The ones that do not get hot at all are not ok.

Not knowing that there was a space between the heatsink and CPU means you are not experienced. This is also the reason why you sometimes fail.

If the power supply is burned, the processors will not have a power input on the power pins. Try to check with a multimeter and the datasheet of the CPU.

i have had a processor get really nice and warm when it was indeed rooted for one reason or another. Simply getting warm is not an indication of the processor’s health in my experience.

Sometimes too a motherboard has not booted unless a system fan is connected to the motherboard - this happened once!
 *pretty sure I know how you feel about this.

Bad caps on the older board maybe.  The X7DB8 is from 2008.  Right during the time of crappy caps on the market.
