I am currently on a ROX Strix x99 motherboard with a 6850k, this so far hasn't been bad for me... Last night when I played though cyberpunk (different ending on the same settings it didn't seem to get as hot... maybe less trapped air. I have my CPU and GPU in the Same loop, my GPU got a little over 50°C, max water temp was 37°C, CPU got closer to 60°C. I was looking mostly at the 10920x CPU figure is similar in clock speed as what I am running but with a lot more cores. You guys did bring up some topics of thermals and VRMs that I hadn't thought about. I didn't notice until now that many consumer boards had dropped the heat pipe with allows for much better cooling. My primary pump is on the CPU, so I would prefer to not have to switch over to a mono block plus when looking around at monoblock is seems like stock/supply is pretty limited. It made me think I might want to look more at the workstation line motherboards.
Should most x299 motherboards support bifurication because if they don't I would have to buy a much more expensive adapter that has an onboard controller?
Should I really be even that concerned heat, because even with my existing CPU not running overclocked I don't feel like I am getting crazy bottle necked. I think I really notice it when it come to data compression task and when I am doing actual work.... it still seems to out perform a lot of what's in the actual office.
