And that volume is probably still not enough for proper cooling.
I bet cooling will be "proper" considering the 3950X is at ECO mode (65W), as long as you keep performance expectations realistic.
edit: To answer one of the other comments, the 3950x or 3900x are completely viable in this beast. You just have to undervolt and set a fixed all-core clock. Keeps performance high/consistent with thermals and noise in check.
