One of the land pads in 9900k is damaged.
I accidentally installed the processor in a bent socket on my motherboard, causing a pin to stick against the land pad. Even after taking it out, part of the gold plate was chipped. When trying it on another compatible board, it wasn’t recognized and the debug light lit up red. It seems the chip might have been damaged or shorted when turned on. Consider checking the processor for cracks or seeking professional repair.
It seems the processor isn’t being recognized across various motherboards, indicating a likely failure.
