did you have the heatsink/fan attached??

As long as you didn't void your warantee, return it or RMA it.

If you bought the mobo from the same place as the CPU's I would return it too. Definately would return the mobo if you fry another.

Does your board have jumpers? Are they correct?

Heatsink must be properly placed with thermal grease and heatsink fan running. Without heatsink, you get a meltdown in a few seconds.
