Question My AM5 platform had bent pins in the CPU socket when I switched to the 9800x3d. I have no idea how. What can I do to test the socket?

So weird story. I replaced my 7800x3d with the 9800x3d last week. When I took the 7800x3d off, I noticed a lot of weird "holes", or bent areas in the pins. I don't know how this happened. I might have rubbed my fingers or the CPU might have dinged them when I took it out (or put it in originally). There were too small chunks or holes where it looked like the pins were bent. However, I have been using the 7800x3d for months with no issues.

Anyways, I put the 9800x3d in it and booted it up and....no issues? I haven't had a single crash or issue at all. So, my question is...

Is there a program I can run that will test every single pin on the CPU and check it for 100% stability?

no.
