Using A Bad CPU

[coreyjames66]

If you put a bad CPU into a good mobo, can it damage the mobo? How about Memory?

 

[talldude123]

why would you want to use an old processor in a new mobo?

how old is the processor? Pentium 2 era?

Nope, same processor as yours. Coming out of a bad board.

you should be able to use it but make sure its a celeron D. A normal celeron was based on a pentium 3 chip, and celeron D is based on pentium 4 chip.

It is possible to damage the board depending on whats wrong with it.

Thanks for the responses. I guess I'm probably better off shelling out the $80 for the new processor. I'm glad I asked!
