I wish almighty Linus could just come down from the sky and fix the problem... 

Or something like that...

 

Have you sent him a message?

Please answer the following questions.
1- Has this setup been perfectly functional before ?
If yes then what happened exactly ? If no jump to 2
2- Did you check the socket & the CPU ? are all the pins intact ? did some thermal paste get on the pins ?
3- Did your H100i leak ? it could have damaged a motherboard circuit/circuits. Corsair covers damages due to closed loop leaks as long as there was no tampering done to the unit.

The "hot" RAM makes me think their could be a short somewhere around the CPU/RAM area. The short could be causing both the RAM overheating and the CPU failure*. So you might try removing the motherboard from the case and inspecting it for loose conductive stuff inside - paper clips, cola, etc. - or damage, or burnt spots.

Burnt spots would be bad news, and the RAM that gets hot may be toast anyway.

 

*the failure could be just a non-lethal 'failure to access the RAM', or some such, that doesn't actually harm the CPU.

A sieve may not hold water, but it will hold another sieve.

Check for broken pins on the socket and check that your case isn't causing any shorts to the motherboard to prevent it from booting. I would take the motherboard out of the case and put it on a cardboard box like your motherboard box and use that as your test bench to ensure that your case isn't shorting your motherboard. Check that you don't have any thermal paste on parts on the motherboard.

I to had an amd board that got burned due to liquid leak.

MY ram was also overheating same as the member and also my CPU died.

I will get another motherboard in a couple hours, if that fixes the issue I will send my motherboard for RMA. 

If it doesn't fix the issue, then I will see if I can get another CPU. 

 

However, I'm pretty damn sure it is the motherboard since I am not getting any output on my monitor. 

Normally spoken I get a "No CPU installed" error if I try to boot my system without a CPU, now I just don't get any signal...
