    Do you need a grille at the back of a motherboard?

    My guess is OP thinks about heatsink on VRMs. Simple rule here: if manufacturer built motherboard without heatsinks, it will work without them, of course within limits set by manufacturer. But if you try aggressive CPU overclock on a board without VRM heatsink, yes you can damage motherboard.

    Connect 5.1 to PC

    To output 5.1 sound from your motherboard you need 3 cables with mini-jack each on MB side, each cable sends signal for 2 channels. Your Samsung uses only double RCA as input, so I don't see a way to make it work, at least not without some kind of adapter.

    Burning plastic smell coming from PC

    It could be your motherboard or it could be PSU. It could even be a piece of cable touching some hot area (like CPU heatsink). It could even be dust burning if your case has a lot of it. You should try to track the source of this smell, otherwise it would be rather hard to help you.

    C programming help

    if (hourly == 0) 'hourly =0' is not comparison, it's assignment, making hourly equal to zero, so it becomes 'if(0)' which is untrue, so 'printf' is not executed.

    My mic is suddenly not working

    Okay, that headset has 2 mini-jack plugs, right? Skip that 'little device' and connect mini-jacks directly to PC and check if mic is still not working.

    BIOS not Showing USB HDD while trying to boot from USB.

    Seems to me your laptop has DVD. Why not use that instead, if booting from USB gives you trouble?

    B150 Chipset for Kaby Lake?

    Yes it is possible to use B150. Chance is, if manufacturer updated BIOS already, there would be nothing to do. However, more likely it will need to be updated. If so, you need to put SkyLake CPU into motherboard so the machine can post, and once you are in BIOS you can do the update. If you...

    Graphics Card Software Help :(

    Did you made a restart after update? My guess is Windows updated only GPU driver and AMD software is not aware yet that driver has been changed. You may need to reinstall the software. But on the other hand, if machine runs flawlessly and you are not really using the software, you can leave it...

    An act of competitive website, is that even legal?

    Everyone can find IP of any website. He can't locate you without the help of your internet provider. Just overreacting. Yes it's legal. Don't see need for police. And you should delete the content copied from other website.
