To break the bad news to you, yes you do need to get a new motherboard because of pin compatibility ...
If you want to do some overclocking on Intel CPUs then you MUST get their designated "Z" series chipsets like their Z97 chipset for Haswell/Broadwell processors that are compatible with the LGA 1150 socket or the Z170 chipset to overclock the latest Skylake CPUs ...
Don't forget to buy their CPUs with the "K" suffix either since they are the only ones with official overclocking support ...
