I have an RMA open for my 7900x but due to work commitments (which I use my PC for) and lack of money to buy another one while this one is being RMA'd I've been unable to send it in. The problem is that no matter what it gets a bit toasty, especially when rendering. I've had to increase the shut off temp from 110c to 120c so I can get my Substance Painter bakes to actually finish baking. Anyway the problem I've noticed today is that core 3 (the "problem" core that always gets 20 - 40c hotter than the others) doesn't seem to "work". as in it's always reported as running at 0mhz, the cpu now runs a bit cooler but the pc just immediately shuts off as soon as I start a bake, as in its like someone tripped the power and then it comes back on. REALLY annoying as I have a tun of work on backlog I need to send in this month.
tl;dr. X299 is **** for game development, if you're building a rig for game development either go with Xeon, or go with one of the older generations like X79
