Hi All,
I'm working with a 2290wx setup and trying to boost CPU render times in Maya. So far, overclocking has caused the program to freeze or shut down completely... Temperatures have also risen significantly (70+), making me worried about potential damage during extended renders.

Here are my specs:
Processor: Ryzen 2990wx
Cooler: Cooler Master AMD Wraith Ripper
RAM: G.Skill TridentZ 64 GB (4x16GB)
GPU: ASUS Turbo GeForce GTX 1060 Turbo
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME X399-A
Please help!
Thanks

Based on what I've gathered about the Cool Master Wraith Threadripper, in many situations one of the fans isn't positioned correctly, forcing users to manually adjust its orientation. If this applies to you—given how frequently people mention it—you'll likely need to flip the fan. This issue could lead to significant thermal problems that are hard to diagnose unless you verify your fans are facing the right direction. I haven't personally examined the cooler, so my advice is based entirely on customer feedback. Still, flipping the fan might be a useful first step to improve airflow and prevent hot air from continuously hitting the CPU, especially with large threadrippers.

Thank you for your quick response! It seems there isn't much available about flipping the fan around. I removed the shroud from the wraith ripper, and the fan appears stable... Do you know where to locate additional details without damaging it?
