I tried only one game for now, Cronos The New Dawn at native 1440P and setting at the highest and ray tracing off, it gave me an average of 48 to 52 fps
I just found out my ram is rated 5600 max, so I will enable that later when I get homeThe paradox in your build would be the ram's transfer speeds. The sweet spot for AMD's AM5 platform is DDR5-6000MHz or DDR5-6000MT/s, so you've left performance on the table.
The 7600x is supposed to paired with a comparable GPU and grant you 1440p gaming.
On second thoughts, you should list your specs to the build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.
Clearly Op just needed to enable EXPO (or XMP, some BIOS have that instead) in the BIOS to get ram to right speed.
I not sure he notice a major difference, but it also depends on the latency settings of the sticks. He might get some speed out of it

I did.
mobo is b650m asrock
ASRock is the brand of the motherboard, B650 is the chipset for the board while the M designates an matx form factor. Since ASRock have a number of B650 chipsetted matx motherboard's in their portfolio, what is the model for your motherboard? That being said, what BIOS version are you currently on? You can pass on a screenshot of CPU-Z's mainboard tab.
Is your iGPU enabled in BIOS?
Yes, these questions are relevant, just as the ram's info helped you realize you had performance on the table.
PRIME A620-PLUS WIFI
I wish you had a better quality motherboard. The one you currently have is considered bottom of the barrel due to the lackluster VRM design. I say lackluster since Asus seem to have made it their objective to not specify the VRM layout, nor have pictures to clearly illustrate the VRM area. To me that's a tactic to conceal.
As for the BIOS,
BIOS is ver 0213 (DATE 5/17/2023)
That's first release, you have many BIOS versions pending update. I presume, the latter BIOS versions would likely grant you a little more performance out of your platform, outside of security vulnerability issues being plugged. I would advise that you make sure you're on the latest chipset driver for your motherboard then flash the BIOS to the latest version.PRIME A620-PLUS WIFI|Motherboards|ASUS Global
PRIME A620-PLUS WIFI is equipped with excellent features, including 6-layer PCB design, DDR5, PCIe 4.0 Graphics card and dual M.2 support, SATA 6 Gbps, Rear & Front USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C®, DisplayPort/HDMIâ¢, Addressable Gen 2 headers, Aura Sync, Q-LED Core, Fan Xpert 2+, Power Saving, Two-Way...www.asus.com
If your iGPU is enabled, disabling it should help allocate a little more ram to your entire platform. You would need to run DDU and remove all GPU drivers(intel, AMD and Nvidia) then manually install the latest GPU driver sourced from Nvidia's support site.
You would see more performance if you were on a DDR5-6000MHz/DDR5-6000MT/s or DDR5-6400MHz/DDR5-6400MT/s with tight latencies, with AMD's E.X.P.O advertised on it's package, dual channel ram kit.
