How to stop Soyo SY-Yanlong B550M from crashing in Atomic Heart?

The game just went black the moment I entered the industrial base, and I lost thirty minutes of progress—absolutely infuriating. The VRM on the Soyo SY-Yanlong was struggling with the high-load instructions of the new engine, with temps spiking to 102-108℃ within three minutes, triggering a hard shutdown. I tried cranking my case fans to max, but while the chassis felt cool, the heat trapped under the VRM heatsinks wasn't moving at all; a complete waste of time. I dove into the BIOS and manually set the CPU Core Voltage Offset to -0.05V and switched the VRM fan curve to an aggressive profile. Monitoring via HWInfo, the VRM temps finally settled between 85-90℃, and clock fluctuations narrowed to 3.6-4.1 GHz. I actually hit a wall where the system wouldn't POST twice after the first tweak, but dialing it exactly to -0.05V stabilized it. CPU temps stayed at 72-80℃, and total power draw dropped by about 15W. After an eight-hour stress test, no more crashes, and memory temps sat at 58-63℃.
