I know the feeling all too well

I didn't just jump to the suggestion of an RMA on the CPU, given the troubleshooting
we have already run through it is the next logical step. I would RMA that RAM along
with it just to be sure it isn't bad too. At this point I am about 90% sure it's
the CPU. One can never be 100%

This wouldn't be the first time pages and pages of troubleshooting ended up being
because of a dud intel CPU. Their memory controllers seem particularly prone to
being DOA for some reason. When they work out the gate there is no problem (they
don't tend to die).

A0 - A7     Problem related to IDE or SATA devices. Please re-install IDE and SATA devices. If the problem still exists, please clear CMOS and try removing all SATA devices.

But given we already tried a bare bones test (nothing but RAM, CPU and power) I
am thinking the CPU is likely bad. If you have any SATA cables connected to the
board you can try removing them, even just a cable with nothing on the other end
can cause issues.

I am still leaning toward the CPU however.

Yup unplugging the drives and cables produces a a2 code

so a2 is my final code.

you think that the cpu caused the first marks on the pins of the first board.. Im kinda scared to take this cpu back off now for that reason.. I dont wanna look.

No, the CPU couldn't do that. It just has contact pads, you have nothing to worry
about.

Did you RMA the RAM too as I suggested? If you have any other RAM to test with
then that is our last step outside of double and triple checking the connections.

I RMAed the one stick that was throwing multiple codes and kept the other stick I did take the ram out completely and it was throwing a 53 code I believe can't recall as it was yesterday but it was the code for ram... Stuck it back in b2 and code a2 popped up again. So at least it's being consistent.
