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.

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.

If you already see the holes it's likely unsafe for long term use/ stressing.... maybe they are beng in your first installation of the 7800X3D???

Most that can happen is to not work or be unstable.

Not really, with the CPUs now pulling considerable current, if the power delivering pins are bent enough to cause some gap between the pads and pins, it could cause arcing and potentially burn something out, like the reported case of the mis-installed 9800X3D burning out the chip and board together. If it's data line or ground pins only it maybe just undetectable or unstable, it depends.
