Because I encode a ton of video, sometimes using Sony Vegas with the Neat Video plugin but more often via FFmpeg, I decided that I needed to replace my six year old Core-i7 3770k (overclocked to 4.2Ghs at stock voltage) and get an AMD Threadripper. I chose the 2950X as Windows has scheduling issues with the the 2990wx.
I am using a Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 Cooler. I am using the thermal paste that came with it:

I have a push pull setup with two Noctua NF-A15 HS-PWM chromax fans.

The article below says that the (Tdie) value for CPU temperature is the one that a person should look at, especially if you are running an AMD Threadripper.

From the article:
The Tdie value that is reported in the image below is 27C (it is 26C as I type this) when it is idle. Maximum temperature that I have seen on my computer is 46.5C (as shown in the screenshot below). The temperature in my house is 66F or 18.8889C.
27C Tdie - 10C offset == 18C.
Apparently my CPU idle temperature is slightly below room temperature.
That can't be right, right?
Below is a link to my full build.

From the article:
To keep a "consistent fan policy," AMD is forcing a 27C offset on all models Ryzen Threadripper processors. This makes them report the temperature a good 10C above what the sensor reads.
