So for more than a week I was researching cooling for the 5950X to replace the Wraith Prism. While playing Cyberpunk 2077 it can reach to 90C, hovering at 87C most of the time and being throttled (4.5GHz to 4.6GHz cap). Then sometimes spiking and shutting my system down frequently. So I stayed away from Cyberpunk for the most part and play other games instead. Sometimes it has shut down playing Battlefield V but it is rare and one time it shut down while playing CoD Cold War. Now, I reduced the shutdowns by sticking a 120mm fan sitting sideways on top of the 3090 FE just blowing into the CPU heatsink. Not the most aesthetic solution but it manages... sort of. The thing is that even like that, sometimes the rate at what the heatsink can dissipate heat can't keep up with the speed at what the CPU can heat up suddenly, thus failing and rendering a system shutdown.
Anyway, while researching I gravitated towards two options. The Dark Rock Pro 4 or the Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black. I felt the D15 looks cooler. Although I prefer the Master Cooler MA620m as far as design goes, but it's not as capable as those two.
I looked for other options for a few days with no avail until I stumbled across this.

What an insane air cooler design. It uses a different technology than normal heatpipes and it's 4.4 lbs with all four fans.
After a couple of more days I decided to jump the gun and went for it so it's on its way now. I'll have some results when it gets home.
EDIT One Month Later:
Final Result - See the journey and temp results in posts below & page 2.
