Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels

If you weren’t aggressively overclocking, that sounds like the mobo isn’t doing a great job at controlling voltage. It could also be a bad PSU, the CPU is the last thing I’d suspect on the second failure.

Boards are different, Asus and Asrock, power supplies cheap Zalman and expensive DeepCool. It doesn’t matter. It’s not supposed to happen! And it has never happened before, until they started making some wild voltage controls.
