AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 3.6GHz 19MB Cache AM4 Socket (YD1600BBAEBOX)

Just upgraded to ryzen from previous fx series. Although it is from 1st generation but better than fx at least. Of course 2nd & 3rd generation ryzens are more efficient/powerful. However, it can be overclocked to 3.7ghz easily with a B450 motherboard, fast RAM and stock cooler, to get similar performance. Besides, this would be the cheapest 6 core 12 thread processor. When compared with price to performance (comparing to other ryzen processors from 1st generation) it is should be a logical choice. Go for it only if you already have or willing to buy a dedicated graphics card. Without a dedicated GPU your pc wont boot to display screen. If a dedicated graphics card is not in the list then opt for 2200g, 3200g, 2400g etc......... Update: No lag at all. No bottlenecks when gaming. Using a coolermaster hyper 212 instead of stock cooler. Now I can overclock even further (that doesnt mean stock cooler isnt efficient). Stock wraith cooler is great but I like to overclock and test the limits of this CPU. Hence using an aftermarket cooler. Temperature doesnt climb beyond 65 degrees when put under heavy load. Overall worth the money and effort.

i bought this CPU in September 2017. Today is 9th April 2018. 7 months of me using it have been nothing but great. First of all, my complete PC specs: AMD Ryzen 5 1600, ASUS Strix B350-f gaming, 2x8GB GskillTrident Z RGB RAM 3000 MHz, Zotac Geforce GTX 1060 6GB, Seasonic M12ii520, Samsung evo 750 250GB SSD, WD Blue 500GB SSD, 3x1TB HDD (WD+Hitachi), Coolermaster masterbox lite 5 RGB I have not yet overclocked the CPU as honestly, I havent felt the need to. If I ever upgrade to a 144 Hz monitor, then I will OC the CPU. For now, I am getting amazing performance for the 75 Hz monitor that I have. I am getting more than 60 FPS average on every game I have played till now. DOOM, GTA V, Witcher 3, Far cry 4, Destiny 2 etc. All settings set to ultra. I keep the nVidia gameworks off though because only those are the settings that kill the FPS and don't result in much better eye candy. My ambient temps are 22 to 28 degrees celsius. My CPU has never gone above 55 degrees celsius while gaming. One reason for that is that this CPU is not being utilized very much by games. And, when I run, e.g. AIDA or prime95, the CPU temps never even touch 65. That on the stock cooler with all cores working at 100%. AMD is NOT HOT guys. Do not let the fools fool you. When I edit a full HD video, I am able to export a one hour long video in half an hour flat. Full HD, not compressed. Resulting video size: ~18GB That is one helluva performance, man.

Really great Processor with 6 Cores 12 Threads & 19MB total Cache, 14nm Architecture & 65W TDP, we can compare this 1st Gen Ryzen from Intel 8th Gen i5 8700, same features. There is not inbuilt graphics so we will have to install a PCI Express Card. Great performance in Gaming, Graphics, Animation & Editing. You can do 4K editing work with this. In mid budget this can a great choice for powerful Desktop.

Most important thing i want to share with you. This processor is best, but it will give you great performance when you built right compatible components together, its not about processor, its about how you built your PC according to your need. Processor works according to your need. I am AMD biggest lover, because it give best specification in budget instead other brand But i am giving reviews after using it, not as lover No heating issue in processor. For multiple task i will recommend this processor. Not only for beginners it is very also useful for professionals.

YUP. Its worth it!! with the prices of the first gen of ryzen processors falling down, this is a great deal. keep in mind from the 1500X to ryzen 1700, gaming performance is the SAME. No difference. the difference comes in video editing and other rendering applications. so if you just want to game and nothing else, start with 1500X and youll save yourself some money. I paired my ryzen with an RX 580. All AMD fanboy here.

I had a Ryzen 2200G which I had paired with my Rx480 4GB Graphics card and it was doing okay but after sometime I realised It was bottlenecking my graphics card's performance on some games and minor in game stutters hither and thither while PUBG PC made me realise that it's time to upgrade my processor. Although It's a first Generation CPU and Ryzen 2200G is a second gen chip, it still was a great upgrade whether it was in Multi-tasking, gaming or streaming. It feels much much better now. I highly recommend it if you are on a budget and need a really powerful processor with multiple cores and threads even now in 2020

I was very skeptical getting this instead of the Intel ones. A lot of friends warned me from buying AMD processors. But after seeing a lot of reviews online I decided to go with the 1600. 2 months down the line and it still works like a charm. Only keep in mind that you will need a dedicated graphics card to run this chip. About the processor, it works smoothly for multi tasking. Pair it with a good graphics card and you can run almost any games with it. Satisfied buy.

