Welp, after spending 3 days and nights debugging my workstation I can say with 100% certainty that all issues I've been having recently are caused by silicon degradation. First it was PCIe, then random (sporadic) lockups every ~month or so, then issues with USB controller, then iGPU and then lockups became so frequent that it became unusable (2 - 3 per day). AMDGPU issues might even be related to this. Cleaned the system and put it together, but I expect it to crash while I will be sleeping... so I guess it's time to look for a normal motherboard and CPU (thankfully I can get used MSI DDR4 board which doesn't have BootGuard and 14Gen i5 for roughly ~300EUR and it's going to be 20% faster than the current setup as well). This concludes a 3 year-old experiment, if you're thinking of buying cheap pre-production hardware that fell from the back of the truck in China: Don't. It's funny at first, but save yourself the headache. EDIT: It already crashed, it lasted 2 hours and 44 minutes :neocat_floof_explode:
