If you can undervolt and still get stable, by all means. You win better temps. But I'm in the same boat with my mobo auto OC. It will dynamically adjust OC on the fly, and I'm running every game I have at <70C with it maxed out. While running at 5.1-5.3Ghz. If your cooling and airflow is good enough, it doesn't really matter...

Thanks, man! Appreciate the kind words. That's a 24-incher WFH monitor there, haha. It finally got to experience being the real deal for a few moments instead of being chained to a shitty laptop once in a while.
Re: undervolt, that's exactly where I am at with it. I'm sitting at sub 70 while gaming too but I haven't had a CPU heavy gaming load yet.
Since I have that 360mm AIO, I feel like my temps should be fine. The airflow for me is mostly for the GPU and for the mobo to a smaller extent.
I ended up getting a 2TB 980 Pro from Best Buy for like $80 after a giftcard to go with my 990 Pro main.
4TB in M.2 SSDs is so affordable now, it's hard to believe my first M.2 SSD was a 250GB 970 Evo. I was so stoked when I first got it back in the day, haha.
Anyway, the point is that it's nice having zero SATA cables and mounted drives to worry about. MB's with M.2 heatsinks are standard now and that comes in super clutch.
Crazy what a difference 6 years make.
