Questions about this item
What motherboard socket is required for this Intel Pentium E6500 processor?
The processor uses a Socket 775 interface, so the motherboard must provide the same socket for installation.
Will this 65 W CPU work with a motherboard that only supports 45 W TDP parts?
No, the 65 W thermal design power exceeds a 45 W board limit, so a motherboard rated for at least 65 W is needed.
