new cpu dont know what model

[proflopper]

My brother just bought a new cpu off his friend its an intel i5 but neither of us know what model it is or what socket it fits is there anyway to tell without knowing this information?

 

Also, we are unable to contact his friend as he just left on a holiday and will not be returning for several weeks.

Everything should be etched into the heat spreader, like you see here. That will tell you the manufacturer, model and everything you need to know.

since he doesnt even know what socket it is, how should he install it?

its "new" but doesnt have a name on it? take a pic of both sides so everyone can take a look

never mind there was old thermal paste covering it

• look at pins at bottom
• find pics of all models of intel i5s 
• compare pics
• eventually u will find out which model it is

You're looking at a Socket 1150 CPU then, with a matching motherboard. That's a really good CPU, even to this day.
