Cpu and heatsink question

Cleaned off the thermal paste and have the CPU model, will re use my old one thanks it's a AMD A8-7600, pretty low powered which explains the small heat sink
Those MBs do not have the CPU soldered in. . YOu can tell, because there is a lever beside the CPU that you raise up and it will release the CPU from the board, and you just take out the CPU and replace it with another one. Those are definitely AMD Motherboards. Not sure if they are AM4 though
APU: AMD A8-7600 with Radeon R7 Series
Cores/Threads: 4/4
Socket: FM2+
Released: July 31, 2014
RAM: DDR3 2133 MHz
The OP didn't say what motherboard he had. Analyzing the photos I found the model:
GA-F2A88XM-D3H (rev. 3.0)
GA-F2A88XM-D3H (rev. 3.0) Overview | Motherboard - GIGABYTE Global
GA-F2A88XM-D3H (rev. 3.1)
