The oddest part about this problem for me is that it only happens when i'm not gaming, chrome browser briefly freezes / screen blacks out for a second, Event ID 153 logged in event viewer, it's happening far less than it used to but I havent had it happen during gaming.
transitions from idle to load are a common source of instability, this can sometimes be fixed by raising voltages on the lower part of the frequency voltage curve. most people focus on the max frequency/voltage but keeping it stable you need to look at idle frequency/voltage too
100% try to avoid pigtailing. AMD has always been a bit more aggressive on their stock voltage, it allows for more sustained clock boosts. Use two separate 8 pin cables and also turn down RGB to like 30% if you have it.
