Cables and all are seated fine.

I’m pretty sure many of the issues are with the driver but I can’t say yet.

AMD drivers are always been a hit and miss regarding stabilty.
Don't have any experience with them lately (last Radeon card I had was an ATI, and even then you needed modded drivers)

But I have a similar system as yours, Asus TUF X570 MB, AMD 5800x and an Asus 3080 with a Corsair 750W PSU, my CPU cooler is a Coolermaster Hyper 212 (the old AM3+ kind)
At stock out of the box the CPU would run hot and was unstable, reaching temps till 85 °c and it would start thermal throttling, Vcore was between 1.4 and 1.5 V.
So I disabled everything of overclocking (especially the Asus Optimized crap), undervolted the CPU to 1.12V (and overclocked it to 4.5Ghz).
System became stable and temps dropped alot. Now it reaches 65°c max in a Cinebench run, lower with gaming, roomtemp around 20°c. I also undervolted the GPU (and downclocked it a little bit).
With the 2 undervolts Combined, I think I lowered my powerusage with arround 100W and the system runs cooler and more stable.
Check the Realtek audio driver, on my system it would occasionally give a BSoD under certain conditions. Since I removed that driver and used the default windows drivers, I never had a BSoD.

Don't know if this is going to help you, those are just my experience, some things that helped my system to get it stable.
Jayz2cents has some how-to undervolt video's of AMD CPU and GPU.

Started a new game... I'm not sure I've ever laughed this much in a solo game.

Is that the Stanley Parable or whatever its called?
It looks familiar to me but i just cant recall what its name is.

Bingo. The "Ultra Deluxe" version but I never played the original so it's all new to me.

So AMD had released another driver update and since then, I have had zero issues that I had mentioned before.

The card has been amazing! It's super quiet, even when I play more intensive games like Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition. The system also cools off very quickly.

So I guess I can conclude for now that the 7900XTX is a perfect fit for my H1v2!

I watched exactly one review before buying Superliminal and though I agree with that review to a point (that the puzzles can be repetitive) it seems that the style of puzzle changes right when you've learned a new trick in the game.

In terms of puzzle games, if you like portal, you'll like subliminal too. There was an entire "horror" section that can I hated but I don't like horror much at all. The game is about dreams so it's not horror so much as it's hints of whatever you imagination wants to make up... with blood on the floor.

I do think the end message of the game is SUPER positive. I wasn't ready for some really great life advice but the game delivered it in a really great way. I was surprised by that.

Overall, if you like puzzle games, 11 out of 10 would recommend.

I read exactly one post on this forum before heading off to Steam. Given the overall rating and price I thought is was worth a shot.
If I rate it poorly I'm going to ask Wally86 for a refund.

I didn't even know I could give refunds but I'll talk to steam on your behalf lol.

If you did pick it up, let me know what you think!

Got stuck, restart level, ended up back at very beginning, uninstalled at 57 minutes.

Holy schnikes, for real?

[Captain Snooze]

Yep. Admittedly, I didn't know my blood sugar level was so low.
I will give it another go when I'm not so antsy.

[Captain Snooze]

I've now clocked 3.2 hours.
I would put it in the Portal genre but it isn't as polished; I find the puzzles/game play a little clunky at times. I am guessing I haven't progressed very far as yet.
I'm thinking it isn't bad but it isn't doing a lot for me at the moment.
On a scale of 0-10 I'm rating it above 5 so it's a small win.

My blood sugar is fine at the moment (4.4mmol/l as opposed to the 2.7 in the above post) thanks for asking.

[Captain Snooze]

What a great idea for a thread!
I can post my blood sugar level at the time of posting. I'm sure the thanks would roll in.
And given how often I test, my posts would always be towards the top of the threads list. I could then branch out into other topics because my bgl is relevant to just about everything I do.

@Mods please move this post to the correct thread.

[Captain Snooze]

That's enough, I'm over it.
