    Footnotes:

    1. Overclocking AMD processors, including without limitation, altering clock frequencies / multipliers or memory timing / voltage, to operate beyond their stock specifications will void any applicable AMD product warranty, even when such overclocking is enabled via AMD hardware and/or software. This may also void warranties offered by the system manufacturer or retailer. Users assume all risks and liabilities that may arise out of overclocking AMD processors, including, without limitation, failure of or damage to hardware, reduced system performance and/or data loss, corruption or vulnerability.

Other hardware (including graphics cards) and system requirements recommended by Oculus Rift or HTC Vive should also be met in order to operate the applicable HMDs as intended. As VR technology, HMDs and other VR hardware and software evolve and/or become available, these criteria may change without notice. Check with your PC or system manufacturer to confirm VR capabilities. GD-11.

    Customers say

    Customers are happy with the performance of the computer processor. They say it handles most games and emulation pretty well. They are also happy with ease of installation, saying it was a breeze for a noob PC builder. They also say that overclocking is easy with the Ryzen Master software that AMD provides. Customers also are happy value, noise, and quality. However, some customers differ on thermal paste.

    376 customers mention346 positive30 negative

    Customers are satisfied with the performance of the computer processor. They say it works very well, is a great CPU for a more budget-focused gaming PC, and runs games just fine. It handles most games and emulation pretty well, and is fast enough and powerful enough for whatever you need. For a low price of 210, customers are able to game with high frame rates, encode 720 and 1080 video, and has six physical cores at much higher speed. They also mention that it boots fast and has no issues.

    Customers like the heat of the computer processor. They say that it runs plenty cool enough, even when transcoding videos. The function and included cooling still work great after several years of daily use. The stock cooler is a great cooler and doesn't suck like the ones Intel ships their cpu. It is real stable and the temps are solid. It even comes with a better cooler in the box. It idles at 32 C.

    Customers are mixed about the thermal paste. Some mention that it comes with the thermal patte and the stock fan, while others say that it didn't come with the paste like advertised. Some customers also mention that the pre-applied thermal paste is sub-par and should be replaced.

    "...The packaging is straightforward and the heatsink has preapplied thermal paste which gets mashed and spreads out past the CPU...." Read more

My CPU can hit 3.75 GHz at 1.243 V. I can get 3.85 GHz on 1.3 V. I tried to get 3.9 GHz at 1.35 V, and it wouldn't even boot. I could have tried 1.4 V, but it's really not worth it with my build. I decided to stick with 3.75 GHz because I really don't want to push it with temps on load. I idle at around 30 C and hit a maximum of 60 C running Intel Burn Test (previously said 66, but that was with a dusty radiator). This also with 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) of 3200 Mhz RAM.This CPU is kind of a sidegrade in gaming compared to my i7 4770k, but it's much better for productivity since I do photo and video editing in Adobe Lightroom and Premiere Pro respectively. Thank goodness for AMD bringing 6 cores and 12 threads to consumers at an affordable price.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Bueno Bonito Barato: Tiene el mejor costo para los equipo de alto desempeño
    Reviewed in Mexico on October 5, 2017
    Tiene el mejor costo para los equipo de alto desempeño

    BUENO (comparación realizado en el 5 de octubre del 2017):
    - Sin Overclock (3.20GHz): está entre los 4% CPU más rápidos del mundo (Percentil 96, con CPU mark de 12643)
    - Con Overclock1 (3.77GHz, 3.0V): está entre los 2% CPU más rápidos del mundo (Percentil 98, con CPU mark de 13941)
    - Con Overclock2 (3.85GHz, 3.5V): está entre los 2% CPU más rápidos del mundo (Percentil 98, con CPU mark de 14200)
    - Trabaja con 12 procesos simultáneos (6 procesadores con 2 nucleos cada)
    - Bajo consumo de energía: Sin overclock (11W minimo; 73W máximo); Con overclock1 (17W mínimo; 105W máximo); Con Overclock2 (21W mínimo, 130W Máximo)

    BONITO, está diseñado con todas las tecnologías más modernas:
    - Soporta memoria DDR4: trae canales especializados para optimizar el acceso a las memorias DDR4
    - Soporta almacenamiento SSD NVMe nativo: trae canales especializados en PCIe para lograr máxima velocidad sin afectar el ancho de banda PCIe
    - Soporta optimización del consumo de energía por cada núcleo
    - Soporta realización de Overclock (incremeto de velocidad) en todos los modelos de la categoría Ryzen

    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
