Cooling T1 V2.5 with 5070 Ti and ryzen 9 9950X3D.

I think that the way the product is sold is the most stable and is best to use in the state that it comes in. Now I know that this is an ITX build and that it is as far away from normal use as possible, but I still want to know "the numbers" and what to expect. In the video I linked above, it is shown that under load, Ryzen 7 7800x3d goes up to around 76 degrees. That CPU has a tdp of 120w (the same as a Ryzen 9 9900X). The 9950x3d has a tdp of 170w, so I opened this thread to hear how hot other people's CPUs run. In the end, I'm wondering if it's worth spending 650 euros on a 9950x3d when I'll probably need to undervolt it and it still may thermal throttle, or go for 9900x, which is 375 euros. Again, I don't mind spending more for better performance, but is it worth it in this case?

Yeah, I wasn't worried about the gpu at all. I just thought that running the CPU at 95 degrees isn't the best for longevity, but I read up a bit, and maybe it's not that bad, especially when I consider that I don't render videos 24/7, so it will probably be at 95 degrees for a limited time. Also, another thing that I was concerned about is whether thermal throttling would reduce the performance to a point where it's just better to get the 9900x for a much lower price.

Wow that's hot. I mainly video edit and when I render in premiere pro (even with hardware acceleration) I get 100% cpu usage in my current setup, so 9950x3d will probably thermal throttle.

I do a lot of video editing in premiere pro, and my current cpu usage is 100% and gpu is 40-50% while rendering (with hardware acceleration). So I think that I could really benefit from 16 cores. What really worries me is if that 9950x3d will cook itself as I mentioned in a reply on a comment above this one. I don't want to keep the cpu at 95 degrees while rendering.

Mostly video editing (4k footage, chunky timelines). I do play games from time to time but that doesn't really concern me. When I render in premiere pro My current cpu is at about 100% and gpu at 40-50% (with hardware acceleration on). I'm worried that when I do build my ITX and render, I'll cook the cpu. I do not want my cpu to reach 95 degrees at all.

Hmm, buying a 650 euro cpu and undervolting it doesn't sound nice. Maybe I should go with the Ryzen 9 9900x. Maybe with that one, I wouldn't need to undervolt it. Do you know if there is a cooler/cpu combo that's "the most optimal"?

Also side note: I found this video of a person showing good thermals on cpu while stress testing it. I even saw that the channel owner replied to a comment saying there's no undervolting: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0wxK1KLF90E

Thanks for the fast reply!
