AMD Ryzen 5 1600 65W AM4 Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler (YD1600BBAFBOX)

I have purchased this product about a year ago for my very first gaming pc build. This CPU is definitely a good product for people who are just getting into computers. I highly recommend it for people who are on a tight budget or simply cant afford a high-end CPU.

It’s a 6 core 12 thread processor on the super cheap. Mine over locked very well and undervolted even better. You wanna game in a budget? Buy this processor and enjoy.

they sent me one that didnt even work!

It’s good

I wanted to write this review after I installed it on a new build an got it all going. Anyway this cpu is amazing for the price. It is fast and runs cool, I got mine to 4ghz np on stock voltage I am running it on water tho, as I had an extra aio and Id rather not use a fan anyway but this lil thing is the best value for money you not will find a better deal

It worked well

Mine is running Prime95 stable at 4.15GHz @ 1.35V on a 212 Evo. In a NZXT 510 with two 140mm added to the front, the temps never exceed 77C in a 22C room during extended torture tests.

Arrived early, and works fine. You should know that this processor doesnt support motherboard graphics. Youll need a separate video card. Gamers use video cards anyway, so no big deal. On a work computer, not requiring major graphics, it would normally use the video output off the motherboard.

I bought when the price was 85$. Highly recommended. Best bang for the buck.

First off this is a 12 nm cpu, not the old 14 nm part. The efficiency and performance are almost identical to the Ryzen 5 2600 minus an ever so slight clock speed reduction. That being said, all Ryzen cpus are unlocked so you can easily overclock it to be the same or better even with the stock cooler included. For $85 you cant beat the performance of this chip. Granted this is still a mid tier chip and performs as such. Dont expect to pair it with a RTX 2080 ti and be equal to a $500 + 9900ks (keep spending lol) cpu. The 1600 AF is perfect to be paired with a used RX 580 or GTX 1060 and have a cheap but decent performing system that you can upgrade in the future when you are ready. I personally am using this for my sff (small form factor) build and am extremely happy with the results.
