Okay, PSA - MS fucked up something related to input for xbox controllers. I thought I had some weird performance problems and was really confused.
The fix listed in this thread works (mostly) but in my particular case the 2023 version was deleted by the OS (1/2)

Small preliminary update, here. Installed the 14600K, power limited it to 65W, dropped boost frequency to 5 GHz from 5.3 GHz, core voltage adjusted in increments to -100 mV (seems stable!). Applied the tuned memory profile I had for the RAM - works flawlessly.
Temp is around 70-85 C under heavy load

Aaaaand we're back... Can't believe it! New WHEA issues out of the blue and only for playing Alan Wake 2 (I switched from my desktop to the living room PC to do the testing on the AMD cards on the former).
What's weird with this is that the device spewing the errors is now changed (Intel PEG10)

Another weekend, another update.
Yesterday, i tore down the build, installed a different GPU and all was good! Haven't had time to test OG GPU but thought maybe it was that?! 🤷♂️
Nope, after several hours of gaming yesterday, it now crashes every time i start the freaking game!

Made my mistake 1 day late. Bought a USB-C 3.2 gen 1 128 GB drive for *not super cheap but not expensive money*... it writes at 12 MB/s.... Worst tech mistake I've made in a long time. Quite upset.
May 30th is National Mistake Day! Go for it!
Be reckless today! Make every mistake you can!
