It looks great, I would definitely look at one of the 360mm coolers though and possibly even a second 2080Ti if the rendering software can make use of multi-GPUs.

What is the software you are using? Does it make good use of multi-threads/cores across CPU & GPU?

It's a monster number cruncher regardless.

Oops..apparently the H115i isn't a Threadripper cooler! Or at least isn't on the configurator anyway

It's down to the size of the core cooling plate. The Threadripper plates are rather large so need a bigger cooling surface.
