    Question I acidentally damaging this component, it can causing failure?

    In theory, it should still work. That is usually used for grounding purposes on laptop motherboards, but most motherboards have multiple redundant ground paths. Worst case scenario... Solder a jumper wire on if it doesn't work.

    How to disable internet connection in windows 7 ?

    There should be no reason to do this on a regular basis... But like others said, the best would be to disable it in control panel > network and internet > network connections

    how to connect a case to the motherboard

    There should be a small header on the bottom right corner by the SATA ports of the motherboard, labeled as F_Panel, I suggest consulting the motherboard owners manual for detailed information. Manuals: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/B150M-A-M-2/HelpDesk_Manual/ Pinout Information...

    AMD FX-series or core i5

    Just because it was released at X time period, doesn't mean it's not EOL... Face the facts, AMD has used the same architecture since socket 754 (don't quote me on that one, pretty sure it has been the same base idea) up till now, they just refined it each generation squeezing out what they...

    Two PSU's have been killed!

    You sure you aren't overworking the power supplies? Granted a cheap PSU with the case isn't good to be using, two deaths so quickly makes me think you need a little more than 400w...

    Windows 10 Update

    Of course it wont have all the updates for everything, but, it's a lot easier on the system to start with the latest version being 1607 and install a few patches instead of starting with 1511 or 1507 then patching up, as there have been many updates released since 1507/1511. Plus, to do a major...

    Windows 10 Update

    It shouldn't take that long, but why did you use the base version to do the install? You can download the latest 1607 ISO from M$ and install the OS using that method, much easier, and less of a headache.

    Getting shocked by PC case, not sure if its power supply or grounding problem

    #1 Make sure your outlet is grounded - contact an electrician for this, hopefully someone reputable that will check your home wiring and ensure you have a proper ground #2 This happens any time you touch the case? Are you touching anything else at that time as well? If you have two devices...

    Motherboard temp too high?

    The case should have places to install fans... Those temps are a bit too high for comfort to me.

    Best wireless router / firewalls

    Yeah... I wouldn't do that, and 2.3.3 when its released will be the last version to support x86. So unless you wanna run PFSense on power hungry 10 year old hardware, be my guest?

    Best wireless router / firewalls

    Yeup... There are plenty of good secure devices out there, to me, straight out of the box, PFSense is no more secure than any other router like device you can buy. It's all in how you have configured and secured it that sets it apart.

    Blizzard Reveals Plans For 'Diablo' 20-Year Anniversary

    It's funny, they have said the tristram event would be all January, every January... But, there's still no patch in sight. Diablo is a failed game, they know it, and they aren't investing anymore time into it.

    Computer Freezes whilst remaining cold.

    ...I highly doubt the Hyper 212 can cool that 9590 sufficiently, and for some reason, I don't think the m5a99fx can properly power such a CPU either, though I may be mistaken on that last part. But seriously, the FX8350, some people have issues with a Hyper212 keeping that cool, and it's only...

    Best wireless router / firewalls

    *shrugs* for basics yes, for me, never could get IPv6 operational, I can thank my ISP for that one. I just don't see the point of deploying PFSense if you want the "basics" though.

    Amatour question about the cooler master hyper evo 212?

    Yes, it's removable... Remove the four screws, and the plastic piece on top comes off, then remove the plate from the otherside of the board... Most manufactures usually just have a foam pad between the board and that plate, but some of the cheaper manufactures will go as far as gluing the plate...
