quick question, if you forget to install the risers between the mobo and the case, then try and turn the system on could it fry your cpu?
 
Yes, it could...and probably will. It'll short the board as well. If you did this, please remove the board and put them in.
 
I did do this, I put them in and it would turn on but not post. Same deal with same CPU in a different mobo. I already ordered a new CPU since I confirmed it was bad, I just wanted to see if that's why it went bad.

you say I could have possibly fried the mobo as well, would it be dangerous to put my new CPU in the board if its bad (risers now installed)?
 
It's much more likely that you damaged the motherboard and not the CPU.

I thought of this, that's why I tested the cpu in another board and it was also unable to post.(different psu as well)

if your board is fried it might end up frying any cpu you put in

i guess i will send the mobo back so i do not risk cooking the new cpu as well.
