Question I just want to know if my motherboard will be gone or not

[zanefrost12]

I accidentally dented my motherboard near my CPU socket.

No one cal tell until you try to power it up.
How did this happen?

It's hard to tell if the traces are damaged with all the broken socket bits covering the damaged area. But even if the traces aren't damaged the socket appears to be missing the sliding top. It is necessary to push the CPU pins against the socket contacts as you close the lever and latch it, so if it's missing the board will not work.

I had a CPU with bent pins and me thinking I was smart, removed the socket with a drill and ended up denting it
but with the CPU still unable to go in.

wait are you saying that the CPU won't work without the traditional socket.

I'm saying that without a reliable connection to the 1300+ pins on the CPU it won't be able to work. There may be other ways with a 'non-traditional' socket but a top that works with the lever is the best way to assure that happens with that socket.

But a CPU with pins bent badly enough you had to use a drill to extract it sounds like you have other problems that may make both board and CPU unuseable. Maybe post a picture of the complete socket and CPU pins, high resolution of course.

You killed the motherboard.

the CPU came real bent in the mail and end up going overboard

Can't tell much from those as they just aren't high enough resolution
