Just recently bought a Noctua NH-U12S to replace my stock wraith prism cooler. I've had the cooler for about 2 weeks and have noticed that my idle temps are about 49-51°C and 59-61°C when playing games. The sound performance is incredible, so i'm not concerned with that aspect, rather the temps. Are my temps ok?? I'm afraid I overdid the thermal paste. I only did a pea-sized drop, but I remember my idle being a little lower with the stock cooler. Also, I have the LNA installed.

I was wondering? If you want to switch your motherboard, and have two storage drives, can you put on your games on your secondary hard drive? I live in an area that has terrible internet speeds, and i wouldn't want to have to re-download some of the larger games. I do understand that i would have to format the primary drive.

I've had a problem with my newly built system for about a month or so now where i lose connection to all of my USB ports and possibly my pci slots. First, I will be in the middle of playing a game or just browsing the internet when I lose connection to my mouse and the internet at the same time. If I try to reconnect my mouse to the same port, it wont connect. The keyboard I use has a USB port, and my mouse reconnect using that port. Secondly, I use a wireless adapter for my internet connection. I lose connection with my game, if i'm playing online, or with chrome, and my computer can't find any router to join. In other occasions, my computer will randomly shut off with no crash report and reboot. I originally thought that i was using my computer to much, so I let it sit for 2 days to rest. I come to the same issues and still don't know what the problem(s) are. PC Part Picker Config: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fFXBq3

I just got done with building my first computer. I had no problems with the installation and the first boot up, and I haven't been able to get back into BIOS since. I have a ryzen 2700x, asus tuf gaming b450m, and a rx480. If anyone can help I'll appreciate it.
