Hey everybody! Hope you're doing well
I've recently bought a new graphics card, thinking that it would fit into my small pc. It didn't, so I took my psu, cpu, hard drive and ram out of the pc and put it on another motherboard and case which has more room. However, although everything is working good, the mouse and keyboard randomly stop working. The light for the mouse is working but it's unresponsive! I can't see lights when pressing cap lock, num lock and scroll.
The RAM is from 2 different makers, I read somewhere that you shouldn't do this. Is this why this is happening? Do I have to reinstall drivers for a new motherboard? Thanks in advance guys!

So my pc is a lot better, it only overheats on big games. Idle 50 and full load 70 still.
It works in like pulses, fan toes quiet for a bit, then loud, then quiet, then loud. By loud I mean only around 2000rpm, still very quiet. I guess you were right about just messing around with the settings. Thank you so very much.
Do I end the thread or..?

All I can suggest is play with the temps to find out what they do. Usually the full load temp is the temp at which the fan spins up to 100%. The idle temp is usually the temp that the system trys to keep the system at. BUT this is what they usually do and no guaranty that it is the same on your system.

I do not have a case fan no, and I don't think speedfan is affecting it because I look at the BIOS temperatures.
There is no dust in the cpu cooler, that is for sure.
The wiring could be a problem yes.
I have not overclock or increase voltage.
And all of my fans are working properly.
I'll check the wires when I come home tonight, thank you for your fast response.

OK then lets look at other causes for it being so hot. Do you have a rear exhaust case fan? possibly even a front? These are important for bringing in fresh air in to the case. Also try uninstalling speedfan and retry the smart fan to see if it will speed up the fan with out speedfan trying to control anything.
Have you cleaned out the dust from the CPU cooler? I would imagine you have but this will cause the cooler to not be as efficient. Just use some compressed air to blow it out. If there is any dust bunny's in the system clean them out too. Also be sure the air intakes are clean so fresh air can freely enter the case.
Make sure all the wiring in the PC is tucked as far out of the air flow path as possible. Air flow path is from bottom front to top rear of the case.
Have you OCed the CPU at all? or maybe adjusted the CPU voltage up? These create extra heat.
Be sure all case fans and PSU fan are working properly. Some prebuilt systems use the PSU fan as an exhaust fan. This is not a good way of doing exhaust but works under ideal conditions.
