I have an 3900x and in gaming it easily hits 80-90C. In 100% load it gets 97C and throttles. I switched to Noctua D15 and it does not go past 70 on full loa dand 60 on gaming. Higly recommend it, its so silent.

"throttles" Are you certain you don't mean "stops boosting" when you say that? I'm running exactly the same: a 3900X with the default included cooler. Yeah, it hits 95C and at that point it's running at 3.8 GHz instead of 4.4 (I never see 4.6 unless I boot Linux in single user mode). But 3.8 is the base clock speed, so I don't think "throttle" is the right word for "running at base clock."
