Both your HAL errors are mostly caused by hardware or drivers. As I'm sure you Googled and discovered.
My guess, an unstable OC. Hence my needing to know if the errors cease when they are run at stock. The CX600 offers 46a on a single rail, good, so that shouldn't be at issue.
I'd still like you to place an aux fan blowing over the VRM section. It is a requirement when using a watercooler. When you place a pump over the CPU vs a HS/F there is now very little direct air flow to cool the components surrounding the CPU socket. VRMs mostly. They heat up and all h*ell in many forms can wreak havoc.
My sig is what it is because of a limit of 200 characters, otherwise I'd have three more listed there.
Concerning any possible BIOS "bug' , rest assured that once a "fix' is included in a prior BIOS it is carried forward in the revisions following it. Not doing so would be a tremendously huge error on any company's oversight.
I'll now PM you for some info I need to share a BETA BIOS with you for the Z270 Gaming K6. That is if being BETA doesn't scare you away.
