reusing a cpu?
You can try using the CPU again, but you’ll need to confirm its functionality. Since the motherboard is damaged, you should carefully test the CPU with a multimeter or by connecting it to a known working system. If it responds, you might be able to salvage it; otherwise, you may need to replace it.
Remove it from its socket and ensure a matching one is available on the new board, then it will still work
As long as the socket and chipset match, it should work. The board must also run a BIOS that supports your chip. Since the 12th gen LGA1700 line was the first without issues, that’s usually fine. The main concern is whether your old board carried the CPU with it when it failed—this isn’t guaranteed but worth considering.
