UserBenchmark is an instant red flag. They are incredibly biased towards Intel and therefor make sure that AMD CPUs score less than Intel. Use a site like NanoReview or something else to view actual benchmarks. Here's a link: https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-com...en-5-3600x
I remember about two years ago when 5950's were going for $1000 and retailers were selling out. It's crazy how much they've come down in price. Seems like a steal for a 16C/32T ryzen.
My current cpu and I love it but I'm upgrading next zen iteration. Should be a substantial jump for anyone running a zen 1/2 or 8/9th gen Intel. I'll only advise upgrading to this though if you already have an am4 system and could use the 16 cores. If not go zen 4 or wait for zen 5.

The difference between 280 and 360 isn't that much, about 10% surface area, which equals a couple degrees, and both still within comfort for this CPU.

If you can fit a 280 but not a 360, it will be more than fine. Personally, I have my 5950X cooled by a 360, but my case and budget afforded it.
What an interesting motherboard. Five 16X slots. The first is PCIe 4.0 x16 (32 GB/s) and the rest are PCIe 3.0 x1 (1 GB/s). Something to keep in mind if you're ever planning to add more than the two NVMe drives it natively supports.

But why 5 PCIe 3.0 slots are x16 full length? Super weird. Can it be a mistake on the spec?
