ZOMG my CPU blew up. *Pics inside*

So me and my brother made a server and we where playing on it and we noticed alot of smoke. Then a pop followed by some fire. The CPU is a E8600 core 2 duo and the board was a MSI P35 (No surprise this happened) Here are the pics. And no the Fire Dept didn't have to come I put it out myself.

Older chips would explode if you didn't put a heatsink on,m due to no throttling.

Maybe one of the voltage regulators failed and caused a short, sending abnormal voltage throught the CPU?
