Just a different way of saying the same thing. Nothing to worry about.

All X99 boards are, formally speaking, socket LGA2011-v3.

If you checked the CPU Support List for your board, you would see the i7-5820K in the list. I use that processor in my ASRock X99 Extreme6 board.

Oh wait... you're using a 5820K CPU according to your post. Is that a different processor than an i7-5820K?

See how easy it is to leave a character or two out?
