The Ryzen 5 1600 is an exceptional value. Even compared to more affordable CPUs such as the Core i5-7600K, the new six-core Ryzen chips are a much better buy, regardless of what it is you plan to do with them. Thus let's discuss R5 1600X vs 1600.

I wonder if you could get 3.8Ghz on that stock cooler?
Interesting article. Glad to see sensible prices from AMD this time round, how much did AMD want for their 9590!
So you would recommend the 1600x over the 7600k if someone was planning on buying a SFF gaming machine and pairing it with a graphics card like a 1080 and a high refresh rate monitor?

Those overclocks were with the stock cooler, so the answer is yes

I'd get the R5 1600 over the 7600K.
you would be surprised... you would be surprised...Was this article really needed? I think basic intelligence can answer this question easily and the answer is R5 1600 with OC to 4 Ghz.

the motherboards have been getting constant BIOS updates since the launch. in a month or two most big bugs should be ironed out and RAM compatibility improved too. there is no need to wait as the boards work ok now.I've read stories about AMD motherboard issues. Would you recommend waiting on new revisions for most of these motherboards before anyone thinks about taking a leap with Ryzen?
My i5-2500k @ 4ghz is still handling everything I toss at it (Fallout 4, Witcher 3, Dues Ex Mankind). I don't see a need to upgrade this year and maybe not even next year. I have nothing against AMD as my previous PC's were mostly built with AMD CPUs.
if you got the money go for a new rig if you dont get a new graphics card either way that gtx480 needs to go , btw how the temps on that nuclear reactor ?My i5-2500k @ 4ghz is still handling everything I toss at it (Fallout 4, Witcher 3, Dues Ex Mankind).

I've got Core i5 2500K clocked at 4700Mhz on Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD4-B3 paired with 12GB 1333Mhz @ 1600Mhz of Ram and GTX480, now my dilemma is sell that and get Ryzen Rig or just get new graphics card?
those numbers are weird. it puts the higher clocked 1600x under the 1600 by almost 100 points. the single threaded results should be fine and only when compared to the heavily OC K CPUs from intel that it loses by a noticeable margin in certain games - even then it's just ~10% on average (like the i5 7600k at over 4.6GHz)It's single threaded cpu benchmarks are lacking. I would to see benched on more games.

Money is not a problem just me getting old is ( really think I should get a car ) and this card hits 100C even with 120mm fan on the side and new thermal paste applied on it, I'm really surprised it lasted all those years
Can't speak for the other poster but I only upgrade to improve my PC when it doesn't deliver the performance I want. I won't upgrade just to improve test results.if you got the money go for a new rig if you dont get a new graphics card either way that gtx480 needs to go , btw how the temps on that nuclear reactor ?My i5-2500k @ 4ghz is still handling everything I toss at it (Fallout 4, Witcher 3, Dues Ex Mankind).
