Inter Processor For DQ965GF Motherboard

So what happened to the old CPU that was in this old motherboard? If the old one fried, and if not because the thermal paste was forgotten or was poor grade and dried out so the CPU overheated or because the CPU fan stopped spinning, how do you know a new CPU won't also fry? Since this is an "old" mobo (which hints it's been sitting around for a long time unused), why wasn't there ever a CPU in it? This colleague at work gave me the motherboard for free but does not know what happened to the CPU... I figured that since I need one (used, if available), I might as well get the fastest possible. -- tb |

I'd be inclined to see if I could borrow a compatible CPU first just to check out the board. That would be better than buying one and then discovering the board is no good. Larc |

Just figure on buying a used one for under $30 to limit your financial risk and if it fries then that was the cost of the experiment. |
