Wah liddat the motherboard need to reinforce with steel plates if not it will crack!

That HS is just like any high end HS you can buy in the market now. It won't crack the motherboard.

This looks good

On the other hand, Intel's 28-core "new" CPU is a joke. its a Skylake Xeon without multiplier lock. To do 7K on Cinebench i need to buy a damn freezer to cool it

And a year later with the cooling system used with 28 cores Intel, your accumulated electricity bill can buy one more set of 28 cores PC already.

am considering threadripper 2 or Ryzen 2700X. What should be the main reason to get threadripper 2 instead of Ryzen 2700X?

When you're doing stuff that need more than 8 cores and 16 threads from the CPU like 3D rendering, VMs, crunching data, etc.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X for 1850 USD

A new listing of upcoming 32-core behemoth from AMD has emerged. At CanadaComptuers you will find Threadripper 2990X listed for 2399 CAD, which is around 1850 USD. This isn’t actually the first listing of this new processor. Almost exactly a month ago it was listed by Cybersport for 1509 EUR. Therefore, it may be safe to assume that the next flagship model will cost either exactly or slightly more than 1500 USD.

CanadaComputers confirmed the codename and that the chip will be a 32-core and 64-thread part. The processor is listed with 250W TDP, 80 MB of total cache. The listing at Cybersport listed 180W TDP.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X is codenamed YD299XAZAFWOF and according to the picture, it may be available with the same type of packaging as 1st generation Threadripper.
