So 3 cpus are dead

Which CPUs have you tried?

Are those 3x CPUs supported by the motherboard, and are they compatible with said socket / motherboard ?

 

It could be faulty motherboard (socket) rather than 3x faulty CPUs.

There are no bent pins and all the cpus worked on that mobo before

maybe its a power issue

(also have you tried using them without any gpus installed)

I’ve tried 2 psus both work and I’ve tried it without gpus and with like 6 different gpus

FF doesn't always mean a dead CPU.
It could also mean a problem with the board itself, MSI boards can show it if there are dead MOSFETs in the VRM circuit. I know that from past experience with those boards, that's what happened with one I had but the CPU itself was fine and still works to this day (MSI 790FX-GD70 and a 1100T CPU).

I checked the OP's profile and noted they have a Gigabyte but could still mean something else because if the CPU isn't working, then it isn't and the board is detecting it regardless of the cause.

I do suggest to try another board, I seriously doubt three CPU's would just die like that. If they did it's still another issue as in something had to kill them and that cause would most likely be the board anyway.

Gotcha but the above still applies.
POST codes are universal and mean the same even if the make itself is different.

Plug in the diagnostic speaker and run bare minimum HW to post the board.

 

If you get error beeps (more than a single beep) the board is operational and see my sig after you get a beep count. AMI Beep codes is what you'll reference. 

 

If you get no beep at all.... the board is most likely dead, but to test it, just remove the memory and it should have a memory beep count, you can also do that with the video card and the beeps for a missing card should be 1 long and 8 short.

On the Front Panel Header. Read the manual, I have no clue what motherboard you're using to do the work for you.

Shit, my bad. For some reason it read 780ti SLI like the video cards.... 

 

NVM then the error beep speaker is built in.

 

What's the beep count?

It happens. A functioning board will always give at least one beep, and many when there's a detected hardware error.

While you look, you can try a long bios clear. pop the battery out (check it's voltage) and let it sit overnight. Then assemble with the bare essentials and see if it'll post up. Might get lucky, never know.
