I've got a setup with an RX 7800 XT, Ryzen 5 5600, B550 Plus Gaming motherboard, and a RM650 PSU. I used to play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 smoothly at 1440p, but after not using it for a few months, my CPU has been overheating, even in games like Le Mans Ultimate. When I remove the side panel of the case, the temps drop a bit, but then MSFS sometimes crashes and my mouse or yoke fails to work, leading to tons of event viewer errors related to tmhidusb. It's just odd since everything worked perfectly a couple of months back.

What's your CPU temperature like when you're gaming? Could be around 84-90°C with the side panel on, but it drops to about 70°C when it’s off. That's a pretty big difference! What do you think? Let’s try and figure this out together.
Definitely keep an eye on your fan speeds! Start by unplugging all your USB devices and reconnecting them one at a time; could be one of them causing the glitch. Also, considering your setup’s age, a CMOS battery replacement might be worth it to keep BIOS settings in check.
You might want to make sure your fans and cooling pump are actually running. Sometimes those connectors can get loose. Also, have you checked your thermal paste? If it’s old, reapplying it might help! Just double-check that your cooler is seated properly when you reattach it.
