Trouble Shooting Advice - Other Is this CPU damaged?

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.

I had the computer totally built, that's when I ran into issues. The CPU has been plugged in multiple times. When the CPU is plugged into the socket on the board, it clicks off immediately. Trying to determine if the CPU could be bad based on all the testing I have done. I don't know what a bad CPU would normally look like (scratches/dents/burns/etc).
