I have a Z490 tomahawk, I9-10900K, 32gb ballistix system and I keep getting BSODS, freezes and crashes randomly... I'm unsure if it's caused by temps or the fact that for CPU power i only have the 8pin not the 8+4 due to my PSU only being a CX550

to have a look what the problem could be:
run userbenchmark.com and post the http link of your result, e.g. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/28977730

update the BIOS of the motherboard to the latest version using m-flash within BIOS

check the memory by running memtest.org usb autoinstaller (bootable USB flash drive)

run the RAM @2133MHz to check if it happens then too

check the hard drive for errors with its manufacturer´s tool

rx 560, currently saving for an 80+ gold 750 (went from an i5-2400 so a big jump haha)

BIOS was already updated few days ago
windows integrity tool passed
checking memory on memtest as of posting will update once complete

Edit: failed at Round 5-6% of pass 1 with 514 errors, I'm gonna let it keep running for now

2nd edit: froze a 0:45:03, status failed, errors 514 pass of 19% test 37% test#6

3rd edit: passed after a few bios changes and a swap around of ram sticks, although i am still worried about temps.. is an AIO worth the risk of leaks?

modern AIO's are fine i personally use arctic freezer ii ive got the 360 and 420mm but a 280mm should be perfect for the 10900k..
i currently use a white NZXT x63 280mm ( for fancy reasons ) on another one of my builds using the 10850k and the temps stay at about 30c 40c on idle and maxes at 70c to 80c in cinebench r23 all core .

I always use AIO's now and never once have i had a leaking issue !!
