clean off the burn marks with water (and maybe some solvents if water doesn't work) RMA it, and hope for the best.

Clean with the alcohol based CD/cassette 'head' cleaners - works wonders every time.

I wouldn't even bother with cleaning it up. If a component went up in smoke, RMA it as is. Hopefully you didn't void the warranty by cracking it open.

I hope you were running that thing at 70+C on the cores. Chances are the VRMs were roasting and one of the fets blew if this is the case.
