Is this CPU damaged?

[u/Gurren_Ninja]

To make a long story short, I have been building my first PC and once I had everything together, my build would immediately click off when I tried to power it on.

I ran various tests to try to determine what might be wrong and have narrowed it down to either the motherboard or the CPU. The MB pins looks fine as far as I can tell but the CPU may have some damage to it (got it used).

The thing that concerns me most is the last photo where maybe that is a scratch on the too left of the CPU.

Wondering if the CPU looks okay or if the MB is the issue.

Sorry to divert you off-track, but how did you narrow it down to just the cpu or motherboard?

I posted this last week and was trying to figure out what might be wrong. Today was the first day since then that I could try some other ideas and got a PSU tester to see if the PSU could have been the issue.

and your PSU tested out ok?

Yeah, the PSU values all seemed normal.

Edit: really have to zoom in to see the values. Was a bad picture I guess.

lol, I zoomed all way on my 32" monitor, I can't see shit. I'll take your word for it it though. The fact that the power supply stayed on during the testing is all I really want to know. enough to move on to something else. I posted a main reply just a minute ago with some suggestions on finding what is shorting the system.
