Much like 3D Mark, games are all about GPU horsepower and no insane thread count CPUs can overcome any limitations from your graphics card. Still, if you happen to be able to afford the Core i9-9980XE then you'll be pleased to note there are no problems here and no need, unlike the Threadrippers, to artificially limit the core count.

Those are insane temperatures. I mean, it's amazing that we've hit a temperature ceiling with something like a 360mm AIO at max fan speeds. It shows how Intel's CPUs scale with voltage and remain stable. But it feels like such a shame, like such an odd product.Quote

How is 68 degrees insane?
If you complain that is gets hot when you start OC'ing then you are missing the point here. This is not a product made for manual OC'ing.
It seems to run perfectly fine, when used as intended.Quote
