No, its not compatible. The 6700k series is only compatible with 100 and 200 series boards.

No, the 6700k will not work in a Gigabyte H310M-A Motherboard.

Only Intel 8th and 9th gen are compatible with that motherboard.

You can technically mod the BIOS of a 300 series motherboard to work with a 1151v1 CPU and vice versa (100/200 series motherboard with a 1151v2 CPU), but this is not official and not really worth doing. Not when you get cheap CPUs on the 300 series motherboard that don't need any modding.
