Fixed: Installing the latest Intel ME(16.1.25.1885v2) from ASUS fixed the issue. XMP works without any crashes. Stable for over a week now. Didn't think to try this after updating the BIOS initially but It did the trick. Hope this helps someone else.

Bought a 13600k on launch day to upgrade my system consisting of the following: Intel i5-12400 ASUS TUF Gaming B660M-PLUS WIFI D4 Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 3600MHz CL16 DDR4 (CMK16GX4M2D3600C16) Before installing the 13600k I upgraded to the latest BIOS from ASUS (v2014). After installing the 13600k the system prompted to configure the BIOS, but enabling XMP I or II would render the system unbootable. Was running with XMP II on the 12400 for several months and I never once had a bluescreen or any instability. I tried manually adjusted timing and frequency and could set timing to 16-19-19-36 and the DRAM voltage to 1.35V, but I couldn't get past 3200MHz with the 13600k... Currently at 14-16-16-30, 1.35V, and 3200MHz with no issues. Haven't pushed timings past that. Strange that I'm capped at the supported 3200MHz memory speed of Raptor Lake... Anyone else had issues with an ASUS (or others) B660 mobo and Raptor Lake? I'm leaning towards this being a BIOS issue and not an issue with the 13600k.

That makes sense and if it's true, not a great design on the Byski waterblock... They should have made it capable of using the same thermal pad placement and thickness as reference cooler.

This is complete misinformation... Thermal pads should be placed on the Inductors/Chokes and the MOSFETs as shown in this picture of the reference cooler: It looks like wonderboy8 already had thermal pads on the MOSFETs as well as the Inductors in their first picture and the one below so I'm unsure how removing them from the Inductors solved anything.

No problem. Windows 10 should work just fine on the new components. Also consider the oldest you can hackintosh with the RX 580 is macOS Mojave and the oldest you can hackintosh with the 5600 XT or 5500 XT is macOS Catalina. None of the Nvidia GPUs will work with macOS. I'd also recommend getting a new SSD since 80GB is pretty small and games will fill that up very fast.

In order of performance, these GPUs would pair well with that older x5675 Xeon you ordered (approx new prices in USD) RX 5600 XT 6GB ~$290 GTX 1660 Super 6GB ~$230 GTX 1660 6GB ~$210 GTX 1650 Super 4GB ~$170 RX 5500 XT 4GB ~$170 RX 580 8GB ~$160 Used GTX 1070 8GB, GTX 1060 6GB, or RX 580 8GB are decent options as well.

Any plans to re-visit this? I noticed a few comments on the YouTube video mention that they had drivers, but they might have been the MPSS or just BS.

I also have a SJ55W and have noticed this same issue when using a displayport cable. It seems to only do it when the screen is supposed to sleep, but stops when my PC goes fully to sleep. Starting to believe this may be a defect with the monitor since y'all have the same issue. But maybe a new cable will help.
