- Is it possible the A320's VRM phases simply can't handle the transient spikes of the 9060 XT, regardless of the temperature?
- Given that the PSU upgrade didn't solve the issue and this motherboard lacks any VRM heatsinks, is it likely that the A320M chipset/VRM layout simply can't handle the power demands of a 5600 and a 9060 XT?
- That mobo has no heatsink on VRM at all, before upgrading, you can try to attach some little VRM/RPi heatsinks to them and give it a try, they should run cooler.
- It's possible that a low-wattage power supply damaged the motherboard's VRMs.

Given that it's a budget A320 with very weak power delivery and no VRM heatsinks, it simply seems incapable of handling the power demands of this combo. After hitting triple digits in stress tests, I suspect the power phases are either damaged or just too poor to provide clean power during the transient spikes of the 9060 XT.

It's a very poor board, if this issue has followed you through multiple GPUs and a new PSU, I would definitely start to suspect the mobo.
