I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

In general, a very very good processor turned out compared to the previous generation from AMD FX. Really fast and cold, and most importantly, it works very well and balanced. There are no performance issues at all. If FX worked in an overclocked state often, then this one works quietly at its 3.2Hz without overclocking. In idle mode on a standard cooler it turns out around 35 degrees, in game mode it warms up around 56 degrees.
What is not encouraging is the lack of official support from MS Windows 7. The review is written about the R5 1600 BOX.

Pros

- Multithreading - Number of Cores; - Cold; - A new successful architecture compared to FX and even with Intel quietly competes at the same frequencies; - From my subjective point of view, it pulls all games without overclocking, plus you can do a lot of different tasks in parallel and I don’t observe any special brakes / freezes.

Cons

The product is still damp, although I bought it and do not regret it. With memory, you still have to finish various nuances, plus there are errors that cannot be fixed at the AGESA level, and a new revision is not expected. But these are trifles, although they should not be ruled out.
