You can, but I wouldn't reccomend it as it's incredibly fiddly, and would likely take hours to get right, not to mention risks killing the CPU and/or motherboard if you accidentally short pins together...

It should work with that board but like explained here you might need to fiddle with RAM settings and maybe run them at slower speed than rated due to being cheap board.

The sticker is just something you place on the CPU pads. Look for the pictures, that's the easies part of whole thing. Some sellers on alienexpress sell them with holes made to the side of CPU so you won't even need to cut the CPU bracket.
