[MaxTheTech]

I just want to know since I got a friend that needs a new cpu and I work in a computer shop. I'd just want to know if the compatibility spec should be worrying me . since he doesnt have a motherboard from that

Compatibility:

Intel DP67BG Desktop Board
Intel DQ67SW Desktop Board
Intel DQ67OW Desktop Board
Intel DP67DE Desktop Board
Intel DP67BA Desktop Board
Intel DH67VR Desktop Board
Intel DH67GD Desktop Board
Intel DH67CL Desktop Board
Intel DH67BL Desktop Board
Intel DH61WW Desktop Board
Intel DH61CR Desktop Board
Intel DH61BE Desktop Board
Intel DB65AL Desktop Board

ok, you have there a list of old intel mainboards

do you have all those around or planing to selling it with a cpu to acompany it?

each mainboard has its own support page with the list of cpus supported, also the ram supported that seems to be ddr2 for most if not all of them so you will need that, most seems to be lga 775 socket mainboards, so that limits your list to old 2 or 4 cores cpus

cheack each mainboard model in the intel database and decide which one is decent enough and find the cpu and ram for it to make the build

no my friend already has a motherboard that has the same cpu but the K variant. I am just looking to make sure intel is not selling me on that is made only for their motherboards.

Not sure if I'm reading this question right, but if you ask Intel what motherboards are compatible with an Intel processor, of course, they're only going to list Intel motherboards (as in motherboards manufactured by Intel). The list you provided shows chipsets of:

P67
Q67
H67
H61
B65

Motherboards from any manufacturer (ASUS, ASRock, Gigabyte, MSI, etc...) that has one of those chipsets will likely support the processor you have. You will need to check the CPU Support List for any motherboard you might be interested in to verify compatibility.

what cpu do you have, or your friend, you lested mainboard but never said what cpu

please be as specific as possible and when asking for help, be clear and concise on whaty you want and what you have

you have us guessing and help people this way is not possible, or at least i will not do it
