Is my motherboard unusable

Solution
yeah, looks like you have a number of bent pins. you can try to bend them back using a magnifying glass and a needle, for example, and give it a try. or buy a new just buy a new mobo.

i have bent pins myself, it sucks. removing the cpu tends to be my issue since its hard to grasp and likes to slide around.

Asrock z97 anniversary edition

I bent pins on another mobo too, gigabyte z97, so frustrating, I ordered another z87 and hopefully I won't screw up this time
