I have so far, to the looks of it, fried 2 motherboards by just putting them into my case, nzxt tower case, why?

[The_russian]

Are you putting the motherboard standoffs in before you install the motherboard? Are you connecting the PSU correctly? Also how did you come to the conclusion that they are fried?

I have fried in the past like you, just by installing it inside.

And it was from the cable that come from the case, POWER LED/HDD/AUDIO/POWER ON AND USB.

One of my USB was short circuited, and just like than thew mobo died.

Check you cables, try to post w/o them.

Why could I put a old asrock z97 anniversary edition board in there and boot just fine?

I had the motherboard working before installing it in the case, I had it running windows 10 pro just fine

 

The standoffs are preinstalled, and are correct for the mobo

 

It attempts to start everytime I jump the jbat so I dont know what's happening anymore or how to fix my mobo

build your system outside of the case see if it works.

I did that originally, and it worked fine, but after I put the mobo in the case, it wont post at all, I'm trying a cmos reset to see if it will work again

I told you maybe the case cables are short circuit 

[SupaKomputa]

place something (paper sheet / foam) below the motherboard to isolate any electrical contact to the case.

do a barebone install, cpu, mem and gpu only, don't plug anything yet, see if it boot.

Do you think a cmos reset will bring the mobo back to working condition again?

How so, if it's dead?

EDIT: what PSU are you using?

So it worked before you put it in the case, have you tried taking everything back out and trying to boot it? A lot of newer motherboards have good protection from short circuits and will still work once you fix the short circuit. I would try taking the motherboard out and testing everything outside of the case.

Edit: please post a list of all of your specs when you need help troubleshooting something.

It wont boot at all, even after a cmos reset, I just tried
