What is this CPU / Socket ?

Hi,

I've got a CPU as part of a job lot that I've bought, but I don't know what it is or what socket to test it on.

On the CPU it has these markings :

in black writing:

LL2 IVB E2

4M (not sure it's faded) EC3Z

NAV 18977.

in silver writing:

IVB E-2 DT

QDF EC3Z

Any ideas on the chip so that I can test it?

I think the IVB means Ivy Bridge but could be wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Glenn10,

 

 

I'm sorry that's not enough information to see what will be the socket for your processor.

 

 

If you have the processor handy you will see the model on top of the processor, I'm not sure if it is visible for you but if it is an Ivy Bridge processor it could be an i3, i5 or i7 and after these families number it will start with the number 3.

 

 

You can see some examples here:

Hi,

I made a guess at a 1155 motherboard, and it worked.

Turns oout to be a 3rd Gen i7 CPU.
