Frozen, high-resolution game screen on AMD FX-9590 with 8GB GPU?

AMD FX-9590 requires changing BIOS settings as follows to effectively reduce power draw, excess heating, and screen freezing during game:

Cool & Quiet = Disabled
C6 State = Disabled
NB Voltage = 1.54
High Performance Computing Mode = Disabled
CPU Smart Protection = Disabled
AMD Turbo Boost = Enabled

No need to get a 1200-Watt power supply or expensive phase-change cooler. These BIOS settings will effectively and immediately reduce both power draw and heat while still maintaining 4.7GHz CPU speed. The temperature immediately dropped from 71 degrees Celsius to 33 degrees Celsius starting temperature after applying these BIOS settings and effectively capped at 46 degrees Celsius even after 4 hours of continuous game play.

I have tested these settings and completely eliminated the in-game freezing issue with the AMD-FX 9590 8-Core 4.7GHz CPU paired with the following hardware components:

- MSI 990FXA Gaming Montherboard
- AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB Graphics Card
- Pacific Sun 20GB 1333MHz DDR3 RAM (Also tested with Patriot 16GB DDR3 RAM)
- ThermalTake Water 3.0 All-in-One 240mm Cooling System with double-stacked fans on each side blowing 81-103 CFM of airflow towards 240mm radiator (2 B-Gears & 2 Dead Silence Fans)
- Kingston 480GB 6GBps Solid State Drive
- ThermalTake 700-Watt RGB Power Supply Unit with 5-Year Warranty (Also tested 1200-Watt)
- MasterMaker Gel Thermal Compound fully submerging CPU top encased in rubber frame
- 2 B-Gears and Dead Silence 140mm double-stacked fans rated at 81-103 CFM facing board
- Cooler Master Large Premium Case with Front, Top, & Rear Open Airflow Vents

Are you serious? You also forgot to mention the make and model of your motherboard. To add more to this humorous post, no matter what you do or say, the core of the sun is always going to be hot, as is the case with the 9000 series processors from AMD.
