You should be able to.. be more specific what CPU what motherboard? If you're asking if a i7 6800k will fit in a x99 motherboard then the answer is yes (with a bios update)

Check the motherboard cpu support list.

The answer to that is no.
LGA2011 is a DDR3 platform for Sandy bridge-EP and Ivybridge-EP
LGA2011v3 is a DDR4 platform for Haswell-EP chips+

No. Two different physical sockets. The fact that Intel gave them very similar names was dumb on their end.

A socket 2011 cpu will not work in a socket 2011v3 motherboard.

I have a i7-3930k and i haven't got a bord in mind just would like to go atx for micro atx. Any suggestions would be nice. I'm a msi guy but i do like Asus

Look at x79 board's its would be a bonus if you got one that supports the Xeon 26XXv2 series if you wanted to upgrade to a 10 core 20 thread 2680v2

I see, that chip is actually lga 2011 and not even x99 as I was thinking you were referring to. You will need a x79 motherboard and some ddr3 ram, I also like asus and MSI but, to be fair, MSI actually fixed my RMA motherboard and asus wouldn't even send me a replacement fan to fix my gtx 1070 (they suggested I watercool to fix it.. smh) I ended up buying a new fan on alibaba express and fixing it myself. Because this is an older board, I suggest just get whatever has the best price available for you.
