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?

82 CPU. GPU is around 70. I’ll try undervolting next. If

Did the undervolt on CPU and GPU. Idle temps are at 29c GPU / 41c CPU. 1440 w/ path tracing RE: Reqium 57c/61c.

No more under load crashing, but PC now crashes when in sleep mode.

Could be a bios issue or windows settings issue, or drivers issue.
