Wow, that is great performance, now I'm jealous!!

I'm not talking to you anymore!!

I tuned the fans a little bit, thy were in stealth mode, now I manually tuned them to reahc max at 50°. Thew result is stunning: No matter what I try and throw at the CPU, the temp does not get beyond 75° . For a CXPU of this type, that is a good ans safe value. You may get it coller with expensive and deliberate water collers, no AIOs though, but what for?

I fin summer room tempertaure is 5-7 degrees higher I can still undervolt and underclock a little bit. -0.025 V and -0.2 GHz should be safe to try and by what I read could give me another -5 to -10° in temps. I have more performance reserves than I can make use of.

The GPU - I have nothing to torment it with that brings its fans to leave the lower third of their operation range. Most of the time they are not even idle, but sit still.

When a game is played, they operate in the lower third of their rpm.

Yesterday I did the Nordsschleife in VR - with 90 cars on track. LOL.

Yes I think your new machine will be more than adequate for years to come.

The temperature range of the cpu, I assume you are talking degrees C, seems rather high, I run my old machine around 50C but as you say for CXPU that is low.
I'm from the old era working with mainframes that had to be kept around 25C so I try to keep the CPU and GPU temps as low as possible. What is the norm for a CXPU chip?

I would agree - with lesser CPUs. I kept my older system cooler as well, but these i7s of Kaby Lake and Coffee Lake are known to be hot runners. I am surprised, tbh, that it gives me no greater problems and that I can get away with no dedicated massive water cooling (which would be much noisier).

Critical temperature is 100°C.
