The design of the fan is decent, as I wish the AMD text amd logo would be facing upward so you can read it, instead it's placed sideways(but it's a small detail). The wiring is covered by braided plastic and it a decent length to reach most of your motherboard. The packaging is straightforward and the heatsink has preapplied thermal paste which gets mashed and spreads out past the CPU.
Good things to note:
Great multithreading speeds for multiple tasks
Overclockable
Comes with a great fan

For old-time comparison, the 1600 runs like a 4th-gen i7 (4770) if Intel had stuck a couple more cores on the die; or a hair better than a Xeon E5-1650. So maybe don't bother upgrading to this CPU if you already have an i7 less than 5 years old. Yes you can overclock this CPU, but not a huge amount. :-/ Runs games just fine for me, leaving my clunky old Radeon 7870 to be the bottleneck (or sometimes my 75Hz monitor).
My 1600 keeps me happy for now, and I look forward to having some good upgrade options for my AM4 board down the road. One more thought: consider supporting the underdog AMD for the sake of competition against Intel. You really don't want Intel to blow them out of the water no matter what your fanboy senses are telling you, or we will all be stuck with expensive options in the future with limited performance increases each year. Have fun waving your fanboy flag then.
I achieved a stable overclock with the stock cooling fan at 3.8Ghz. If you want to go higher you will probably need to upgrade to liquid cooling, but why bother? MSI B350 Tomahawk board does well enough with it despite their memory optimization issues. The latest updates are helping clear the way for AM4+ and it will be a solid addition to future generations despite earning some ire from early adopters.

Update: No lag at all. No bottlenecks when gaming. Using a coolermaster hyper 212 instead of stock cooler. Now I can overclock even further (that doesnt mean stock cooler isnt efficient). Stock wraith cooler is great but I like to overclock and test the limits of this CPU. Hence using an aftermarket cooler. Temperature doesnt climb beyond 65 degrees when put under heavy load. Overall worth the money and effort.

BARATO, comparado con las opciones de la competencia (INTEL):
- Por el mismo precio de lo que cuesta un procesador Intel generación 7, tienes un desempeño aproximadamente 40% mejor
- Este procesador debe soportar varios años antes de tener que cambiarlo, esto es debido a que su desempeño está entre los 4% más rápidos del mundo (Percentil 94)
- Puedes hacer Overclock sin tener que pagar más por una versión "liberada para Overclock"
- No necesita comprar disipador para hacer Overclock. Ya viene con un disipador "Wraith Spire" que tiene buen rendimiento y calidad, pero no trae LED para hacerlo lucir más. Si llegas a comprar un disipador "CoolerMaster H212 EVO" solamente mejora la temperatura en 10 Grados Celsis, por lo que se recomienda comprar disipador con refrigeración líquida si vas a invertir en un disipador
CONTRAS:
- No trae tarjeta de video integrada, por lo que tienes que comprar por separado una tarjeta de video a su gusto
- Si tienes presupuesto ilimitado, el procesador Ryzen no es para ti. En su lugar están los procesadores Intel que tienen mejor desempeño por cada núcleo y consumen más energía elétrica para realizar el mismo trabajo. En el mes de octubre de 2017 está entrando en el mercado el procesador Intel generación 8 que requiere un nuveo tipo de zócalo y tiene desempeño entre 30% a 40% mejor que el Intel generación 7
OTROS:
- Funciona todas las aplicaciones sin problemas de compatibilidad. Nota: En el primer mes del lanzamiento del procesador Ryzen ocurrió problema de compatibilidad que fue solucionado con actualización en la BIOS de las tarjetas madre
- Si ya cuentas con un disipador extra, recomiendo comprar la versión Ryzen 5 1600x (no trae disipador de calor) pero tiene posibilidad de realizar Overclock más alto
- La versión Ryzen 5 1600 (6 núcleos) es aproximadamente 30% más rápida que la versión Ryzen 5 1500 (4 núcleos), por lo que si quieres ir por una versión "más barata" están los AMD con el mismo zócalo AM4: AMD generación 7 (Athon y A-series) que tienen tarjeta de video integradas
- AMD garantiza un Overclock de mínimo de 3.6 GHz en el Ryzen 5 1600, y se puede lograr un valor mayor dependiendo de la suerte (Lotería del Silicone). Utilizando el disipador que viene con el procesador es bastante común que las personas consigan Overclock de 3.7 GHz. Utilizando disipador con refrigeración líquida, algunas personas logran Overclock arriba del 4.0 GHz
- Para realizar Overclock se tiene que utilizar tarjeta madre con zócalo AM4 que tiene Chipset B350 ó X370, esto es debido a que el Chipset A320 no permite Overclock

En resumen, no he tenido ningún problema con él (salvo el tema de las memorias RAM, ya que tengo unas memorias a 3866 megahercios y lo máximo que he sido capaz de ponerlas es a 3333 megahercios y eran bastante inestables, las tuve que bajar a 3200 para que fuesen estables, algo que, sin duda, tiene que trabajar AMD para la próxima generación de Ryzen), ha sido una compra muy acertada y estoy muy contento con este procesador, recomiendo su compra, yo lo volvería a comprar. Excelente trabajo de AMD
It is fully compatible with pretty much all A320/B350/X370 boards straight out of the box without needing any BIOS updates, as it was one of the original Ryzen 5 chips, unlike the newer APUs (namely 2200G and 2400G) which may need a BIOS update first. Installation is fairly straightforward, just release the latch on the motherboard, carefully place the CPU into the socket, and line it up with the golden triangle so you get it in the correct way around. As it relies on the pins at the bottom, be careful when handling it so as to not damage any pins - hold it around the sides if possible.
Once installed, it comes with the superb "Wraith Spire" cooler (included in the price), which does a good job of keeping the CPU at cool temperatures without the need for a third-party solution, and the thermal paste comes pre-applied. This is a little trickier to install depending on the motherboard, but it is 4 screws and if you cross (do one corner then the opposite) which ones you tighten, it is easier and prevents damage from putting too much pressure on one area. Once installed and plugged into the CPU fan header, it idles at around 33 degrees celcius on my machine (which is a good temperature for a stock cooler), however your own results may vary slightly. Even with lots of programs, including a game and a virtual machine running, it only reached 55 degrees celcius, so there will be some room for a mild overclock using this cooler, provided you are using a B350 or X370 chipset. It also runs quietly, you can barely hear the fans even when they are spinning fully.
The performance of the processor itself is great, it'll match or beat most Intel i5 offerings (and even some i7 chips), which is excellent considering the noticeable price difference and the better stock cooler that AMD provides. For multi-core workloads (such as video editing) it works perfectly, and while the single-core performance isn't quite as good (this isn't really too much of an issue), once software can fully optimise all of the cores, it'll perform drastically better. It also handles gaming well, paired with even a 750Ti it can handle games such as Rocket League on High/Ultra settings at 70-100FPS, so paired with a better GPU will yield great results in even modern triple-A titles.
Be sure to download the Ryzen Master software from AMD, where you can monitor the temperature accurately and adjust CPU settings, as well as the AMD Ryzen Chipset Drivers, which include a Windows power plan which is optimised for use with Ryzen CPUs.
In conclusion, I couldn't be happier with this Ryzen 5 1600. Smashes competition in terms of price to performance, includes a great cooler and runs pretty much anything you can throw at it with ease. I would highly reccommend this processor.
