Solved What cpu do I need for this?

I really appreciate that. Can you send me a direct link to one? Even when I google that specific number with non k at the end I'm still not getting one with that exact number in the description. I've been going through this for a while and I've already bought one processor and it didn't work. I just built this exact same set up about a year ago, bought a cpu based on the motherboard serial number and didn't have a problem. Unfortunately I don't have that one to go off of anymore because I sold it. This has been an annoying process (unintended pun) to say the least. I had even tried using Google lens on the socket to see if I could get a match. Thanks for your time.
Which variant of the Dell Optiplex 3020 do you have, Mid Tower, Small Form Factor or the Micro, they each have the same MB socket but not the same BIOS as the power ratings to the CPU socket will vary.
You are welcome

Something else to look into.
The other thing that should be a concern is what is it has it caused any damage.

I'm not really sure if it's a mid tower or small form but I know it's not a micro. I put everything in an older Dell case. The screw holes line up. I really don't know how that white spot ended up on the picture of the socket but I looked at the socket again and it's definitely not there. Here is the model number off of the motherboard if that helps.

Doesn`t tell you anymore than you have already been advised here but it does confirm what gen of CPU you need.
Have you tried asking on the Dell forums.

Being that the OP revisited the forum but chose not to reply this thread will be marked and closed.
