Technically, yes. But you'd have to apply some tech-savvy tricks to it such as a bios update. You'd also, likely, never reach it's full OC potential. But, the CPU will fit in the socket. You will just struggle with firmware/compatability.

Yes, this CPU will work with that motherboard. This CPU will work with motherboards that have an AM4 socket, which will usually be the first thing specified about a given board.

That motherboard does say it supports Zen2 (this processor's generation). I have also seen other builds with that motherboard + 3700x but they did mention you may need to do a BIOS update to make it work. One last thing though, this 3700x is meant for overclocking, which isn't possible on that motherboard, i'd recommend a B450, X470, or X570 board if you want to take full advantage of this CPU.
I would recommend:
- MSI - B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (Socket AM4) USB-C Gen2 AMD Motherboard

- MSI - MPG X570 GAMING PLUS (Socket AM4) USB-C Gen2 AMD Motherboard

As long as your motherboard has the appropriate bios update it can. Which I think you need version 5.90 for your board. I would definitely recommend updating the bios before hand if you are able too.
