Q: What is the base clock frequency of the processor?
A: The CPU base clock frequency is 3.3 gigahertz.
Q: Will this processor work on MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk MAX WIFI motherboard which only has AM4 Socket?
A: Sorry, I can't say that I 've any experience with that particular MB/chipset. But if it's got a am4 socket about all it may (or may not need: bios and or firmware update (s). My advice: check with MSI;AMD before you purchase.
A: I undervolt mine to keep cooler at stock. Im sure it will overclock similar to 5950x's out there

Best Zen3 Upgrade of the AM4 CPUs
The AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT 16-core 32-thread 3.3/4.8 Ghz AM4 CPU is the best Zen 3 CPU for the am4 CPUs available at BestBuy. I have an AM4 motherboard with Windows Pro assigned to it so I don't want to upgrade to AM5 just yet, so this CPU saved me $3000-$4000 on making a budget AM5 pc. This CPU replaced my AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT, 12-Core 24 Thread Zen2 AM4 CPU, I don't remember the rest of the specs, it was a bottleneck in my PC build so this was the last piece of my upgrade.

Best AM4 chip out there.
This is an amazing value, got it for my brother, and makes me wanna get one myself. This is a full 16 core processor. Rivals the 5700x3d in gaming, if tuned right.
