Just installed mine Shawn ...so far its running fine. @5.0 now. Starting out slow.

Lots of tweaking to do....

Well I've been tweaking this new bios only @5.0 so far, and I've never been able to run stable at such a lower voltage setting

Been lower(no by much, but lower)
It was great at all benchmarks , rendering, encoding and decoding, but at idle, if it sat for a while, I'd get a BSOD, only at idle.
2018 Hardware Thread [2]

At idle my temps are between 27° and 32° and no BSOD

I might be able to go a little lower....maybe. Can't wait to see what this 9900KS chip will take for volts @5.3 ....compared to what I was using.

Let it sit in active a while and see if it doesn't BSOD.

Sure....but I might go back in ...and lower it .05 more.

almost positive it won't crash now ....

Hopefully it doesn't less volts lower temps, the longer you can max a clock without throtteling
Have you tried some render testing using Blender Classroom or pabellon_barcelona_v1.scene_?
