    A real little bomb!

    With my new graphics card my CPU was not adapted anymore This Ryzen 5 1600 AF and top in the end it is the equivalent of a 2600 when we look at the tests RYZEN 1600AF- RTX 2060 BFV 115 fps RYZEN 2600- RTX 2060 BFV 120 fpsOne of the best in the world! Perfect

    The Ryzen good plan...

    The 1600 (the AE) is a zen type Ryzen, but nowadays it's not manufactured anymore, except that the demand is important, so AMD resorts it with a code ending with AF and that changes everything, it's a 2600 type zen+ with a lower frequency to disguise it as 1600.
    It's a zen+ 2600 with a lower frequency to disguise it as a 1600, and it's the same with no heat.
    Add to that the fact that it runs on X570 (which doesn't normally accept 1600s) and the picture is perfect for less than the cost of a 2600, you have a brand new 2600 or 1600AF that is just as good.

    Best power/price ratio

    There are more powerful than this processor, but it is the best power/price ratio according to the PassMark CPU site, by far!
    If you're on a budget, I'd advise you to get this CPU, and if you have more money, get it anyway so you can invest in a decent graphics card!

    Super processor!

    It is an excellent processor that is versatile, inexpensive and above all, very powerful!

    With 2x8 Go DDR4 in 3200 Mhz, a B450 Gigabyte Aorus Pro motherboard, a Be Quiet Pure Rock cooling, a GTX 1660 Super and a Corsair 750w RM750X power supply in Gold all in a Fractal Design Define C TG case.

    It sends out the pudding and the dog food! More than 100 fps on most FPS and big games of the moment.

    Contrary to another comment, the processor does not exceed 60-65 degrees on software such as Cinebench, OCCT or Furmark (maybe bad settings from the user).

    I'm not sure if it's a good one or a bad one, but it's a good one. I highly recommend :D
