can u use a processor of one motherboard in another

 

[mcnumpty23]

yes

but only if its of the same socket type and supported by the bios

so for example you cant stick a socket 775 cpu into a socket 1155 cpu motherboard

If you give us the CPU and motherboard models, we can verify if it'll work.

as long as the cpu and the motherboard have compatible socket and bios or bios update.
for example, you can use a sandy bridge core i3 2100 on a gigabyte z77 motherboard because core i3 supports lga 1155 socket (1155 pins). but if you need to put a core i5 3570k on a z68 motherboard, you will have to update the z68 motherboard's bios first despite z68 motherboard having same lga 1155 socket. another one - you cannot use an lga 775, core 2 duo cpu on an h61 motherboard because h61 motherboards' sockets cannot fit an lga 775 (775 pins) cpu.
