the 5800x3D CPU. I'm struggling a bit to figure out what memory I should use that's compatible though. What were the 4 sticks of DDR4 3200 that were used for these builds? Below is what I was looking at but I'm not sure how well they'd work. Any help would be appreciated.

Motherboard: MSI B350 Tomahawk

CPU Old: Ryzen 1700 with Wraith Spire Cooler
CPU New: Ryzen 7 5800x3d with Noctua NH-D15 Chromax Black cooler

Memory Old: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2400 CL15
Memory New?:
G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
or
G.Skill Trident Z Neo RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 (Cheaper)
or
Trident Z Neo 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-2666 MHz CL18 (Seemed compatible with the B350 on Trident's configurator)
or
Other
