I used this, among other things, for my personal Blender renderfarm. Cooling was a must.

haha looks like you're aaalmost at the point where water cooling is compulsory.

Is it a Threadripper? I built a couple of those for architectural rendering, such absolute beasts.

10 years!! aren't you woried about dried up thermal paste? I think Re-pasting CPU/GPU every 2~3 years or so is a good practice to prolong longevity.

Ah, sorry for the confusion - that server's been out of commission for a few years already.
