As I understand it, Ryzen is all about the thermal throttling. If you have a hard time getting the clocks up, get a better cooler.

I'm getting a 3950x soon. I got a noctua air cooler for it because of that.

New Yeah, I'm open-minded on the cooling issue.
This case isn't really suitable for an AIO, so it'll be an air solution for me. I'll definitely consider a Noctua myself - especially now they do them in black, instead of that awful beige/brown combo!

The nice thing about the Prism is that the downward airflow also cools the VRMs, which is nice.

You may also want to consider re-shrouding the Thicc card. Check out this review, paying particular attention to their comments on the card's thermals:

The TL;DR: it's even worse than the reference design in its thermal behaviour.
