Hello everybody, I'm new here and I have a question

 

I have an i5-3470 which is an LGA 1155 cpu.  but my motherboard is outdated and I want a new one ... like an ASUS Z170-A which has an LGA1151 Socket.

 

so If I buy the new motherboard ... would my LGA 1155 processor fit into the LGA1151 Socket of the Asus Z170-A ?

 

plz help me.
