Stability, Power, Overclocking

I'm excited to have this. It's the latest CPU. It's an 8 core

Fast, Powerful, Great Cinebench

Price Performance


this is the newest amd cpu i have gotten and it has been fantastic. its mounted on a msi tomahawk b650 wifi motherboard and works great.

I finally upgraded from a first Gen Ryzen to a Fifth Gen Ryzen, and the results are satisfying. Got this when there was a promo code for 15$ off, worth every buck. Would buy this rather than spend 20 more dollars for the X version. Ryzen 5 1600 to a Ryzen 5 1600, still same cores and threads but nearly a huge spike in peformance due to the zen 3 architecture.


- Hits 4.95GhZ with Ryzen auto-OC software, using Corsair H100i at 60C - Civ 6 map load times are under 20 seconds - Hardly breaks a sweat for most of my applications, and throttles itself quite effectively

- I am using an air cooler, and the system runs very quiet and smooth. - Cinebench R23 easily passes 35,000 multicore and 2,271 single-core without overclocking

Fast Solid performance in games at stock specs Multitasking a breeze on multiple monitors with multiple programs/windows

CPU performs well, stable, temps are not an issue with a be quite Pure Rock Pro 3. Upgraded from a Intel i5-6500...... So probably not fair to compare.

It lives up to it's specs. I won't be overclocking this thing, so can't speak to that. It's easy to install - orient it correctly and just drops into place.


Barely slower than the 7600X, but sips power. Extremely efficient. I can run multiple games, my Ark Server, leave Chrome tabs open, and it won't so much as stutter.
