Cons: Didn't come with a stock cooler. Had to get a new backplate for my old AM3+ AIO Water Cooler.
Other notes: If you are making the transition from any other architecture then PLEASE READ this information about RAM compatibility. It will save you a ton of headache and trouble down the road.
Ryzen Processors scale very well with RAM speeds, both MHz and timings. However, getting anything to run stable above 2666 MHz has been tricky and near impossible for some people. One type of RAM that works pretty well all the way up to DDR4-3466 speeds and at their rated timings, far more reliably than any other, are RAM chips that have single rank & single-sided Samsung B-die memory chip configurations. There are 31 kits that have this configuration that I know of. Yes, those memory kits generally cost more than those that have other Samsung die or SK Hynix but right now the Hynix memory chips are causing all sorts of compatibility problems once you get into overclocking territory (anything above 2400 MHz). I had a "cheapo" kit of 16 GB Corsair LPX DDR4-3000 that after 3 weeks of tireless testing simply wouldn't go past 2666 MHz and would only go that speed at CAS 16. (We're not talking about an old, outdated BIOS here. We're talking about a June BETA BIOS that contains AGESA 1.0.0.6) However, the G.Skill TridentZ Series 16 GB kit works flawlessly and at rated speeds of 3200 MHz at 14-14-14-34 timings. Both kits were on my MBs QVL. The difference? The G.Skill TridentZ uses single rank, single sided Samsung B-die. The model number is F4-3200C14D-16GTZ. The price is high and it goes out of stock regularly now because Ryzen users are aware of it's superior stability when compared to other ram types. Don't have the money to spend on your ram? I get it. Then my recommendation would be to get a solid 2400 or 2666 kit and stay away from 3000 - 3200 kits for a while until the majority of Motherboards have their Hynix compatibility problems sorted out. I believe the Hynix problems will be sorted eventually and if you can settle for running at lower-than-rated speeds for a while and hope / pray for a fix down the road then have at it. But make no mistake, the benchmark tests are very conclusive that the differences between 2666 @ 16-18-18-38 and 3200 @ 14-14-14-34 are HUGE.
Do some google searching on this subject before you buy if you need further convincing. If you go the cheap route on memory you are limiting your processor's ability to amaze you.
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 it
Will revisit this review to make appropriate rating change.
UPDATED 01/29/2018
I 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)

Overall, i'm happy with how its run. I have had zero issues with it in my Gigabyte k7 motherboard and though early on people had issues with ram being forced to run at lower than max settings, my ram worked right out the box once i activated the xmp profile. I would highly recommend for all but the most extreme gamers. Yes Intel has dominated this area for a long time, but with Ryzen, AMD just bashed the sleeping tiger with a hammer. Time will tell if AMD is able to take intels place, or if intel will pull an ace out of its sleeve.
Installing with the AM4 sockets is a piece of cake, there's a small triangle on the processor and on the socket in the motherboard, orientate them the same way, line up the pins with the holes and pull the clip down. Pea sized amount of thermal paste and fit your CPU cooler.
Upon installing the first CPU i was getting weird freezes just after, during or before the windows 10 welcome screen. No blue screen message just the PC would freeze, I replaced every other component and still had crashes it was the processor. Amazon sent a replacement the next day and that has been working a dream, i had to upgrade my computer to run apex legends and this processor handles games with ease. CPUs with all the pins straight being faulty is incredibly rare, 0.001% territory but just a heads up if you get as unlucky as me, the freezing during different stages of boot and no blue screen may be the processor at fault like I had.
NOTES IF YOU ARE GETTING THIS PROCESSOR;
AMD Ryzen 1600x and other x processors do not come with stock coolers, you will need an AM4 socket compatible stock cooler to fit on installation.
If you aren't getting an AM4 socket motherboard with XMP ability do not get DDR4 RAM with a clock speed higher than 2666mhz.
This processor is a beast for the money and tackles any modern game with ease, the Ryzen master drivers allow you to overclock and tweak the processors performance with ease.
Despite getting a faulty processor originally, I still can't recommend the processor enough. The sellers professionalism with replacing the faulty part instantly, crap happens sometimes and I feel like I just got unlucky.
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.

Not for single task as only gaming(Intel)
AMD expert in multitasking and Intel expert in usaging,so I want future proof and multitasking.
Here in intel in gaming it was completely used as 100% so there is no space to use another at a time but AMD used 50%-60% so there is a space to use another task at a time & it as ao much space so it is future proof
I used AMD athlon64x it was worked 12 years without any issues,it was best in multitasking
