Honestly with a proper cooling system (preferably a good quality water cooling system), you won’t have to worry much about thermals.
And in all honesty, you should occasionally monitor your thermals to ensure several things:
1) that the cooling system you use is actually able to cope with your CPU and workload (if not, then that’s a very obvious indication that you should really upgrade your cooling system).
2) to ensure that the cooling capacity of your system hasn’t degraded. If so, you definitely need to clean up your pc to improve airflow! Dust accumulation is a thing, and it will reduce the airflow! This might also be an indication that something might be wrong, such as a fan failing, water pump failing, etc...
But from experience, the 3900X and 3950X CPUs seem to run at a comfortable temperature (provided that you use a cooling system that’s actually suited for your CPU/workload... but this honestly applies to all CPUs)

Thank you Post4VPS and VirMach for providing me with VPS9! But now it’s time to say farewell due to my studies.
