    I would give this a higher rating but the CPU arrived with bent 3 pins making it impossible to install until the pins were straightened..Straightening the pins is a very delicate process and (for me) required use of a magnifying glass because I'm getting older and the pins are just so small. I believe I successfully straightened them but until I complete the build process and power it up I cannot tell if it worked or not. I've been building computers since the early 80's so I know the bent pins were bent before I ever opened the package because they were on the inner row, where you would NEVER place your fingers while handling during opening the package or installing itWill revisit this review to make appropriate rating change.UPDATED 01/29/2018I have raised my initial 3-star review to 5-stars. The CPU runs cool at stock speed while providing perfectly acceptable performance. It overclocks like a beast, too. Currently running at 4GHz and I know it will boot up and run stable at 4.3GHz until it gets too hot in Prime 95 due to my use of an AIO cooler with a thin radiator instead of a nice, fat 360mm or 480mm Rad and custom loop.I'm confident that, with proper cooling, 4.3GHz would be 24/7 stable. It already passes Passmark and CPU-Z's benchmarks and Valley, but gets too hot in Prime95. (it runs at 4.3GHz with only 1.45v)

    Reviewed in Mexico on April 23, 2021
    Lamentablemente el primer procesador llegó con uno de los pines desviado, como se ve en la primera foto. Pedí una devolución del producto, y se me envió el reemplazo en tan solo un día (domingo). El segundo procesador que se envió está en perfectas condiciones, en la segunda y tercera foto se observa la instalación física y como lo reconoce CPU-Z.
    Quiero destacar que fue un excelente servicio de parte de Amazon el manejo de la devolución y el reemplazo, una atención al cliente de primera calidad.
    El procesador está muy bueno, funciona de maravilla y es muy recomendado.

    5.0 out of 5 stars AMD reaparece con Ryzen para arrebatar la corona a Intel
    Reviewed in Spain on September 28, 2018
    AMD ha pasado 5 años de refritos en la serie FX mientras Intel dominaba el mercado con ligeros incrementos en cada nueva generación. Finalmente, AMD ha vuelto a ser un competidor real tanto en la gama baja y media, como nos tenía acostumbrados, hasta en la alta, con sus Threadripper, gracias a la nueva arquitectura Ryzen.
    Con la primera generación encontramos un rendimiento multithread que supera con creces a la contraparte de Intel, a la mitad de precio. Cabe señalar que Intel sigue siendo mejor en single thread, por lo que programas que no aprovechan la capacidad multithread se siguen viendo muy beneficiados por Intel (Es decir, Intel sigue siendo el rey del gaming). Pero considerando rendimiento y precio, AMD sale victoriosa. Además, cada vez es más común el streaming mientras se juega, y en este tipo de multitareas es cuando Ryzen vuelve a ser superior.
    Hablando sobre el producto, el 1600x es el tope de gama dentro del Ryzen 5 de primera generación, con 6 núcleos y 12 threads. Al igual que todos los chips de AMD, está desbloqueado y puedes realizarle OC con una placa base B350 o X370 (La primera más barata y suficiente). Personalmente tengo una Asus B350 Gaming Plus y he realizado OC hasta 4.1.
    Hablando del OC, cabe recordar que el Ryzen 1600x NO viene con disipador, por lo que deberás comprar uno compatible con AM4.
    También es importante señalar que Ryzen se beneficia de RAM de altas velocidades. Concretamente 3200 es el punto perfecto de calidad/precio. Revisa la compatibilidad con la placa base a la hora de comprar la RAM, y recuerda que de stock únicamente funciona a 2166: Deberás overclockearla tú, o activar el perfil D.O.C.P.
    Actualmente ya tenemos la segunda generación de Ryzen (2xxx) que ofrece mejoras a la primera generación, a un precio superior. Las mejoras no son suficientes para justificar la sustitución entre una generación y otra, pero si tienes un PC antiguo o quieres comprar uno nuevo, compra la segunda generación salvo que encuentres un buen precio de la primera.

    En definitiva, AMD vuelve a ser una gran opción a la hora de montarte el PC, y el 1600x te ofrecerá gran rendimiento a bajo coste.
