Well I think I know what the issue was. I put Pimax plays quality to custom and put it at 20% and it was still crystal clear. Which I thought was odd. There was not perceived quality loss at all. Went through the config and noticed the resolution was at at like 1700x1700 per eye. Then put it at 100% and it was at like 3840x3840 per eye. Deleted pimax play and reinstalled. 100% slider was at 2880x2880. ( I used steam VR to check the actual resolution coming through)
I guess a corrupted pimax play install was it. Or it thought my OG crystal was the super. Jesus I was going mad.
Also, there is an argument to put pimax play and DCS on the CCD1 without the cache. Average FPS was down like 10fps but it was stutter free.
Putting it on CCD0 with the VCache had a higher overall fps but there was more stutters.
Also, reapplied thermal paste and there is no change in temps.
So in conclusion Pimax play had my resolution almost two times higher than what my headset is rated for. A reinstall fixed the issue.
And P.S. There was a performance uplift going the AMD 9950X3D. Instead of 90 to 100fps. I was getting 110 to 120. Then when switching too DLAA and DLSS (the new transformer model got rid of the ghosting completely) pinned at 120fps.
Thanks everyone who chimed in.
