Review: Great for gaming, editing, school, server hosting while staying in budget. - This was a replacement for a Ryzen 5 1500X that took a dump, it is paired with a Asrock B450M Pro4, 32GB of G.Skill FalreX DDR4 RAM, NVIDIA 1060 6GB and Intel M.2 drive and a 2GB HDD. Nothing is overclocked except for the graphics card. Can't sweat it, even with running three full games such as Rust, Fortnite and Ark at the same time while running two different Minecraft servers, Twitch, youtube and ten million other open tabs all at stock speeds. Great value, worked out of the box, really fast, max FPS on a G-Sync monitor on all games. I also have rigs with Ryzen 7 1700 and a 1700X; there is a considerable difference in speed and stability between the 1500X and 1600X, but no discernible difference between the 1600X and 1700 or 1700X. I think I'll get another one for a micro-ATX mini-gaming build as the price is considerably less than a 1700 in price and better performance than the 1500X. It's the perfect "just right" processor right now. Review: Great deal! - Excellent processor with a great price. Better than some high end intel processors. The only issues are with the motherboards since the platform is so new, it will just be a matter of patience and learning. If you already have a good cpu cooler go for the R5 1600x if you don't than get the R5 1600. A lot of reviewers have said that people should get the 1600 instead of the 1600x because it comes with a cooler and because you can overclock it to similar speeds. Parts of that statement are true, such as being a better value because of the cooler. Where I don't agree is in the fact that you can overclock it. As I said, the motherboards are all still pretty new and not everyone is able to achieve the same clock speeds as well as the same ram speed due to the fairly new BIOSs. If you want a faster processor without having to deal with the overclocking and already have a good cooler, buy the R5 1600x. If you are willing to experiment with the bios and deal with overclocking issues or wait for better motherboards than get the R5 1600. Some people might ask, is better than the I5 7600k? The answer depends on what you want. If all you want is to play games at its highest performance and not have anything else open (such as browser tabs and other programs) then by all means get the I5. That was a joke. Although the i5 gets a few more fps on average, the lack of cores restricts you from doing anything else while gaming. Meanwhile with the R5 1600x you will be getting 3-5 fps less than with intel but you will be able to do more at once without having to stress the processor so much. Another thing to keep in mind is that to use a intel K chip you need to buy a more expensive motherboard to overclock it, meanwhile with amd you can overclock the chip (although the process is a little more tidious) with almost every motherboard that's being sold today. In terms of price this is a better value than i5 and i7. And in terms of performance it is on par with both the i5 and i7. ## Features - Frequency: 4.0 ghz precision boost - 6 cores/12 threads unlocked - Cache: 3 mb/16 mb (l2/l3); Maximum system memory speed: 2667mhz - Socket type: am4; System memory type: DDR4 - Extended frequency range (xfr); Max temperature: 95°c - Requires a thermal solution sold separately ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06XKWT7GD | | Best Sellers Rank | #497 in Computer CPU Processors | | Brand | AMD | | Built-In Media | AMD Ryzen 5 1600X processor, installation instructions and three-year processor limited warranty information | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 16 MB | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (1,553) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00730143308441, 07301433084418 | | Item Type Name | AMD Ryzen™ 5 1600X Processor | | Item Weight | 1.6 Pounds | | Manufacturer | AMD | | Model Number | YD160XBCAEWOF | | Platform | No Operating System | | Processor Brand | AMD | | Processor Core Count | 6 | | Processor Count | 8 | | Processor Number of Concurrent Threads | 12 | | Processor Series | Ryzen 5 1600X | | Processor Socket | Socket AM4 | | Processor Speed | 4 GHz | | Secondary Cache | 3 MB | | UPC | 730143308441 | | Warranty Description | three-year processor limited warranty | | Wattage | 95 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** AMD - **CPU Manufacturer:** AMD - **CPU Model:** Ryzen 5 1600X - **CPU Socket:** Socket AM4 - **CPU Speed:** 4 GHz ## Images ![Ryzen 5 1600X Processor (YD160XBCAEWOF) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51aCN2BHxjL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I can used my evo212 cpu fan or i need other?** A: In order to use the evo212 CPU fan with ryzen 5 you need to buy an adapter from cooler master **Q: Does the 1600x comes with a wraith spire cooler?** A: I would advise at least an AIO cooler, even the regular R5 1600 can get warm on air cool. **Q: How many pice lanes does this chip have** A: 24 (PCIe 3.0) lanes on the CPU and 8 on the chipset. **Q: Is this compatible with the prime x370 pro motherboard?** A: yes ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for gaming, editing, school, server hosting while staying in budget. *by M***W on June 20, 2019* This was a replacement for a Ryzen 5 1500X that took a dump, it is paired with a Asrock B450M Pro4, 32GB of G.Skill FalreX DDR4 RAM, NVIDIA 1060 6GB and Intel M.2 drive and a 2GB HDD.

I haven't met a game it can't handle. *by S***H on October 7, 2017* I've had this 1600X since June 1st, 2017, and it's constantly in use. It works extremely well and handles VR beautifully in combination with my ROG Strix 6GB GTX 1060 graphics card, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and an SSD. I don't suspect I'll have to upgrade my rig again for at least 2-3 years, and the next upgrade will probably be a simple graphics card swap. The cost of getting a Ryzen CPU for the first time is the cost of getting the CPU itself along with an AM4 motherboard and most likely new DDR4 RAM sticks as well. This is not as simple of an upgrade as a GPU card swap or even switching from Phenom II to FX. This Ryzen CPU requires DDR4 RAM to function correctly. It is a massively expensive upgrade that should not be taken lightly. Consider all your options and learn what you need before you start purchasing anything. Ryzen CPUs are awesome! If, like me, you were gaming on some kind of AMD rig from before the FX series, you may have considered switching to Intel because the FX series CPUs overheated like crazy and didn't have much greater of performance than Phenom II CPUs. Ryzen CPUs are a different story. Ryzen CPUs compete with Intel's best consumer level CPUs. After many months of testing this CPU's limits, I'm very happy with my upgrade. This 1600X CPU is also identical to the 1600 model, especially if you plan to manually overclock it, so you could save some money that way. Not only is the 1600 model cheaper but it comes with a decent-looking CPU cooler you can use until you get something more capable of getting temperatures stable for overclocking. Other than that, I like the 1600X very much and find it incredibly productive. ## Frequently Bought Together - AMD Ryzen 5 1600X Processor (YD160XBCAEWOF) - CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO DDR4 RAM 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz CL16-18-18-36 1.35V Intel AMD Desktop Computer Memory - Black (CMW16GX4M2C3200C16) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/41204131-ryzen-5-1600x-processor-yd160xbcaewof](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/41204131-ryzen-5-1600x-processor-yd160xbcaewof) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