I am giving 3 star for value for money, because in offline market it is cheaper. For gaming I haven't tried yet. I'll update later based on gaming performance of this cpu. Apart from that packing and delivery was good. Came before expected delivery date. I am using msi b450 gaming plus matx with this cpu. This cpu don't have any inbuilt graphics. So a GPU is must with this cpu. Otherwise you will not get any display. For me msi b450 gaming plus was given 3beep sound and vga light was on in ez debug. I thought it was motherboard board problem. Then msi service centre told me about the problem. It got fixed after installing a GPU.

Tiene el mejor costo para los equipo de alto desempeño BUENO (comparación realizado en el 5 de octubre del 2017): - Sin Overclock (3.20GHz): está entre los 4% CPU más rápidos del mundo (Percentil 96, con CPU mark de 12643) - Con Overclock1 (3.77GHz, 3.0V): está entre los 2% CPU más rápidos del mundo (Percentil 98, con CPU mark de 13941) - Con Overclock2 (3.85GHz, 3.5V): está entre los 2% CPU más rápidos del mundo (Percentil 98, con CPU mark de 14200) - Trabaja con 12 procesos simultáneos (6 procesadores con 2 nucleos cada) - Bajo consumo de energía: Sin overclock (11W minimo; 73W máximo); Con overclock1 (17W mínimo; 105W máximo); Con Overclock2 (21W mínimo, 130W Máximo) BONITO, está diseñado con todas las tecnologías más modernas: - Soporta memoria DDR4: trae canales especializados para optimizar el acceso a las memorias DDR4 - Soporta almacenamiento SSD NVMe nativo: trae canales especializados en PCIe para lograr máxima velocidad sin afectar el ancho de banda PCIe - Soporta optimización del consumo de energía por cada núcleo - Soporta realización de Overclock (incremeto de velocidad) en todos los modelos de la categoría Ryzen BARATO, comparado con las opciones de la competencia (INTEL): - Por el mismo precio de lo que cuesta un procesador Intel generación 7, tienes un desempeño aproximadamente 40% mejor - Este procesador debe soportar varios años antes de tener que cambiarlo, esto es debido a que su desempeño está entre los 4% más rápidos del mundo (Percentil 94) - Puedes hacer Overclock sin tener que pagar más por una versión "liberada para Overclock" - No necesita comprar disipador para hacer Overclock. Ya viene con un disipador "Wraith Spire" que tiene buen rendimiento y calidad, pero no trae LED para hacerlo lucir más. Si llegas a comprar un disipador "CoolerMaster H212 EVO" solamente mejora la temperatura en 10 Grados Celsis, por lo que se recomienda comprar disipador con refrigeración líquida si vas a invertir en un disipador CONTRAS: - No trae tarjeta de video integrada, por lo que tienes que comprar por separado una tarjeta de video a su gusto - Si tienes presupuesto ilimitado, el procesador Ryzen no es para ti. En su lugar están los procesadores Intel que tienen mejor desempeño por cada núcleo y consumen más energía elétrica para realizar el mismo trabajo. En el mes de octubre de 2017 está entrando en el mercado el procesador Intel generación 8 que requiere un nuveo tipo de zócalo y tiene desempeño entre 30% a 40% mejor que el Intel generación 7 OTROS: - Funciona todas las aplicaciones sin problemas de compatibilidad. Nota: En el primer mes del lanzamiento del procesador Ryzen ocurrió problema de compatibilidad que fue solucionado con actualización en la BIOS de las tarjetas madre - Si ya cuentas con un disipador extra, recomiendo comprar la versión Ryzen 5 1600x (no trae disipador de calor) pero tiene posibilidad de realizar Overclock más alto - La versión Ryzen 5 1600 (6 núcleos) es aproximadamente 30% más rápida que la versión Ryzen 5 1500 (4 núcleos), por lo que si quieres ir por una versión "más barata" están los AMD con el mismo zócalo AM4: AMD generación 7 (Athon y A-series) que tienen tarjeta de video integradas - AMD garantiza un Overclock de mínimo de 3.6 GHz en el Ryzen 5 1600, y se puede lograr un valor mayor dependiendo de la suerte (Lotería del Silicone). Utilizando el disipador que viene con el procesador es bastante común que las personas consigan Overclock de 3.7 GHz. Utilizando disipador con refrigeración líquida, algunas personas logran Overclock arriba del 4.0 GHz - Para realizar Overclock se tiene que utilizar tarjeta madre con zócalo AM4 que tiene Chipset B350 ó X370, esto es debido a que el Chipset A320 no permite Overclock

