Review on AMD Ryzen 5 1600 AM4 Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler (YD1600BBAFBOX) - 65W Energy Efficiency by Micha Grt ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

For my money, an excellent processor, with a boxed cooler almost does not heat up, it works for me in tandem with a GTX 1060 at 6GB, it shows itself perfectly in games. When you try to overclock the memory over 3000MHz, the motherboard does not start (resets the settings to default), there were videos on YouTube, and I also read articles from which it follows that overclocking the memory to 3200MHz seems to be impossible on this stone, because. 4 cores are distributed on 2 crystals, but younger processors like 1400 ryzen with the same memory strips freely take 3200MHz, because. they are implemented on 1 crystal, it is strange that at the same time with 1600 ryzen (it is on several crystals), the memory runs quite normally up to 3200MHz. In general, keep this in mind when buying, maybe your memory will take 3200MHz on it, but my Corsair 2666MHz took a maximum of 3000MHz. Yes, and for those who do not want to overclock the memory with a frequency of 2666MHz, it is quite enough, after playing around with overclocking the memory, in the end I returned everything to the default settings and set the XMP profile to 2666MHz, and I am satisfied with the performance.

Pros
  • Price/performance, 16MB L3 cache, cool, quiet boxed cooler, multithreading
Cons
  • There are features of overclocking RAM with it (read the comment below)
