Went to Gigabyte for RMA, and the motherboard booted fine with their processor. So it turns out that the processor is damaged. Anything I can do about that?Board is probably defective.

There were symptoms of Overheating and I had cautioned the OP to get good Cooling a while ago. But I think it must have been a little too late before he could get new Cooling Fans etc. As you said CPUs are the least often damaged part in a Computer but it does occur from Overheat and Power Surges.In the years past , it was like broken or bent CPU pins from the use of undue force during installation that used to cause problem from lack of proper electrical contacts. Newer processors have different types of contacts to the socket which are less likely to be bent or broken.Ive never known a CPU to get damaged unless its been overclocked or overheated of course. If you've bought it second hand can't expect much.
I am pretty sure it happened due to overheat. :/Ive never known a CPU to get damaged unless its been overclocked or overheated of course. If you've bought it second hand can't expect much.

I guess. Had to learn the hard way I guess.If you've applied the Thermal Paste and installed the CPU Fan you shouldn't have issues with Overheating.
