AMD Ryzen 5 1600

Advantages: Well .. its main advantage is multicore / multithreading. The performance is noticeably different from the old near-top desktop processor in 2010!)) The processor (R5 1600) is not hot (65W heat dissipation). Average temperature: Internet, video, office software - 42-46 C. Under high load 53-57 C, with a standard cooler. Delighted with the boxed cooler !!! Quiet and productive!

Disadvantages: The processor was sold at a price of 14,700 rubles. Although the officially recommended selling price is 13,200 ($ 220).

Comment: Last year I made a decision that I would update my computer. Intel considered it. AMD offered nothing new in the desktop segment. It's 2017 ... detailed information about Ryzen has appeared, and the processor itself. I decided to take a new platform with an emphasis on multithreading. Decent performance at an affordable price.

Advantages: A full-area heat spreader, classic legs - the pins are still better than pads for processors. Even outwardly it is clear that AMD has not yet lost common sense. Solder under the lid, too, and 6 cores and 12 threads and performance per core.

Disadvantages: Low overclocking, up to 3.9 - 4.0. Prices, especially for memory today, but this no longer applies to the processor. Additional 2 cores were not caught

Comment: Compared to the previous 860K, it is noticeably faster, especially in resource-intensive tasks. FPS also grew, for example in Test Drive - where there was 190 it became 260. The single-thread is somewhere between 4790 and 6700, in the multi-thread all competitors are far behind. The CPU-Z and Cinebench R15 programs begin to underestimate the results for it too, so their readings should not be trusted. For example 860K - at first it showed 353 points in Cinebench R15, after a year it was already 347 and the latest version was "finalized" to 326. They are obviously trying a little, so that it is not noticeable. But persistently and methodically. In general, the percentage is excellent, it still has no competitors, it works faster than it is exhibited everywhere. The screenshots show various versions of CPU-Z after and before their cheating with the results in a single thread, and several tests from Aida showing two - three (!) Times the advantage in some tasks over 6700-7700.

Advantages: The best option in terms of price-quality ratio if you are looking towards AMD, and this will be your first experience of deep overclocking of the CPU and system.

Disadvantages: No

Comment: If you decide to buy this percentage and drive it, be sure to familiarize yourself with this forum https://forums.overclockers.ru/viewtopic.php?t=573656. Since the choice of ram and mother's chipset depends on what you are going to do with it.I bought it at a time when, with the stock bios on the asus prime b350 plus, he was doing wild kotovasiya. Now a year later this is not and everything works like clockwork and there are no raw versions of bios left. The percent itself is remarkable and there were no complaints during his service.

Advantages: The best processor in the segment under 25 thousand rubles. On a boxed cooler, it can withstand overclocking up to 3.8 GHz. In games, it is approximately equal to or better than the i7 7700 (with 3200MHz memory, the processor in Battlefield 1 produces an average frame rate of over 150fps and very stable frame times). The temperatures are just excellent, the processor overclocked to 3600 MHz is colder than the i5 4460. (35 degrees at idle and the maximum temperature that I saw is 58 degrees.) For overclocking, it is enough to buy a motherboard on the B350 chipset, the prices for which are very low (from 4 thousand ). A characteristic feature compared to the i5: stable frame time in games with high fps. i5 at high fps cannot provide stable frame time, so even i5 6600k-7600k owners will feel the difference in the smoothness and responsiveness of the processor in heavy games.

Disadvantages: The AM4 platform is very picky about memory. General recommendation: memory on Samsung chips and preferably B-die. the best option is 2 strips of 8 GB or 2 strips of 16 GB. This ensures that your memory runs at 2933 or higher, squeezing the maximum performance out of the processor. For me personally, the KFA2 HOF 2x8 @ 3600mhz memory (all models of this memory are built on Samsung B-Die chips) worked at 3200 mHz.

Comment: Take the boxed version, the cooler inside is good if the overclocking is no more than 3.8 GHz.

Advantages: Great performance for one dollar Low heat dissipation Solder under the cap

Disadvantages: Occasional memory problems on hynix chips

Comment: Ryzen 5 1600x review. I looked closely at the Ryzen line for a very long time, since in 15 years of working with different hardware of AMD processors I never had, but after the snot under my i7 4770k lost the overclocking stability even on water, I decided to give up Intel. I got a processor for 16k, despite the fact that there is no boxed cooler on it - I bought this particular copy because of the XFR, which boosts the processor on water to 4.1 in the core if necessary, without unnecessary heat. With constant acceleration, heat generation is noticeable even on water. The processor is equipped with a Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240, temperatures (from a real sensor), 33 idle / 57 under stress. Unfortunately, on AGESA 1.0.0.6, Corsair memory modules based on Hynix chips cannot be overclocked above 3066 MHz. Everyone is waiting for the next AGESA, but even without such overclocking, all games work perfectly with performance comparable to the i7 7700k, although AMD is positioning this processor more like an analog of the i5. From myself, I would recommend taking memory on Samsung chips (it runs without problems) + dual-rank, since there is no difference in price, and in games the win will be about 10-15 FPS. In general, I am more than satisfied with the processor, I wish AMD to keep this bar in terms of cost / performance / heat dissipation in the future.

