It's OK to do so, remember to disconnect the power cord, just in case. Then you should try if your CPU's still alive of not by putting it into another motherboard that uses the same socket ( you have to reapply the thermal paste before putting the cooler in its place, of course ). Your CPU should still be alive in most situations.

Yes, it is okay to use processor from old motherboard but if it still okay.

You need to remove Cpu cooler first then carefully remove processor from motherboard.

Clean the old thermal paste from CPU.

Now place the processor into new motherboard and lock into place and make sure it is perfectly settled. You can also watch tutorials on youtube.

Next Apply thermal paste as described by manufacturer and assemble CPU cooler.
