I've recently upgraded my PC with a new case and motherboard. Here are my specs:
- B550M ASUS TUF
- RYZEN 9 5900X
- be quiet! Pure Rock 2 FX Black air cooler (150W TDP)
- RTX NVIDIA 3070TI
- Corsair Vengeance RGB RT 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600MHz RAM
When I'm gaming, my CPU temperature spikes to around 90 degrees, and I keep getting BSOD errors. From what I've read, the crashes could be related to overheating. Should I consider getting a new cooler? I've attached the BSOD error codes for reference, which might help identify the issue better.

In my experience, BSODs are rarely caused by CPU overheating. It’s usually related to RAM issues, like faulty sticks or motherboard slots, or even the CPU's RAM controller failing. You might want to look into that.
I reached out to Corsair about my RAM, and they're sending me replacements since I've had issues. They suggested the Vengeance RGB PRO SL as a potential fix, but the crashes still happen when my CPU hits around 90 degrees.
