Hi, I live in Finland and B450 motherboards are pretty much out of stock. I have ordered MSI B450 Tomahawk, Ryzen 5 2600x and G.Skill TridentZ RGB 3200mhz ram but they don't have Tomahawk on stock. These are opinions are available on stock:
ASrock B450 Pro4
Asus TUF B450 Plus Gaming
MSI B450-A Pro

I've watched a video where Tomahawk had best Vrm temps and easy bios update button. Asus and Gigabyte were quite bad on Vrm temps. Should I just wait for the Tomahawk or are some of those menetioned above a good replacement for Tomahawk?
 
All Asus B450 boards except that one Mini-ITX model have pretty garbage VRM.
(even X470 TUF has same VRM)

That ASrock has cool staying OK good VRM for budget board.
Because of use of cheap components its efficiency is lowish, but it has quite good heatsink, which isn't sabotaged by marketing BS plastic covers.
(capacitors are also completely unknown, but at least they aren't baked alive by overheating VRM)

MSI B450 Tomahawk again has better efficiency VRM helping to keep its temperature good besides rather good heatsink design.
MSI B450-A Pro uses same VRM design. (with different heatsinks)

So would that MSI board be good or does the heatsinks make such a difference