Advantages: - 8 and 12 threads at an affordable price - Unlocked multiplier on all processors - Overclocking on inexpensive (<$ 100) motherboards and boxed cooling systems - Good performance per core - Support for modern protocols and interfaces - Excellent results in new games

Disadvantages: - Compatibility with RAM at the start of sales (AGESA 1.0.0.6 completely fixes this) - Not everything related to games before 2017 is quickly optimized, but colossal work has already been done - Low overclocking potential (but 4 GHz is enough, taking into account the number of cores and streams)

Comment: I have experience with Ryzen 5 (1400, 1500X, 1600X) and Ryzen 7 (1800X) processors. If in order: 1) All Ryzen 5 processors worked with Geil Evo X RAM at the passport frequency of 3200 MHz even with AGESA 1.0.0.4. There were no problems here, and given the normal cost of these dies (~ 4.5tr for 8 GB), it cannot be called inaccessible. 2) All processors were absolutely stable at 4 GHz. The Ryzen 5 1400 ran at 4.1 GHz and the system booted at 4300 MHz. 3) To test the processors, Wraith Spire was enough (BOX cooler from 1500X-1600), the temperatures did not even reach 70g on the most serious loads 4) For testing, we used GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 Ti video cards, with them all processors showed decent results in FHD and higher resolutions. Work continues on the processor line, and with each BIOS it feels like you're using a different system. For those who are tormented by choices - Ryzen 5 1600 must-haves!

Advantages: 1600x (1600 is also good, their prices are sometimes the same), Processor for the people. Price quality performance. Best value in years.

Disadvantages: Yes, they are, but considering the price, they are not a disadvantage, it's just a fact. Need high frequency memory. Need additional settings to tweak the frequency of the processor / memory. This is 2 minutes for someone who knows, who doesn't know a little longer.

Comment: For your money, the best performance both in games and in everyday tasks, so that your computer does not become obsolete, a good choice for many years.

Advantages: - Price - Overall performance - Good quiet stock cooler included

Disadvantages: To unleash the potential of the chip, you need to spend time searching for the desired memory and settings in the BIOS. With Intel in this regard, it's easier - you install and work.

Comment: I switched to it from the Phenom 9550, there are 4 cores at 2200Hz, there are 6 cores at 3200Hz. Oriented primarily as a workstation. It felt like I finally breathed a deep breath of clean air after a long walk in a gas mask. Nothing slows down, it works smoothly, quickly, clearly, smoothly, folders open faster than I click on them. Indexing files five times faster, processing in Photoshop in half a second, where it used to take 7 seconds. Video stream, copying, processing, browser - all this works at the same time and does not slow down, and the core margin remains. It became very unusual and pleasant to work at the computer. I can safely recommend it, so far I have not identified any shortcomings.

Advantages: 1) The percent is very cold. It is cooled by an excellent standard cooler, which allows you to do a little overclocking. 2) 6 cores 12 threads. What else is needed? The universal percentage is suitable for work and for games. Also, the background will allow you to start discord and chrome, etc. without affecting the gameplay. 3) Set it and forget it. I don't know why people say that you need to experience some troubles with him. They were before, when there were raw bios. Now I pressed a couple of buttons in the BIOS and use it calmly.

Disadvantages: 1) Alas and oh, we can't get 4 GHz! I thought I would take at least 4.5 GHz. 2) At the very beginning there were problems with memory problems. I didn't take 3200 and only 2800 worked. The memory was Hynix. There are no problems with the new bios.

Comment: I bought 1600 at the start of sales. Seeing how his older brother was leading, I wanted to buy this stone. There were no new Intel products at that time, and the choice was obvious. It is completely enough for me in games and work tasks. I am completely satisfied with my choice and do not regret it.

Advantages: Power, multi-thread potential, very cold, relatively low price.

Disadvantages: Binding to high-frequency, and therefore expensive RAM.

Comment: An excellent processor, especially when you change over to it after an old Quad 9550, the feeling that after a Lada you bought a Ferrari :) I personally have a 1600 processor without the X index, so it easily took the frequency of 3.8 GHz, with a voltage of 1.25. In addition, the stone is not at all hot, after an hour of stress in Hades, at a frequency of 3.8, the temperature ceiling did not exceed 64 °. In Windows 10, I did not see any problems and freezes, everything just flies. The key to this is the installation of one of the latest builds of Windows and be sure to Ryzen balanced. In games paired with a GTX 1070, everything is just super, all modern games run quietly at ultras with a huge fremrate, some even go to 2k and uhd very much!) In general, I am very pleased with the purchase and can only recommend this processor, you will be happy with this decision as I!))
