Depends on why it fried? To much power could kill the mobo without the CPU.. too much heat could do the oposite.. both could do both..
You would need to check it to find out for sure, if you look at the CPU can you see any blackness around the core? Sniff it and see if it smells burnt (seriously..)..

Have to agree that from the picture it looks ok, normally its pretty obvious if its been burnt out.. but that tends to be an over heated thing, the inards could still be fried if it was a power surge (but I tend to find that only PSU's die with power surges)..
Do you have any idea what happened to the board?

The best sign to look for in a burnt out cpu is hazing. Look at the core and see if it's got the colours of the rainbow on it. Seriously. Kind of like oil on water.

Well the PSU and the mobo died... though gonna have the CPU tested this weekend though im a little scared of ruin a second mobo just to get it tested...

Just because you see no burn marks doesn't mean that the cpu is fine, it actually says nothing. If the psu delivered just some more voltage out of the Vcore range the CPU is dead, but it doesn't mean you can see any visual damage. I don't think a broken cpu can damage a mainboard.