I originally paid £205 for this on the day it was available on Amazon and wow, it is fast! One of the best desktop computer components I've bought in a while. The Ryzen 5 1600 is rated at 65W TDP, which considering how much processing power is packed into this little beasty, is insanely energy efficient. The lower wattage also means it'll put out less heat than the 1600X. You can of course overclock the 1600 to nearly the same speed as the 1600X with the right cooling setup. As a reference for how good this CPU is at gaming, my new setup is: - This CPU (Ryzen 5 1600) - 16GB G.SKILL DDR4 RAM - XFX Radeon R9 390 8GB GDDR5 - DD Black Edition - Gigabyte GA-AB350 Gaming 3 Motherboard - 650W EVGA Gold-rated PSU Battlefield 1 runs at 60FPS, on ultra, at 1080p and uses between 45 - 55% of this CPU in a 64 player battle. BF1 is a resource heavy game so it makes a great starting point for testing out a new system. GTA V would also do the job nicely. I doubt this CPU will break a sweat if you want higher frame rates! Most other games I've tried so far (Space Engineers, Factorio, Hearthstone, Kerbal Space Program) don't come anywhere close to even 50% usage on this CPU. Factorio, one of the lightest games I've tried so far, takes as little as 1 - 2% of the CPU. But, I didn't buy this CPU for just gaming, I'm also a software developer and I can tell you, my compile times in Visual Studio have been drastically reduced with this CPU. If you're looking for a budget CPU which packs a lot of power while also providing a decent amount of future-proofing, this is the sweet spot! UPDATE: Now that I've had a decent amount of time to do some real work with the CPU, I can say that it is a content-creator's dream. It's ability to multi-task is definitely a major selling point if you're looking for a budget upgrade to your content-creation hardware. Expect nothing less from a 6-core, 12-thread CPU! UPDATE NOV 2017: I've been using this CPU for a good 6 months and it's been an absolute pleasure. Not a single issue. It performs as well as the first day I had it. It's also runs amazingly cool with the provided cooler. With past CPUs I've had to buy a separate third-party cooler to improve temperatures, but I haven't needed to with the Ryzen 1600. I've yet to find anything that can really push it to its limits in day to day use. Probably the best £205 I've ever spent and now its even cheaper!

AMDがIntelの牙城を崩すCPUを発売したと聞いてさっそく購入しました。 これに合わせてケースからグラボまで全て買いなおしました。 待ちに待った電源投入は特に問題なく動作、その後のベンチマークも良好。 定格でも私の用途（FF14、Unity）ではサクサクで快適です。 ただ、ケースのサイドアクリルパネルから中を覗いてみると・・・CPUクーラーが光ってない！ Ryzen 5 1600 と Ryzen 7 1700 のクーラーは冷却性能は同じですが、光るか光らないかの違いがあります。 光物が大好きな私は結局某オークションで Ryzen 7 1700 付属のクーラーを買いました。 （Ryzen 5 1600 のクーラーは変わりに出品しました） これでPC内部も含め満足いくPCが仕上がりました。 もちろん、冷却性能に変わりはないので気にならない方にはどうでもいいお話です。 性能については先ほど申し上げたとおり、私くらいのライトな用途では申し分ありません。 この価格で6コア12スレッドが手に入るなんて本当にいい時代です。 しかしながら、光物が好きな方は気をつけてください。 Ryzen 5 1600 のリテールクーラーは『光りません』。 よいAMDライフを。

