Is this CPU damaged?

Hey there.

Ive been having issues with my new build not posting and my motherboard telling me its a cpu related issue. My new i9 9900KF looks like this. Especially take not of the bottom left corner.

It seems like there are tiny marks on the landing spots for the pins. 

When installing the cpu i was gentle and didnt scratch it around the socket as far as im concerned but this seems odd to me. Could this be the issue or are these marks more or less a common thing?

NOTE that these marks are way more appearant with my phones flash on while taking a picture without flash they are very very subtle to see

More often the motherboard's BIOS is just not up to date enough, the F CPUs came later than other 9th gen CPUs after all

But with a ROG Strix Z930-F Gaming shouldn't there be support for these CPUs from the box? Ive checked the BIOS updates log and as far as i can tell there is no mentioning of adding support for those CPUs in a later version while also claiming on the Box it supports 8th and 9th core processors.

But do you think this could actually be the issue?

The F skus arent in the first batch of 9th gen CPUs released.

 

Not that you can really tell it's something else without an older CPU to at least get into the BIOS.

So, probably my issue is the BIOS which i cant update without it posting. Im wondering: in my manual it says that i can stop the Mainboard from checking on itself during POST and enter BIOS. Since i dont have any video output on my monitor, spamming the delete key probably wont do me any good in actually reaching the BIOS, right?

And even if it worked, I do need a supported CPU to perform the BIOS update or am i mistaken? So I do need my motherboard manufacturer to send me a kit with a CPU to update my BIOS?
