Yesterday I was working on an update to my rig. That is why I was not online very much yesterday. Added the following:
 
1. X670E Steel Legend ASRock motherboard
2. AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
3. 32GB Corsair Dominator 6200 MHZ DDR5 Ram
 
Yet to do:
1. Cable management
2. Some more cleaning
 
In case anyone is wondering what that picture is on the Corsair AIO CPU cooler it is an animated gif picture of a hamster running on a wheel

Nice job! What is the performance difference between the 7950X and the old setup?

For gaming I'd say there is a remarkable difference especially in games at high resolutions. For example in Crysis Remastered with everything set to "Can it run Crysis" the game play is smoother than ever before. For productivity such as extracting files, decompressing, Microsoft office, I'd say at least a 20 percent improvement.

Nice looking rig RJ, I just updated my VR rig to AM5 with a 7700X on an ASUS Tuf X670E board with 32GB G.Skill Trident Z 6400Mhz. You should DEFINITELY do some PBO and voltage curve tuning if your motherboard supports it in the BIOS it will lower your temps by quite a bit.

I'm using a Noctua NH-D15S and this dropped my temperatures by about 15-20C and it still holds about 5.2 - 5.3Ghz all core. 

If temps become a problem I'll go into the BIOs and switch on eco mode. I suspect when summer comes again the temps will be quite high.

Not even "if" they become a problem, you should do the PBO curve optimizer for the free added performance and lower temps regardless. My CPU runs at 80C t-die after those few simple steps and holds higher all core clocks as a result now. It's free performance you are leaving on the table. 

I tried this with settings of 15, 10, and even 5 and there was too much app instability and slowdown.

that 3090ti is looking rather lonely all by itself.
 
I like the hamster running on a wheel, wonder if you could tie it to CPU usage, like make it run faster when CPU usage goes up.

I wish I could, but right now it's just an animated gif. 

Beautiful setup, rj!
 
Are you still using the Corsair RM1000x psu? No issues with needing to update the psu to something higher?
I'm looking to pick up a 7950x, too. I'm also using a 1000 watt psu.

When ATX 3.0 PSUs begin to come out I might switch to one of those, just to help ease the cable clutter. 

Nice setup RJ, yeah some settings for some professional apps if you do not get things just right causes instability, the story of my life when using Maya/Max/MentalRay/PS to other adobe products/ZBrush/Mudbox/Nuke, now if I do anything it's just to see how much power my system can eat otherwise I'm just gaming... Takes way more tweaking than a gamer has to do most of the time on professional applications that really utilizes all your hardware. It also can come to luck on the quality of the chip on what you can and cannot get away with or like crap said a single bios setting somewhere or changing the config of a single piece of hardware in the bios.

Been seeing a lot of people doing the delid to drop temps about 20c on the new Ryzen chips. I'm sure or hope AMD address's it on the X3D variants of those chips I am sure are coming in the future. The 5800X3D's performance with it's extra cache is too much to ignore both in gaming and for professionals that actually need the cache for what is loaded and passes through it.

Still once again sweet setup man. You jumping on the 4090 bandwagon or going to wait for the TI?
