I built my first AMD computer bc I was growing tired of Intel's prices and locked processors. I got this 1600 bc it is 6 core and runs 12 threads. It will handle anything you throw at it and for a great price!!! Domt even bother getting the "x" version as all of the processors are unlocked so they can all obtain higher clock speeds via the mobo settings. I put the processor in my rig with 32gb of RAM, an ASUS B350 Prime mobo and dual R9 380 graphics cards in Crossfire. I play all games on Ultra settings with AA on...usually at 4x and I pull 60fps at 1080 all day. I can get higher fps but my TV is only 60hz so I capped it. I highly recommend this processor for gaming!!!

I haven't had a chance to really enjoy it nor focus on its abilities.. but its working ok.. I have more pressing lingering issues from install surrounding inabilities of uefi bios locating cd /dvd rom.. I haven't had a chance to push the chip nor cool the chip more that i would like to do.. but it seems stable and the multi-threading capabilities is evident in its stability, ease of operation with multiple windows open without any memory thrashing.. that's quite obvious. Feel free to send later chips in this line for a thorough review..

These things are easy to install just like every other processor. The best part is the performance to dollar ratio. Perfect for everything from light gaming to photo manipulation. It gets the work done fast and the included cooler will handle a moderately over clocked processor with ease. I always liked AMD and now that they are becoming competitive again the have become the smart choice as well.

Powerful CPU that offers a great value. Easily out performs the FX based processor series for any work load. Boost clock defaulted to 3.7ghz @ 1.45v, I dropped voltage to 1.375 and kept the boost clock. System is stable. The packaged cooler is more than enough to handle this chip with overclocks on load. I feel no need in replacing the stock thermal paste either Highly recommended this chip in a system build for anyone wanting to do more than surf the internet. (My standard use is for gaming, video encoding and college level programming)

Overclocks easy to 3.7 with no change to voltage. Incredibly fast, and gives very stable framerates in games. This and the Ryzen 1700 are the best cpus you can buy for the money today, but I'd still choose this since they both have the same amount of L3 cache.

With Six cores and Twelve threads this CPU tears through multiple workloads simultaneously like a Boss. You can game with buttery smooth frame rates, while you stream high quality, ultra smooth video to your viewers. You can encode a video while you play three more and browse the web! Anything you can imagine is possible with this chip. There's simply nothing it can't handle. Whether you use AMD's own stock cooler, for that cool Ryzen look, or an inexpensive aftermarket cooler, that let's you overclock to your heart's content; there is no denying the incredible performance and value of this CPU!

The item arrived at perfect conditions work 100%for more information of the performance of the CPU I will recommend search on YouTube I upgraded from a I5 6600k now I am able to multitask better while playing games multitasking is my primary concern why I upgraded and the CPUs deliver that type of performance that I really need it

AMD Ryzen processors have a reputation for gaming and this one doesn't let you down. You can buy better and you can buy worse, but for this price, this is probably the best processor for your money right now.

I purchased this unit for a game machine that I built with the kids, so they could learn how computers are constructed. It was trivial to install; you just have to be careful not to muck up the thermal paste and to get the pins oriented correctly. I haven't had a whole lot of time on the computer, but I installed the OS (Windows 10), and it was lightning-fast for a Windows install. The kids have no complaints about the machine so far, so I'm happy.

Coming from an fx-6300 to the ryzen 5 1600 is amazing. My games even run sooo much better on my gtx-1060 6gb as opposed to the fx chip. I would highly recommend this. Easy to overclock in bios (got it to 3.7 ghz easily don’t really feel like I need to push it more but it can) and heatsink is more than adequate. Plus it just looks cool. Wish it came with the RGB fan but whatever.
