I went with air cooling on my 9900k, running AVX instructions on all cores, my CPU jumps to max temps and begins to throttle, luckily, I don’t use those instructions in my work.
Its worthwhile to check for throttling, dropping to base clock could mean losing 1ghz x 32 threads, which adds up with long workloads.

It's the CLX Quench closed loop. I went with a pre-configured to save myself some headaches and get a warranty, but things aren't all well and good right now. It's been randomly freezing on me, so I'm trying to nail down just what the hecks going on. It appears to be a corrupt graphics driver install, but I'm not 100% certain just yet. Ugh.
DeeGeeCees_V.2.0:
Yup. Reinstalled the drivers. Seems to be stable now.
Good grief.
DL'ing HWiNFO64 now. Will report back.

Ok, after more freezing, it's nailed down to the GPU. I ran Furmark on the MSI 2080 and it instantly froze up, so I sent it back and have a new Zotac 2080 ti AMP on the way. Currently sporting an MSI GTX 1060 6GB I pulled from the server PC (and replaced it's original), and I've been running stable since. It even handled Furmark really well.
As for the CPU, I'm running AMD Ryzen Master and showing it maxing out at around 62°C for a 3DS Max single frame render with 900,000 faces that took about 60 seconds. It ran all night (15 hours) last night on a 3000 frame (@1920x1080dpi) animation with no problems.

Nice! 62°C is a great temp! I should consider going water cooled. 8-)

It just seems like a more consistent approach to me, but I'm still fairly new to the hardware side of things.
