Is the socket LGA 2011-3 identical to socket LGA 2011-v3?

Are these two sockets identical and interchangeable for the same thing, or is there some difference? My ASRock X99 Extreme4 motherboard says it's socket is LGA 2011-3 but I wanted to use an Intel 5820K CPU that says the proper socket is LGA 2011-v3. Am I good to use the Intel 5820K CPU in the ASRock X99 Extreme4 motherboard? What is the preferred terminology? I see that Intel uses the term LGA 2011-v3 for some Xeon processors but not for the 5820K CPU. Please tell me if I am good to use the Intel 5820K in my ASRock X99 Extreme motherboard? Tell me, are there motherboards I can't use with a listed LGA socket of 2011-3?

The ASRock site compatible processor list: http://asrock.com/mb/Intel/X99%20Extreme4/?cat=CPU ASRock > X99 Extreme4

Your processor is this one: http://ark.intel.com/products/82932/Intel-Core-i7-5820K-Processor-15M-Cache-up-to-3_60-GHz Intel® Core™ i7-5820K Processor (15M Cache, up to 3.60 GHz) Specifications

You should be ok, provide you have the proper BIOS from ASRock to support your processor.

As Al Hill mentioned above you should be OK using the Intel® Core™ i7-5820K with the ASRock > X99 Extreme4. The processor is on the As Rock compatibility list and it is also on the Intel compatibility list with this motherboard.
