cpu Could i get some help making the most out of the PC i built

[Lord_Beerus]

so i built a ryzen with my own hands, its the first computer i built and i would like some help tuning it up getting the most of it and learning some more from the pros, so its a B450 pro carbon ac with a RX590 radeon gigabyte Gpu and a ryzen 2600x Cpu 650 eva power 500 ssd mvme the new one that clicks into mother board and some ram 16 gb not 100% sure the type or speed but i could find out. Im wondering did i make a bottleneck i was going for something i could upgrade in some years and a good gaming maybe streaming computer. Will i be able to go to ryzen 3rd gen with this ? i never updated my bios when i got the Mobo should i do that? could i get some help if so? and the cooler is the stock one that comes with the 2600x it runs hot sometimes some gaming sessions and would like advice on how to underclock to avoid overheating for now but i also wana learn how to be able to push it to the limit and the best way todo so because it has a bunch of software that auto OC and stuff like boost mode and such things anyways looking forward to your advice and help :)

its in a huge coolermaster case that doedsnt seem to have much air flow. 3 fans that i cant control due to how theyre setup intake fans built into the case, they spin and light up but idk the rpms and i can hardly feel the air being sucked and then a rear fan i can control but doesn't have much uhphh, i feel like because of how wide the case is its not pulling air in and out like it should but i dont know much about fans really. i do plan on replacing my CPU fan and maybe adding a extra case fan if possible? or water cooling if thats the best route

1. Yes your motherboard does support the 3rd GEN AMD CPUs.
2. With your CPU overheating with the stock cooler is strange since it should suffice. You should check if you installed and removed any plastic covers during installation. And could use the temp to help if your CPU is overheating. Just install CPU-Z or HardwareMonitor and it should give you the temps.
3. Updating your BIOS could be difficult. But if I remember correct MSI got a BIOS updating software you should if a BIOS update guide on their website.

thanks for the reply, the temps go into the 70s sometimes but usually around 60s when gpu is at full load and cpu around 40% gaming, idk if its that much of a problem but i installed it properly and removed the plastic. i just notice it sometimes gets the case hot to the touch. i have msi software that gives me the temps and the hardware monitor matches the temps on it. would updating the bios help my computer at all? or would it just help me prepare for my update to ryzen 3 eventually?

1. Updating the BIOS could help with performance but mostly it's a security and compatibility update.
2. If you CPU temperature are under 90*C you should be fine my i7 runs about 50*C on water cooling. Note that I got the GPU on the same cooling loop, so the temp could be a little off.

You should check what version you got installed before trying the update. Just press F2 or delete when booting up. Then you should enter the BIOS, then look for the BIOS version.
