Still plenty of headroom. Temps max out at 51c. My little 240mm Corsair AIO does a pretty good job of cooling the 7980xe. Ran the test 5 times in a row. CPU cools down very quickly. 36 threads of "yes >/dev/null" running continuously would likely do a better job of stressing the CPU.

No suprise.. apparently you seem to heavely underclock the i9-7980XE to 3.5 GHz. Running cinebench, your CPU should remain constantly at 4.4 GHz max. turbo stock unless you define 3.5 GHz as max. turbo frequency in your BIOS. It also seems that you do not use the sync all cores BIOS setting.
Demonstrate that your 240mm Corsair AIO suficies in running your i9-7980XE @ 4.4 GHz with sync all cores enabled, i.e. at stock speeds.. curious to see your IPG cinebench results under factory conditions
Currently you are wasting nearly half of the i9-7980XE’s full stock potential due to insufficient cooling implementation.
Show cinebench and geekbench scores in addition and compare with those presented in my guide ..
