I'd wait a few more days for the 9800X3D, couldn't hurt plus it's an improvement over the 7800X3D and the price is similar from what I've read so why pay the same for an inferior product? As for the GPU it depends on what you have now but between the 4070S and 7900 GRE I'd go Nvidia. If you...

Was it on Power Saver? Anyways I'm glad you found a solution.

Is it not getting to the 4.8-5ghz range while gaming or any CPU intensive app?

Interesting...are you running 1 stick at a time? Anyways the speed, timings and voltage is written on them and you can manually set it. I still think it's using multiple sticks that haven't been tested together that might be problematic but that's why I suggested to test 1 at a time.

Yeah, I've seen some that are just iGPU and others that came with the RTX 2060.

Using the same PSU? It's likely barely able to support what the system came with mind the GPU upgrade.

No but options for overclocking would be minimal due to it being a laptop. Either way it would likely have presets such as quiet, gaming, etc that you can choose from. Which settings are you not able to access?

You might want to explain your issue in more detail.

CPU score seems a bit low (usually 15-19K avg), what memory are you using and is PBO enabled?

No reason with your budget to get the 57003XD, the 78003XD is a great gaming CPU and would pair wonderfully with that GPU and monitor.

Max PSU length is 150 mm. https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/pop/pop-mini-air/rgb-black-tg-clear/

The difference between 3600 and 3200 DDR4 on a Intel system would be minimal at the very least. That CPU is rated for 3200 mhz DDR4, I wouldn't bother going higher than that, doing so could likely result in stability issues and the "gains" (if any) are definitely not worth it.

Even though they're the same part number there's no guarantee they'll work together, I'd try one at a time and enable XMP in the BIOS (should get the correct speed, timings and voltage). For that CPU 3200 mhz is fine, no need for 3600 mhz.

The part number you listed is just a 1x8gb stick, are you using 4 sticks that you separately bought?

Your temp and CPU speed while you did the screenshot is fine, not even close to overheating and that's with the CPU boosted to 4.3 ghz. Is it actually overheating while gaming or any CPU intensive task?
