Ok, let me help you so you can stop with the questions.

 

For a processor to be used on any board, it must be socket, chipset, AND BIOS compatible. To determine if it is BIOS compatible, you must ask or verify with the motherboard manufacturer that it is compatible with THEIR BIOS. If so, then you can use it.

 

But, why deal with such an "old" processor that is no longer supported?

 

For you specifically, rather that asking about different processors, just ask your Q65 chipset motherboard which processors their motherboard BIOS supports. Then, select from those.
