Vary nice, your moving along quickly. 
 
I'm waiting on new 2X memory cooling block, heatsinks.  Hopefully start putting my system together on 9/25/2021.

Oh my goodness! How much radiator surface area do you own? 
 
Wowie, you can certainly improve on my overclocking results. I'm only using a simple Noctua heatsink with a single 140mm Noctua Industrial fan.

going above 5.3 needs avx offset 1 and avx 512 offset 1. if u run higher than 5.3 clocks on avx workload it will clock down to 5.3. this is an intel thing.

I'm not running any AVX or AVX 512 applications at all so I just disable both. I also disable Adaptive Boost Technology and disable MultiCore Enhancement and just go manual setting each core to its own clock speed. There are some amazing combinations! 
 
With the 5.5Ghz in bios that's two cores at 55 two cores at 52 two cores at 49. But I don't run that as a daily, lol. That's only for Single Thread benchmarks like Cinebench and CPUZ.
 
But that's for CPU only overclocking - when you begin to overclock your mem kits unfortunately the higher they clock the lower your CPU will clock, at least that's how it happens for me on air. 
 
With b-die:
4800Mhz CL16 the cpu will clock up to 5.3Ghz
5066Mhz CL17 the cpu will only clock to 5.1Ghz
 
With Hynix:
5333Mhz CL20, CPU clocks to 5.3Ghz (kinda cool 5.3Ghz CPU and 5.3Ghz memory) 
5333Mhz CL19 CPU only clocks to 5.2Ghz
5600Mhz CL20 CPU clocks to 5.2Ghz
5866Mhz CL21 CPU only clocks to 5.1Ghz
 
That's Rocket Lake I guess at least with air-cooling. Custom water you may achieve much better results, I just don't know.

do not disable avx please. (DARK CANNOT DISABLE AVX/AVX 512, no option in bios). WINDOWS uses avx 2 , and most games use avx as well. avx 512 if u want u can disable but better to keep to enabled.

Here's my result from CrystalDiskMark:
 

 
Those numbers are ok, but then I ran the same test on my 570X rig (5950X) which edges it out on sequential reads and puts the smack down on random read/write compared to the Z590:
 

 
The 570X rig has dual Sabrent 1G NVMe 4.0 drives in it and I did the test to the D: game drive and not the OS drive, but I was not expecting that big of a difference, especially since the Z590 has a clean Win 11 install (both are on Win11).  To be fair, the X570 is running a 17% or so OC where the Z590 is stock except for memory being set to XMP1 gear 1.
 
Full specs on each rig:
 
Intel Rig:
Mobo: EVGA Z590 Dark
CPU: 11900K
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Neo F4-3600C14D-16GTZNB (single rank)
M.2: 1x Sabrent Rocket NVMe 4.0
GPU: PNY GT720 (will be replaced with 2x EVGA 3090 FTW3 in SLI once CPU is tuned)
CPU Cooler: Optimus Foundation
Pump: EKWB EK-Quantum Kinetic TBE 300 D5 PWM Pump-Reservoir
Rad: 1x XSPC 480 (will be 2x EXPC 480 once the 3090's are on water)
PSU: EVGA 1200 P2
 
AMD Rig:
Mobo: Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Formula
CPU: 5950X
RAM: G,Skill Trident Z Neo F4-3600C16D-16GTZNC
M.2: 2x Sabrent Rocket NVMe 4.0
GPU: EVGA RTX 3090 KingPin HC
CPU Cooler: XSPC
Pump: EKWB EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 PWM Pump-Reservoir
Rad: 480 Thick (forget brand/model)
PSU: Corsair AX1500i
 
Will be interesting to pit the 2 rigs against each other once the Intel rig has been tweaked.

My ASUS Crossfire VIII Hero WIFI with the Corsair MP600 Pro XT in slot 1:
 

Impressive numbers!
 
Got everything wired and plumbed.
 

 
It actually does look mostly empty still, lol.
 

 
Aqua Controller:

 
The Thermaltake Core 9 isn't my favorite case given how huge it is.  I prefer open cases, but since I had this sitting in the attic and it has a 5 1/4" opening (very rare these days) for the Aqua Controller, I decided to use it for this build.  If I go hard tubing later, I'll definitely get a different case and I guess I don't really need to keep the display attached to the Aqua Controller, which will expand my selection quite a bit.
 
Cinebench 15 run is barely registering on the coolant temp graph:

 
The PSU definitely did notice the run however:

 
Core temps are much better now that the coolant is flowing in the right direction:

 
Guess I'm ready to drop in the 3090's next!

Did he just say 3090s? As in plural? As in more than one? 

Got the 3090's shoehorned in:
 

 
SLI Bridge:

 
Black heatsink on the backplate of GPU closest to CPU with 3,000 rpm fan on it:

 
Also have a heatsink sandwiched between the GPUs to keep the 2nd GPU VRAM cool.  That one also has a 3,000 rpm fan blowing through it as per the 1st pic.
 
Both the front panel connectors and the RGB connectors are NOT horizontal, so I had to bent the pins to clear the 2nd GPU:

 
EVGA was on the right track with the horizontal connectors, but for some reason they decided not to do the front panel connectors nor the RGB ones...
 
Anyway, once I get water blocks on the GPUs, those connectors should clear.  Might also switch to hard tubes at the same time.

That looks like a really nice case to work in.

did you set the voltage manually on your 11900k? It seems like the voltage is pretty high for a 5.2GHz all-core setting. Mine doesn't get that high until 5.3+. I think it hits 1.460 at 5200MHz during the OC Robot run. 1.549V at 5300MHz. I currently have it set at 1.39V adaptive with a +50mV offset and -25% droop with ratio-limit set at 5.3GHz for 1-4 cores active, 5.2GHz for 5-6 cores, 5.1GHz for 7-8 cores. I can benchmark at 5.3GHz all-core, but for any normal usage I don't notice a difference at 5GHz or 5.1GHz from 5.3GHz, so I just leave it there to be nice and cool.

very sharp build
 
those are nice cases - I've got one also. 
 
Did you find one for sale recently or you already had the case ?

it looks like u have disabled ocp(u have maxed ocp). its better to keep it on for safety reasons for daily(default is disabling them, I know its confusing)
