I read a review in Amazon India saying that a guy built a setup with 2×i7-6800K processors on a server motherboard.

Last review in this page.

I wondered whether it is possible and searched the internet. Everywhere I got the same answer - a big "no". I'm really confused.

So I decided to put the question in front of you, experts. Is a setup with dual i7 processors possible? How will it work?

Generally, no.
The motherboard needs to be able to talk to 2 CPU's.
The CPU's need to be able to talk to each other. An i7 can't do that.

If some dude says he did it, ask him exactly how.
Random text saying "I did this" is worth exactly zero.
