Good air cooling is fine also. A goo AIO will be a few degrees cooler but not by a great amount. I did test with different TIMs a couple days ago and here is what my temps looked like. I only ran for 20 mins just long enough to compare temps and found that the LM was 3~5 degrees cooler than MX4...

I believe this one would do better the NHU-14S TR4-SP3. I am surprised they don't have a NH-15D version for the Threadripper

Thanks for pointing that out. I transposed the numbers it should of been 1.264. Today I changed the orientation of my HSF and changed the TIM to a liquid metal and it did drop a few degrees. I ran a test to see how it did with a normal workload for me (2 instances of handbrake converting 1080 tv...

I guess it depends. For me it's not really true, the main reason I got a 3950x is for encoding HD TV shows to x265 for archiving. There is nothing else I have done that seems any quicker than it does on my old 4770k Intel setup. Earlier today I did a quick bench with all stock settings except I...

Asus ROG STRIX X570-E

I am air cooled on my 3950x and don't see the real need for water. I have run it so far the longest using handbrake to convert 1080/730 HD tv shows to HEVC 265 for over 12 hours straight. For the setting I have it set is 4300 with voltage set to 1.624 and LLC at 3. As long as I don't see over...

I would say your main problem is too much voltage. I know just raising mine .02v makes 5 or more degrees in temp. I am air cooled but even your AIO will respond in similar fashion. I am attaching a couple screen shots, one of my Cinebench score and another with my CPU voltage reduced running two...
