AMD Ryzen 5 1600X Processor

This product is value for money and vry good for budget gamers.. performance is good cpu utilization is just 30-40% in gaming and recording..bt temp ll lil high conpair to other 65w cpu's coz its 95w..if u can manage its amazing one

Still didn't benchmark it. But it is running very smooth at all times. Delivery was quicker than expected. Product is good.

Price is high but the performance it delivers is above expectation. Bye Bye Intel, your dictatorship is over now!

Best processor compared to a i5-K line of intel in terms of better value and future proofing to some extent. here is my detail pros and cons, Pros: 1. As per AMD, X-CPUs are designed to take higher voltage to achieve higher clock speed. I am currently running this processor and achieved 4.0 Ghz in all cores till date. However achieving 4.0 Ghz need high amount of voltage 1.425~1.45 (vcore). Since it does not come with a cooler so you have to buy a high performance water/air cooler to really push this processor to it's max limits. However I would suggest you to by an AIO (water) and I am using Corsair H80i V2. 2. It totally burns a i7-7700k in multi-threaded workload by a big margin because of its total 12T/6C architecture. However i7-7700K when overclocked, is faster in single threaded performance. Now if you are a gamer, then you need faster single core performance where i7 will shine but i7 as we all know is very high priced and you have to buy a Z series costly mobo to achieve that. So it is better. however it seems games have started to take advantage of more than 4 cores now a days. Watch Dogs 2 even 100% utilize a 7700k but in my system it hardly uses 60% of this processor! WOW! 3. It offers similar single core performance compared to 1800x as in both of this processors the XFR boost clocks are designed similarly and max boost is 4.1Ghz: single core, 4.0Ghz Max: dual core, 3.7Ghz in all cores. but don't get scared to see core voltage is touching 1.51~1.52v max. this is only because to achieve 4.1 boost clock and normal. But if you have plan to overclock this XFR makes no seance. 4. I have bench marked this cpu up to 4.0 and achieved outstanding results. I will post some screenshot and so far I have achieved 1349 (Edit: not 1323, found that my posted 4GHz results of Cinabench is not very consistent. At 4GHz I am getting approx 1349 with 3066Mhz RAM) in CB R15 even beating some 12C Xeons. 5. Outstanding value and future proofing compared to Intel. In this price point you can get latest i5-7600k but don't do it because it is almost 2x faster than a i5 in multi threaded workload. Cons: 1. My suggesting, BUY A 1600 INSTEAD OF A 1600X WITH EYES CLOSED. A 1600 is much cheaper and it has a Wraith Spire cooler with it that can be used to OC 1600 up to 3.8Ghz which is unbelievable. Yes you can pare a better cooler in future to expand its limit. Now why 1600? first of all it is cheaper and it will provide similar level of performance, it is 65TDP processor having a lower operating voltage compared to 1600x so generates less heat. Verdict: Don't buy this processor and get a R5-1600, overclock this cpu to 3.8 Ghz easily with the stock cooler and use it for two years and if you need buy a better cooler and overclock it to 3.9 Ghz. Now a 1600 will achieve 3.9 effortlessly and believe me there is very minor performance gain from 3.9 (1600) vs 4.0 (1600x). Still have any doubt then check out some latest reviews and you will understand. If you are not going to overclock it then a 1600x is better than 1600 but price will be much higher for 1600x+performance cooler than 1600 with added box cooler. If you have any doubt then post a comment and I will get back to you soon. So far it seems AMD has designed this CPU to collect more amount of money and increase profit. I have not seen some solid evidence or experienced in my CPU something special than a 1600 that could justify the hefty price margin. Overclocking tips: For P-state overclocking this processor reduces its frequency when under idle condition. however if you apply normal overclock it will stay at its max frequency all the time. Don't freak out it is normal for Ryzen and it is as per their SenseMI technology where the CPU intelligently reduces its power to draw less energy even maintaining it's max frequency. When you type a multiplier in bios for overclock AMD disables the option of minimum frequency in windows power plan. I have applied p-state overclock and found the difference is very minimal compared to normal overclock by typing fixed multiplier. Now always use a offset core volt to achieve overclock and not a fixed voltage. It eventually increase the CPU life. Thanks for reading.

Nice gpu for gaming.

Great processors! 1209CB on cinebench R15 stock settings 1280+ with 3870mhz OC!. Amd precision boost will boost it upto 4.0ghz on 2 cores depending on thermals. Graphics card is a must! Otherwise pc won't post. Tho all b350 / X370 chipset boards have HDMI out , but that's for older am4 socket processors. Make sure you get proper RAM , my Lpx vengence 3000mhz won't run higher than 2133mz , so check compatibility. These X models have offset of 20°c for keeping it cooler under loads during higher frequencies. Ryzen master will show actual temps which is around 34-40°c around idle and 65°c during load. Make sure you get a am4 bracket cooler as you won't be getting cooler with x processors . Go with aio liquid coolers, instead of air coolers.

AMD processors​ overheating is just a myth from 20 years ago when AMD was not supplying processor fans. Some people used without processor fan and had heating issue. A lot has changed since then, and AMD processors run as cool as intel. Please note the process TDP wattage while buying. Whether Intel or AMD, both get hot. Higher the TDP, more heat the processor will produce. You just need proper cooling heatsink and fan for it. The new Ryzen processors are on par or even better than intel, but priced lesser.

