I suppose the CPU but it could help to understand which exact disk and which DIMMs (including latencies) you're using.
Bear in mind you can easily drop a 5800 X3D into practically any AM4 system. The large L3 somewhat lowers the significance faster DDR4 with tight timings (though it still doesn't hurt to have that too).
Samsung EVO 840 I think but I could be misremembering, and my RAM runs like 2333 if that makes sense. I think a 5800X3D is definitely in my future
I believe the sweet spot for Matisse and Vermeer (zen 2 and 3 chiplet design CPUs) memory wise is 3600 CL16. Later batches of these CPUs may have better luck with stability at 3800 MT/s (due to process maturity) but that would be at a point of diminishing returns (especially with the X3D).
You might improve the performance of your current CPU by tuning your memory, but I won't know how far you can get with your kit unless we have the exact model number.
The 1600AF seems to be zen+ based (characteristically similar to the Ryzen 5 2600). For zen+, something like 3200 MT/s CL14 would be optimal if you can achieve it, 3200 CL16 would be good too.
