Yes the PC is much more responsive now aldo I can hear the fans running much more than before. I have then tabs open on my browser and I am only surfing the net and replying to you here. I also have the ASUS Ai suite 3 running and my task master the themps on my motherboard are showing 29c ant the CPU is running from 2.60GHz to 3.01GHz Looking at these temperatures and the fact that I am not exceeding the rated speed under normal loads I don't think i have anything to worry about. All the numbers are there on my the screen grabs of my last post so you should save your settings you have now to your favorites and give mine a go. If you still aren't happy you can easily return to your previous settings. 4.22GHz for 4 hours 100% load =60c. 4.55GHz for 2.15 Hours 100% load =72c. So you can choose as to which setting you are comfortable with.

I am reasonable happy myself. I found out one of the reason the the instability was a faulty ram piece. I have tried to overclock the CPU, but I ended on 3.7Ghz because anything above and the system became unstable. I managed to keep it steady on 75C with an overclock of 3.9Ghz, but it seems the threadripper CPU don't like to stay on 75C for too long, so a test render of about 20 mins and either 3ds Max crashed or a got a BSOD, so I downclocked it to 3.7 Ghz, and now the system seem very stable.
I'm still disappointed about After Effects, I mean I can work, but it renders the preview window frames slower than my previous system and the program is overall less responsive. But Photoshop, premiere, 3ds Max and everything else is fine. 3DS max is a dream to work in now, so I guess I'll just have to accept After Effects being a REALLY badly optimised program. When I render in 3ds Max all 32 threads runs on 100%, but when I render a preview in After effects this is the overall usage :
So 2% of the GPU and 8% of the CPU. I simply cant understand that Adobe believes this this is well optimised program for modern systems (which they have bragged about in various blogs and talks on the MAX convention). My machine is literally in idle mode while after effects is working. It's pathetic, really! Even a few of the effects I had on while rendering the preview were reprogrammed for the GPU and they still hardly use anything of my graphic card.
hey, I assume you mean this right ? the AMD chipset drivers.
AMD Chipset Drivers​ ...Updated them now, of course hoping for some improvements but I think there won't be much more juice to to squeeze out from the threadripper in AE unless Adobe improves the code. If they ever introduce Multithreading again it would be awesome, but they have made no indications and AE recently updated (so probably wont see anything new in AE for a another year again).
I'm still on the fence about sticking with my threadripper as my main computer or go back to the 6850K which I had overclocked to 4.4 ghz...After effects was really good with that one, but I feel really bad staying with old hardware only because of one program and because Adobe doesn't do a proper job. Ill do some more comparisons, I think the system is a bit less sluggish than it was, but if some of my AE projects manages to play realtime on one system and need to render for quite some time before I can preview on this one, it means a great deal to me. 
I taught that I would make a quick drawing to show the computer case I have. But most employment to show the way I have the radiators and airflow setup. I feel that this is most important to help keep the motherboard M.2's and VRM's cool. I hope that this helps some in setting up their new computing monster.
Cheers.

PS. I forgot to mention that the Motherboard I am using is the ASUS Zenith extreme.

Hello!
So far a small feedback of my experience with the i9 7940x delid @ stock 3.1 and some content creation software.
So compare to my old 6 core 5820k, i'm as well facing some slightly slow down in some action in Photoshop, like zooming or mooving, that take some lag befor been operating, well that still complicate to judge after time, cause it was also appening with the 6 core, but im still a bit feeling thoos lags.
Some other actions like merging, launching some files are better. So in the main base usage that not change a lot on Photoshop, even if i can feel like some slyghlty lags beor some action.
No change at all with Illustrator, all the 3D softs, as expected ,turn like a charm, super high perf evrything is super smouth on rendering in C4D and Keyshot, 708% on Zbrush multi-theadring, nice!
I didnt use stress test, only doing my rendering, and the proco dosnt been under 75°C @ full load over 10 min of rendering, witch i'm preaty fine with.
With the delid solution and an upgrad to the dark pro 3 version of the air cooler, i won 20°c compare to my last rig with a not delid same i9. Delid completly woth it as the t-junction is over 100°c.
But when i see the temps on the 1950x aven more OC, i feel i bit jalouse as i like quiet system 
Fortunatly my sytem is super quiet generaly.
After effect well is another storry i start to try to use it to make a first timelapse, and im fronting a lot of trouble, long time to launch, stock on the loading meidacore, modification of some script that alow only 0.4 memeoris on the system etc.. Hard first experience, i went to Premiere witch is performing as well like a charm, to do a basic edition, i would like to play with more effect but that not my main work so let see latter.
And to finsh the sotrage and the speed boot are generaly same for softwars, i didnt notice any difference, but to boot the system is another story, but i'm not sure is the proco as i did the last upgrade on the microcode and windows for spectre and meltdown protection. i know this is more inpact the perf on the M.2 drive, nothing realy bad, just a bit longer when doing a restart. 
Cheers