The old amd athlon era is back this is the best chip for gammers plus this beast can out perform the i7 7700 on multi tasking and no intel 6 core chip come close to it price and performance wise this chip is a beast in rendering, encoding 3d modelling those who complain about this Amd Ryzen chip are naive. If you are planning for a rig and want to make it future proof than buy it closing your eyes

Forse è uno dei migliori processori che è entrato a far parte del mercato dal 2017 a oggi. È un 6 core - 12 thread, molto bilanciato, supporta RAM ddr4 fino a 3200mhz, qualcuno potrebbe dire che AMD non sia all'altezza di Intel per quanto riguarda il gaming, mi dispiace, ma da quando sono usciti questi processori non è più così. AMD ha fatto un ottimo lavoro sfornando la serie Ryzen, questa nuova serie di processori è più potente della precedente serie FX di oltre il 50%, consuma meno ed ha caratteristiche davvero innovative. Basti pensare che un FX 9590 8c / 8t viene surclassato da un Ryzen 3 1200 4c / 4t di fascia bassa . Questi processori hanno un ottimo prezzo e ottime prestazioni, Intel è dovuta correre ai ripari dopo anni di piccoli refresh per non perdere fette di mercato. Nel 2018 sono usciti i nuovi Ryzen 2 (Zen+), che sono un affinamento dei "vecchi" Ryzen, con frequenze più alte, processo produttivo 14> 12 e un ipc migliorato del 10-15% e prezzi sempre concorrenziali. I modelli con la "X" della serie 1*** non hanno il dissipatore incluso, la nuova serie 2*** sì, quindi state attenti. La piattaforma AM4 su cui girano questi processori verrà supportata a detta di AMD fino almeno al 2020, ed anche i prossimi Ryzen 3 (Zen 2) gireranno su questa piattaforma. Che dire, finalmente un ottima e valida alternativa ad Intel.

So I ordered this with a compatible AM4 socket motherboard, 2666mhz DDR4 ram (after reading online that the Ryzen 1000/2000 series have some issues with higher clock speed ram). Installing with the AM4 sockets is a piece of cake, there's a small triangle on the processor and on the socket in the motherboard, orientate them the same way, line up the pins with the holes and pull the clip down. Pea sized amount of thermal paste and fit your CPU cooler. Upon installing the first CPU i was getting weird freezes just after, during or before the windows 10 welcome screen. No blue screen message just the PC would freeze, I replaced every other component and still had crashes it was the processor. Amazon sent a replacement the next day and that has been working a dream, i had to upgrade my computer to run apex legends and this processor handles games with ease. CPUs with all the pins straight being faulty is incredibly rare, 0.001% territory but just a heads up if you get as unlucky as me, the freezing during different stages of boot and no blue screen may be the processor at fault like I had. NOTES IF YOU ARE GETTING THIS PROCESSOR; AMD Ryzen 1600x and other x processors do not come with stock coolers, you will need an AM4 socket compatible stock cooler to fit on installation. If you aren't getting an AM4 socket motherboard with XMP ability do not get DDR4 RAM with a clock speed higher than 2666mhz. This processor is a beast for the money and tackles any modern game with ease, the Ryzen master drivers allow you to overclock and tweak the processors performance with ease. Despite getting a faulty processor originally, I still can't recommend the processor enough. The sellers professionalism with replacing the faulty part instantly, crap happens sometimes and I feel like I just got unlucky.

Compré este procesador Ryzen 5 1600X para actualizar un equipo con un Intel i7-920 que ya tenia sus años. El desempeño se incrementó 3.5 veces, la verdad no esperaba tanto, y la relación costo/desempeño contra otros procesadores de Intel es inmejorable.

Ich habe den AMD Ryzen 5 1600X Prozessor und bin wirklich begeistert von seiner Leistung. Mit 6 Kernen und 12 Threads bietet er eine hervorragende Multitasking-Fähigkeit, die sowohl beim Gaming als auch bei produktiven Anwendungen spürbar ist. Die Temperaturen bleiben auch unter Last angenehm niedrig, was ihn zu einer guten Wahl für meinen Kühler gemacht hat. Außerdem lässt er sich leicht übertakten, wenn man die Leistung noch weiter steigern möchte. Insgesamt bietet der Ryzen 5 1600X ein tolles Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und ist eine hervorragende Wahl für Gamer und kreative Profis. Ich kann ihn nur wärmstens empfehlen!

AMDの新シリーズRYZEN 当時はIntelにシェア90％以上を取られていたAMDが出した逆転の一手 シングルコアではIntelにかなわないものの、多コアや低価格化で一線を画すコストパフォーマンスを見せた。 ゲーム用途では微妙にかなわないが、他クリエイティブ用途などではコスパの良さが光った。(ソフトによっては複数のコアに対応していないなどの問題もあり結構差があった) ここらへんから一般ユーザー向けCPUの多コア化が始まったように思う。 またここ数年CPU競争がほぼなかったので一般ユーザーからすると低価格化や性能向上の面で競争があるのはありがたい。 新たな時代の幕開け。
