The 3950X is suggested to use with a liquid cooler, but I would be amazed if one of the dual tower coolers like the Dark Rock Pro4 or Noctua DH15 didn't work fine in a case with good airflow.
threadrippers don't require liquid cooling, they have a larger heat spreader and lower peak clocks so heat is more manageable.
