Gigabyte GA 8I865GM(F)-775 supports only pin less CPU. All LGA775 sockets supports only Pin less processors.
As your Gigabyte Motherboard Has LGA-775 socket. so your CPU must Be Pinless Processor. As Your previously All motherboard Has Socket 478 Which has hole in motherbaord and support processers which has pins on it surface.but newer LGA-775 Socket Has advantage that it is now the motherboard which has the pins, rather than the CPU, transferring the risk of pins being bent from the (usually more expensive) CPU, to the (typically less expensive) motherboard. Furthermore, the risk of bent pins is reduced because the pins are spring-loaded and locate onto a surface, rather than into a hole. Also, the CPU is pressed into place by a "load plate", rather than human fingers directly. The installing technician lifts the hinged "load plate", inserts the processor, closes the load plate over the top of the processor, and pushes down a locking lever. The pressure of the locking lever on the load plate clamps the processor's 775 copper contact points firmly down onto the motherboard's 775 pins, ensuring a good connection. The load plate only covers the edges of the top surface of the CPU. the center is free to make contact with the cooling device placed on top of the CPU.
Thanks for your help.
