Mobo Socket Change?

Is it possible to switch a cpu socket on a mobo? (Such as a lga 775 to a 1150 or a 1151 to a 1150)

I have an Anet A8 as my project printer and a i3 MK3 for when I want things to work. 

 

I extrude my own filament and haven't saved a penny yet.

 

 

My PC:

CPU: Intel i7 8700k

Motherboard: MSI Z370-A Pro

RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V (2x8GB) DDR4-3200

GPU: GTX 1070 Founders Edition (OC'd)

Storage: 2x 2TB Seagate 5400RPM, 128GB ADATA SSD

Power Supply: EVGA Supernova 750w  B2

Cooling: Noctua NH-D15. 3 Intake Fans, 2 Outtake

Case: Fractal Design Define R6

Hahaha....wait wut is dis serious?

 

 

Seriously you can, if you want to PHYSICALLY CHNAGE THE WHOEL MOBO and then buy a LGA 1151 then cut it up and then slap it onto the mobo :) 

 

No it is not possible though you can destroy your CPU by trying a different socket

No sorry.  Even if you were physically able to solder an lga 1151 socket to another board,  there would still be electrical incompatibilities to deal with.
