I was wondering if a msi b450 tomhawk would look good with a ryzen 3700x and viper steel 3733 mhz ram. 
I read several opinions on the net, I don't think I can do OC but at most to have the maximum CPU performance in automatic mode 
(like "maximum performance "in the management of energy savings on win 10, so as to bring the CPU into play at maximum without any OC)
and bring the ram from the bios to their maximum via xmp (3733mhz). 
Is it possible to have this without problems with the msi b450 tomahawk? thanks a lot.

how did you manage to format your post like that? gotta scroll to read it

 

but yes the 3700X goes in the tomahawk just fine

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Dont expect to just apply XMP and run it. It might do it, but expect need for manual intervention

You are right, the new CPUs max out the clocks on the boost so not much point on trying it manually.

Indeed there was some people complaining on the Tomahawk model with the new CPUs, but probably thats fixed by now.

Another board you might want to check it out would be the B450 Steel Legend.
