Review on Enhanced AMD Ryzen 5 1600X CPU (YD160XBCAEWOF) by Adam Konowski ᠌

I have found that a GTX 1060 with 6 GB of video memory and a packaged cooler to be the ideal combination; the computer runs smoothly and quietly, and the gaming performance is fantastic. There are videos on YouTube and articles that lead one to believe that overclocking the RAM to 3200MHz is impossible on this rock because the motherboard will not boot if the memory speed is increased over 3000MHz (resetting the settings to default). It's odd that despite 1600 Ryzen's (many crystal) implementation of 4 cores, the memory still runs normally up to 3200MHz on older processors like 1400 Ryzen, despite the fact that they use the same memory strips. Keep this in mind when shopping; my Corsair 2666MHz RAM could only handle up to 3000MHz, but yours might be able to handle more. Yes, and for those who do not like to overclock the RAM, the 2666MHz speed is more than adequate; after experimenting with overclocking the memory, I ultimately reverted to the factory settings and set the XMP profile to 2666MHz, and I am pleased with the results.
