So i recently damaged the pins on my mb socket while attempting to replace the cpu, my question is.. can my i5 6500 cpu fit/work in any other LGA 1151 socket motherboards or are there specific boards these chips are locked to, thanks in advance.
 
Solution
Yes, it can work with any compatible motherboard.
For a replacement motherboard, you are probably gonna have to look for a used one, or one from a used market.
Do you need help with finding one?
