Does the Xeon L3406 fit into LGA1156 motherboards?

Hey. I've got a Xeon L3406 which according to intel is an FCLGA1156 socket CPU. I installed it into a motherboard that had an i3-550, an another cpu that is stated to fit the FCLGA1156 socket. I've been thinking about buying an overclockable motherboard since my current OEM one does not support it. Can I just get a normal LGA1156 or does it have to be specifically FCLGA1156? Apparently normal LGA1156 processors fit into FCLGA1156 motherboards.

My stuff:

Yes this will work. FCLGA (Flip Chip Land Grid Array) means that the processor die is on top of the substrate. For modern Intel CPUs, the use of the terms FCLGA and LGA are often mixed, but boil down to the same thing.
