Gaming build mobo help

[Fadsy]

I have been playing call of duty for a couple of hours and my cpu is at 60C, the 3 mounts are doing an adequate job coz my cpu is not overheating, however I have ordered new mountings cooler master said it could take upto 1-2 wks to arrive so have to wait till then.
I will need to remove my gpu in order to dismantle everything to get to the back cpu plate, I was thinking of using a screw driver and hammer to gently tap on the pci slot lock to release the card, what do think of that??????
I have returned the wireless adaptor and will be getting a better one, do u have a pci card option for me I prefer that but if the usb3.0 is faster I will get that coz I have plenty of usb3.0 ports unused.

cpu is mounted properly hence the computer works fine
if u read my post properly u will find that its the cooler mounting that has broke.
the gpu is mounted properly hence its locked in place its not my fault that the lock is jammed it actuall happens to a lot of ppl if u google it.

I build all computers by myself (at least over 20), so I know what you are talking about.

Let's assume the GPU was mounted properly even if the lock is jammed, so let's put that topic away.

When you broke one of the cooler's mounting screws that usually means your CPU is not properly cooled,

because the cooler bottom is not properly pressed against the CPU heat spreader on 4 corners.

update on problems:

Ram problem: I have tried to load xmp 2.0 profile and tried these freq 3200,3100,3000,2993 and 2800, they all crashed except of the 2800 however when I play call f duty for more than an hour it crashes too. I have selected 2663 for now so far no issues I guess I will have to byte the bullet and stick with this freq.

GPU problem: the fans are working fine as I have discovered that they are on automatic setting which means they will only come on when hot. the reason they came on when I first installed is coz the driver and utility were not installed, the utility allows you to select fans settings such as automatic fixed and custom. when I select fixed the fans turn on constantly. I currently have them one automatic but if you suggest otherwise please let me know. As I will be gaming a lot on the pc.
The graphic card lock was jammed I haven't tried it since the las t time, I was thinking of using a screw driver and hammer gently to release the gpu. I don't know why its jammed coz I was careful when I installed it and made sure that I released the lock b4 I slotted the card in. I guess I will have to dismantle and leave the gpu installed on the mobo, its an expensive card and I don't wanna **** it up.

cpu mountings: I have order new mountings and they will take from 1-2 weeks to arrive, I noticed that the cpu temp stay at 60c even when gaming for a few hours.

Internet problem: I have contacted my isp to solve the problem, they ran diagnostics on the internet line and server everything seemed to be ok, however they noticed high interference on 2.5g frequency in my house and my modem is too old and needs a replacement. I upgraded my tarrif to 60mbps download and will be getting new modem.
I have changed the frequency channels on the modem from 1 to 7 apparently this helps with interference, I noticed that my internet speed improved just a little bit got a few more mbps.
I also ordered a new wifi dual band card so I can run 5 ghz frequency as it has much less interference as I was told by isp technician.
When I get the new modem and wifi card I will let you know what happens. I have updated all drivers to the latest.

Internet problem solved.
This how i solved the internet problem:
1. connect to your router with other devices and check the internet speed by going to www.speedtest.net, if your connection is fast then you have eliminated network and router issues.
2. Connect your pc to the router by wired and wireless connection and test the speed, if the speed is slow on both connections then you have a software or hardware issue with your pc.
3. Update your network driver, if the problem is still there then you could have a win or software issue with your pc.
4. install a fresh copy of win 10 from microsoft website which has the latest version 1809 (to find version type winver in command prompt).
5. Once you have installed a fresh copy of windows check your speed connection both wired and wirelessly, if your wired connection is faster then your wireless connection then you have a shit wifi card and should buy a dual channel wifi card that support both 2.4 and 5 ghz.
6. Don't any install any drivers yet until you have a fast connection both wired and wirelessly.
6. Once you have established a fast connection then create a restore point on windows.
7. Install the driver one by one and after each installation check your speed, some drivers and software can slow down your network.
8. If your network speed goes down then u know that the driver you installed is the problem, you can reinstall the driver or use the restore point.
9. Find a better driver from the manufacturers website to use instead.
10. After you installed all your drivers and software then create another restore point incase something goes wrong in the future you can always go back.
11. Try to connect to the 5.0 ghz network on your wifi as it has better speeds however sometimes 2.4ghz works better in some cases depending on your house and interference see which is best.
12. If you install a new copy of windows and the problem is still there then you might have a bad network card hardware.
