You can use CPU-z to find out the socket.

Hi thanks for ur reply.

with the help of the socket how can we identify that the processor is pin or pinless?

Why not simply pull the processor and take a look? Takes only seconds and leaves no doubt.

Some sockets are pinned and some are pinless. It all depends on it.

For example, LGA 775 CPU has no pins, while all the pins are on the motherboard.
