Compatibility check

Is the ASUS X99-A II LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard compatible with the intel i7 6700k 4.0

No. You need a socket 1151 board for the 6700k.

X99 boards are for extreme edition chips, they use socket 2011-v3

[Crossbred]

The above is not true.

X99 is for intel 2011-3 chips, z/b/h170 is for intel 1151 chips.

X99 chips do not necessarily have to be extreme editions.

Where you might be confused is that the 6700k, 6600k, 6500k and so forth are 1151 chips while the 6800k, 6850k, 6900k, and 6950x are completely different 2011-3 chips.
