CPU LGA 2011 socket vs CPU LGA 2011-v3 socket

[firefistace]

Hi. I'm building a hackintosh for the first time and I'm planning to use a motherboard that has a 2011 CPU socket. I was wondering if a LGA 2011 socket and a LGA 2011-v3 CPU socket is the same thing or not? Can a LGA 2011-v3 CPU go in a LGA 2011 socket?

No, they are not the same thing. Socket 2011 = Ivy Bridge-E, socket 2011-v3 = Haswell-E
Socket 2011 has the X79 PCH, socket 2011-v3 has the X99 PCH.
X79 is supported in OS X, X99 is not.
