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?

Pins no but you can check stability in OCCT for instance.

If it's fully stable, it would mean that all is within specs. If it isn't, the error may be traced to particular pin(s) if you look at grid schematics.
