Question?
Can I use my old Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition with this socket?
Thanks

No, it's not possible. 😉 Although the LGA2011-3 has the same pin count and measurements like the original LGA2011, the electrical signals are different

And now for the reason why you cannot use your 3960X on a 2011-3/X99 Motherboard, basically DDR4 is the reason. The IMC on your CPU is only compatible with DDR3 and not DDR4.

The two keys are also in a slightly different position so the 3960X will not physically fit in the 2011-3 socket.
