Question in the title basically.

My PC spec
Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Mid Tower Case - Black
MSI B450 TOMAHAWK AMD Socket AM4 Motherboard
AMD Ryzen 5 2600X 3.6GHz Hexa Core (Socket AM4)
16GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB 14 CAS 3200MHz DDR4
MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti GAMING 8GB Graphics Card
Crucial MX500 500GB 2.5" SATA III SSD
Seagate BarraCuda 2TB SATA III 3.5" Hard Drive
Corsair RM650x 650W Modular 80+ Gold PSU
2x Arctic F12 PWM 120mm Case Fan

I will not be overclocking anything manually, im a total noob for now. I would like to enable XMP though to boost my RAM and CPU a little. Im concerned about temps getting too high though as i do not have any high end cooling. Just 4 cheap case fans and 2600x stock cooler. Ive heard its decent but will the stock cooler be enough to do this? If there is a risk that it wont then could anyone suggest a suitable cooler that wont break the bank, my budget is stretched.
 
Solution
No thas the thing based on cooling capability and power delivery XFR will boost your CPU to its highest speeds whenever possible. you will be fine as the included cooler is fully capable of running at stock speeds. always make sure your case as a balanced intake/exhaust system

Im going to use an MSi B450 Tomahawk, i saw mention that they have issues with OC stuff like XMP, XFR and Precision Boost. Do you think ill have any problems. I wont be manually overclocking or anything. I plan to just let Ryzen do Ryzen. I dont want my system to be super hot though. Im a total noob so sorry if the questions seem a bit weird.
