That CPU is meant for a completely different socket. It will not work at all.

I have an ASUS Prime Z270-P motherboard with an Intel I5.  Considering the possibility of attempting putting an Intel® Core™ i7 3930K Processor I7 chip onto the board.  Thought it best to ask here first about compatibility, before taking everything apart.  The manufacturer CPU compatibility list doesn't specifically list it.

Might as well try and put an AM4 in there or socket 775 CPU in there, the results are the same.

Z270 supports 6th and 7th gen CPUs, you can't use anything else with that.
