Then why were there essentially no blow ups from other motherboard manufacturers? Tell me if my information on this is wrong, but when there's only one brand causing issues then they're the ones to blame for it.

There were, including MSI, who also released corrected BIOS versions.

(But even if that were not the case, it could be explained by Asus being the only board maker to use the high end of a voltage range allowed by AMD, or by Asus having a significantly larger share of users who are vocal about such problems.)