Portentoso questo CPU della AMD. Un paio di spanne avanti rispetto la controparte Intel. Ottimo nel multithreading, arranca un pelo nelle chiamate in single. Apre sicuramente le porte ad una nuova forma di pensiero e progettazione di giochi e software non più limitati e basati soltanto sul single threading. 6-core / 12-thread corredati dal dissipatore stock davvero di ottima qualità, bella presenza e non malaccio per prestazioni leggermente potenziate, ovvero un OC delicato non spinto al limite. Niente led nell'anello della ventola del dissipatore come invece presente nei fratelloni a partire dal ryzen 7. Prezzo convenientissimo e come suggeriscono in tanto non vale praticamente la pena investire sulla versione 1600X poichè si perde il dissipatore e una gestione manuale dell'OC. Tenuto stock o con frequenza leggermente maggiorata la CPU non risente minimanete del carico di lavoro nè le temperature salgono in modo preoccupante (E lì è chiaro che dipende dalla ventilazione genrale del case e dal settaggio della ventola del dissi). La rete è piena di dati e paragoni tecnici fra le varie versioni e i concorrenti Intel. ATTENZIONE========= Attualmente il prezzo del 1600 è assolutamente invitante attorno ai 150 / 160 euro (ben meno di quanto l'ho pagato io a dicembre) lo rende un best buy per budget contenuti pur puntando ad una performance di tutto rispetto. Questo perchè è già uscita la seconda serie di Ryzen e tutti attendono l'altrettanto strepitoso Ryzen 5 2600 che poreta in dote un chip grafico integrato derivato dal progetto delle schede video top gamma della AMD. Se siete indecisi aspetterei l'uscita su Amazon del 2600 e valuterei il prezzo. Se siete di fretta e badate al risparmio, volendo certamente investire su una GPU da competizione, beh andrei sul 1600 senza pensieri, portandomi a casa anche un dissipatore di tutto rispetto con ulteriore risparmio di circa 30-35 euro del corrispettivo after market. ATTENZIONE 2 ========== cambiate istantaneamente l'adesivo termico del dissipatore con una pasta termica decente. Una Artic Mx-4 la si trova a 4 - 5 euro, io stavolta ho lasciato l'Artic per una spaventosamente performante Cooler Master. La differenza è sostanziale e di svariati gradi sotto sforzo. Ora come ora a distanza di mesi, lo ricomprerei ad occhi chiusi. Brava AMD! Spero la mia esperienza vi aiuti nella scelta. Buone compere :) RobiDì

Es ist vielleicht kein 8 core 16 thread Monster wie der Ryzen 7 1800x kostet aber auch immerhin nur halb so viel, und für den Preis bekommt man wirklich eine Menge Leistung, sowohl fürs Gaming als auch für normale Office Anwendungen, halt genau das was man von einem 12 Thread CPU erwarten würde, durchgehend top Performance und vor allem beim Multitasking und encoding bzw. decoding lernt man die extra Kerne wirklich zu schätzen. Bloß fürs Gaming ist er vielleicht etwas "Overkill" da reicht wahrscheinlich auch ein Ryzen 3 aber wenn man wie ich nebenbei noch etwas mit Audio, Video, Bildbearbeitung und 3D-Modellierung abreiten möchte, nebenbei auch noch streamen oder aufzeichnen will oder einfach generell viel multitaskt dann liegt man mit dem 1600 defintiv nicht falsch. Klar kann man auch noch mehr ausgeben für den 1600x mit mitunter wesentlich höheren taktungen, aber bei mir wäre damit das Budget gesprengt worden. Die Probleme von denen viele berichtet haben, haben mich bis jetzt nicht betroffen, habe aber auch im Gegensatz zu vielen, welche diese Probleme hatten, die ausdrückliche Anweisung von AMD befolgt Windows komplett frisch neu zu installieren. Vielleicht liegt es also daran. Ich verwende mit diesem Prozessor aktuell das Crosshair VI Hero von Asus und zwei mal 8GB Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 RAM von Curcial. Die Performance ist wie bereits erwähnt bis jetzt top, sowohl in Games als auch fürs Arbeiten, genaue Ziffern und vergleiche hierzu findet man im Netz genug, ich kann für mich selbst nur sagen dass ich den unterschied im vergleich zu meinen zwei alten Systemen mit einmal einem AMD FX-8350 und einmal einem Intel Core i5-750 definitiv spüren kann, womit man auch rechnen konnte bei dem Altersunterschied. Zusammenfassend kann ich den 1600, genau wie den Rest des Ryzen lineups wärmstens empfehlen, wenn nicht wegen dem traumhaften Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis oder der generell guten Performance, dann doch alleine schon deswegen um den Wettbewerb im CPU-Markt zu unterstützen.
