Why each option
The LGA 1155 socket supports Intel's second and third generation Core processors (Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge microarchitectures) and compatible Xeon E3 series processors.
The Intel Core i3-500 series processors are part of the first generation Intel Core family (Clarkdale) and are designed for the LGA 1156 socket, not LGA 1155.
The Intel Core i7-800 series processors belong to the first generation Intel Core family (Lynnfield) and use the LGA 1156 socket, not LGA 1155.
The Intel Core i5-2400 series processors are based on the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture, which represents Intel's second generation of Core processors and are fully compatible with the LGA 1155 socket.
Pentium 6000 series processors are not a standard designation for LGA 1155 compatibility; while some Pentium processors are LGA 1155, they are typically identified by a 'G' series (e.g., G620, G850) rather than a '6000 series' number in this context.
Many Intel Xeon E3 series processors, specifically those built on the Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge architectures for single-socket workstations and entry-level servers, are designed to utilize the LGA 1155 socket.
