I recently discovered that my i9 12900kf has become bent due to heat after I installed a new water cooler. Now, my PC won't even boot; the fans start up but then abruptly shut off. Am I looking at replacing the CPU as my only solution?

Just so you know, heat isn't likely the cause of the bending; it's usually due to improper installation of the cooler.
Maybe it was my fault, but I've read posts from others claiming their i9 12900k bent from heat.
