It is a universal water block that fits all modern CPUs on the market, both Intel and AMD.

This quote is from the webpage. I would take that to mean ryzen. You should email their customer support if you want to be certain.

Also, I'm not going to bother asking why you don't want to upgrade to 7th gen instead of switch, I can see how you feel about your motherboard in your build info.

I was thinking about upgrading my 6700k to something on the ryzen platform. However, I'm not sure if my Ek block will still be compatible.

Build:                                                                          

Intel Core I7 6700k (clocked to 4.6ghz)

Patriot Viper 3000mhz ddr4

ASUS maximus 8 hero (I hate this mobo)

Evga gtx 1080 superclocked

250GB Samsung 850 evo

2tb WD Black 7200rpm

Ek watercooling kit a240g with 360 expansion pack

Primochill Vue Red fluid

Corsair Graphite 600t (white)

 

You thought "Gee, Donald Trump sure has a great build!"

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

6700k to 7700k isn't much of an upgrade...

In gaming, a 7700k will be better than ryzen, and it is a tangible upgrade, even if not much. Ideally OP has more multithreaded applications in mind to make good use of Ryzen.
