Sure, I can help with that. What model of CPU are you looking at? Knowing the exact processor will narrow down the possible sockets and compatible chipsets.

Consider reaching out to the seller for a photo of the CPU's rear side or its exact model. You might also try counting the pins, though some may be hidden by reflections.

Seems to be a LGA771 or 775 socket configuration.

I concur with @Curious Pineapple, probably 771 or 775.

The chips were built with significantly bigger pads and lacked those narrow rectangular spaces. It seems far too compact for HEDT, so we can exclude models like 1366/2011. Though @David_1276 the connector isn't the main issue, if it's an engineering prototype it will likely have tailored chipset compatibility even if socket compatibility exists.

I discovered the processor type—it’s a Sky/Kaby Lake with those unique pads and small circular connectors I hadn’t seen before. This is great news because I already have a decent H110 Mobile Booster that’s gathering dust, which could be useful if it still works after the thermal paste on the back. It’s affordable enough, and buying this isn’t the main goal; just a nice side note. I also contacted the seller to see what I could obtain. Either way, it looks like a newer Celeron or even better, making it a fun project for a PC under $75 with recent components as a backup during quarantine. Thanks!

Do you actually know the specific model before making a purchase? That seems risky.

On JoostinOnline I understand it's just for a short while and who knows what a 6700k might be hiding! It feels like a top-tier silicone lottery. I’ve already secured a solid offer on a 1050ti, and I only checked the bundle because it comes with 8GB DDR3 and 8GB DDR4—exactly what I need. One for everyday use, the other for a cool 2012 Chromebook upgrade that I might share here soon.
