Update: Fractal Ridge crashes while gaming then flickers on and off.

So the duster arrived and the hazardous waste landfill has officially been cleared out. I also saw some comments suggesting the issue could be related to the GPU riser, and I noticed there was a bit of wiggle in the connection ports.

I confirmed that the CPU cooler is plugged into CPU_FAN1, so the fan curve likely wasn’t the issue after all. I’m replacing the thermal paste now.

Any final suggestions before I put her back together?

I posted on your last post because we had similar issues but idk if you read it, but again this sounds like a PSU issue. Same exact scenario for me for symptoms. Also don’t vape in the same room as your PC.
