Does an LGA 2011v3 processor fit into an LGA 1151 socket?

[Jscheetz03]

I have a Gigabyte G1 Z170X Intel motherboard with a LGA 1151 socket. I recently received an Intel i7 processor but it has an LGA 2011v3 socket type. Is it compatible?

Nope, you'll need a motherboard with an LGA 2011v3 socket (X99)

Shoot, alright. Thanks for the help!

You answered your own question nearly

The LGA xxxx if the socket type of the chip and board so e.g a 2011 socket will need a 2011 board
