So I got a i7-3930K in the hopes of upgrading my computer, forgetting that I have a AMD motherboard. :/

So well looking around for a second hand motherboard I found a fairly priced ASUS B250M Pro4 which (on ASRock's website) says it can run "i7/i5/i3/Pentium®/Celeron® Processors" but it has a '1151' socket and the only supported socket (on Intel's website) for the 'i7'-3930K is a FCLGA2011 socket.

Long story short. Can I put a i7-3930K into a 1151 socket and expect it to work?

Motherboard page https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/B250M%20Pro4/index.asp

In case it isn't clear, the reason I'm so confused is that the two websites have conflicting information.
 
Solution
It literally wouldn't even fit. Lga2011 cpus are a whole lot bigger in size. The websites are not conflicting at all. Different socket means it won't fit. You wouldn't fit a square peg into a circle hole so you don't fit 2011 into 1151.
