Hi
The obvious things are a faulty CPU, and/or incorrectly fitted.
Does it have a heat sink paste application or equivalent, can the orientation be wrong?

@ann_droid no and im sure that the orientation is not wrong but the cpu has a warranty stamp underneath it.

You should first try replace CMOs battery w a new CR2032 then clear CMOs by motherboard CMOS CLR jumper.
No POST, loud cpu fan and amber power button suggest corrupted cmos.
