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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

As others have confirmed this is a 12nm R5-1600 upgrade and well worth it!

Good: 12nm R5 1600 upgrade A bit confusing at first as I haven't heard anything like it just examining the part number (YD1600BBAFBOX). Note the F in the penultimate character, not E) I finally found info on this (along with another reviewer's post here) Bad: Not even that bad, but given that this CPU revision is clocked slightly lower at 2600, compared to the original 14nm version of the 1600, it comes with a Wraith Stealth cooler (like the 2600) instead of a Wraith Spire. This is a bit confusing at first and a bit finicky as the Stealth handles those CPU requirements with ease. I only installed it a few days ago, but I'm very happy with it - a great deal for a better than expected processor.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • So far so good
