Will my motherboard support haswell-e ?

I have an asus rampage iv extreme with an I 7 3960x and was planning on upgrading to the 8 core 5960x. I heard they were different chipsets and would not work. Is that true, or would it work in my motherboard?

It's true, you'll need a new motherboard if you want to have the new 8-core i7.
