Hello, your setup looks solid for everyday tasks, but the B450 Tomahawk Max AM4 might not be the best fit for your Ryzen 5 5600X. It could limit performance gains, especially with newer CPUs and DDR4 memory. A better option would be a more recent motherboard with better support for Ryzen 5000 series chipsets and faster memory. If you're still on a budget, consider upgrading to a board like the B550 or B650 series for improved compatibility and future-proofing.

It doesn’t really improve performance with motherboards. None of this configuration stands out as a major limitation.

Unlikely to be ideal unless you're extremely fortunate with the 5600X. Setting a 2000MHz FCLK is tough—only a tiny fraction of CPUs can handle it. This means either you're using an out-of-sync FCLK, which harms performance, you're hitting the ECC and losing speed, or XMP is turned off, causing subpar results. Stick to the XMP settings you have and lower the frequency to 3800MT/s, manually adjusting the FCLK to 1900MHz. Few CPUs can do this without noticeable drops, but it should get you close to optimal performance.
