Why does my Vastarmor RX 9070 XT crash in Silksong combat?

Every time a fight gets intense, the game just vanishes to the desktop without any warning. It's incredibly frustrating. The default OC profile on the Vastarmor RX 9070 XT Super Alloy was causing core voltage to swing between 1.05V-1.15V, which triggered a driver-level hardware protection crash. I tried underclocking to 2400MHz, and while the crashes stopped, my 1% lows dropped from 144 FPS to 110 FPS, which felt like a huge step backward. Instead, I used the driver panel to lock the core voltage at 1.12V and loosened the VRAM timings. Running AIDA64 stress tests, memory latency stayed stable at 62-67ns, and the crashes totally disappeared. I had a moment where the fans went full blast during the voltage lock, but a custom fan curve fixed that. Now the card runs at 68-75℃ with VRAM at 82-88℃. After 12 hours of testing, it's rock solid and the input feels way more responsive.
