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

Holy cow. I cannot recommend this enough. Im using this in a small gaming rig. It handles Destiny 2 with plenty of power to spare. I was around 40% CPU usage while gaming. Also handles productivity like a champ. I was able to undervolt it to 1.025v at stock 3.6GHz speed, and overclock to 4.0GHz at only 1.2v.

I know many people tend to want to compare this to x cpu on speed. This thing is fast. But its value is the golden ticket. 6 cores and 12 threads for a mere 85 dollars. Performance to price is outstanding and nothing else matches it. Get this cpu!

I attempted to fit the cooler to the motherboard before giving up because once I finally did get it seated and began to crank the screws it was bending my motherboard. I talked to a computer expert and they told me the fan appeared to be another AMD fan besides the one that should have come with the CPU. I had to purchase a new aftermarket cooler but they refunded me 20$ when I contacted them about this problem immediately. Very good customer service and it works great!

Update, this is now the 2nd one I have bought for a build. They are amazing. Successfully overclocked to 3.95 with memory clock at 1500MHz. Pairee it with a Tomahawk B450 MOBO and oloy ddr4 3200 RAM, overclocked to 3350. I have now had a total of 5 VMs open at one time and this thing just does not care. Buying a third for one more build, but will continue buying these guys.

If you can get this for a decent price(I got it for right about $100) its awesome.

With this being the AF variant of the cpu, its essentially an underclocked 2600. Ive owned this for a little over a year and was able to snag it when it was still $85, it has served me well and will be going in an itx build here soon. To anyone who may be reading right now, I would go for a newer cpu but the value for this is unbeatable

I am happy , I found this from amazon.

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.

Decent specs and great for simple gaming. However, the shipping was cheap and poorly executed. My package arrived beat up and torn, even in the inside.

Great deal on a great cpu.
