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

Ryzen 5 1600AF is actually a 2600 in disguise (only a slight variation in performance due to difference in memory controllers and base clock speed). Overclocked to 4GHz using stock cooler and paired with ASRock B450M-PRO4. If you are looking for budget Ryzen system with discrete GPU, this is the best you can get.

I bought this solely to use in a Plex Server for home and occasional streaming away from home. It meets all the criteria:

amazing product no doubts about it

If your on a budget ant this processor is at 85 dollars if you pass on picking it up for a build your a fool!

Good

Got this for $85. You can’t get much better as a beginner cpu and it’s great.

this is far more effective than i expected, 6 cores for %80+ USD is very generous

The CPU is the deal of the century. 6 cores and 12 threads. Reasonable base clocks and very reasonable boost clocks. Plays AAA games at 1440p with ease (with the right video card). 65w part saves on power... Runs cool. I paired this thing with an inexpensive all-in-one liquid cooler idle temps are 20 or 21 c... Load temps have not broken 50 yet. For less than a c-note its hard to beat. Unless you specifically need more CPU horsepower and honestly you probably dont, this is a very good CPU.

Ease of installation. I did not, at first, understand how the heatsink module actually fastened to the

I set it up for my gaming pc and its really good.
