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

Nice CPU for its price, I would definitely recommend it

Technicians at MicroCenter tried to install the part on my computer and told me I bought a defective part!

6c 12t CPU. Can be overclocked to 4.2ghz all core. Even tho this CPU has a first gen name being Ryzen 5 1600. This is a second gen CPU. This is 12nm not 14nm as the first gen CPUs are. This CPU is well worth it. It is a second gen refresh of AMDs popular first gen CPU. This CPU performs similar with the 2600 series since it is pretty much the same CPU. I will be getting more of these for my upcoming builds.

The prices are a little high these days. If you can buy for under 100 then go ahead. This little processor is quite popular with the youtube crowd. AF has become a hot commodity.

First off this is a 12 nm cpu, not the old 14 nm part. The efficiency and performance are almost identical to the Ryzen 5 2600 minus an ever so slight clock speed reduction. That being said, all Ryzen cpus are unlocked so you can easily overclock it to be the same or better even with the stock cooler included. For $85 you cant beat the performance of this chip. Granted this is still a mid tier chip and performs as such. Dont expect to pair it with a RTX 2080 ti and be equal to a $500 + 9900ks (keep spending lol) cpu. The 1600 AF is perfect to be paired with a used RX 580 or GTX 1060 and have a cheap but decent performing system that you can upgrade in the future when you are ready. I personally am using this for my sff (small form factor) build and am extremely happy with the results.

Great processor for the money! Got it to run a mining rig and it’s out performing my GPU! Really happy with it!

Found this processor off a PC build video. Works exactly as well as I had hoped and more. Would definitely buy again. (as long as something better and cheaper wasnt available ;))

Great CPU, I use it at work. Although they lost my first one that I ordered for $85 so I had to pay that $110 premium which wasn’t fair. But other than that it functions as a 2xxx series chip, if not a bit better.

I got this processor for a budget build, and it worked great.

This CPU is great for gaming video editing and streaming.
