Buying a Ryzen 5 1600 in 2024 | Full Review

[@vicietor]

ryzen 5 2600 with a rtx 2060 and still plays black ops 6, battlefield games and most other games smooth

[@sohaibahmadpoor3215]

Thank you for this video. Feels good to see old cpus after several years to observe the performance

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Glad you found it interesting! :)

[@brentvalentine]

I'm running a 2600 (used), MSI B450 (open box) and a RX 6600 (new on sale). It does what I need for the games I play, eg Cyberpunk 2077. I don't play online games and I enjoy my 1080p gaming experience.

[@TheShepherdsChapelChannel]

your the only tech channel i learn something. the other channels are too much pretentious marketing noise and fluff . no actually users in those channels. I subbed.

[@ImWateringPSUs]

You’re way too kind and your comment made me genuinely happy :)) I’ll try to keep improving the vids for you guys!

[@jameyt1]

That’s the unfortunate reality with tech tubers. The top ones are entertainers, they are not there to teach you anything. Most are very biased as well

[@scott_casper]

I’ve tried some experiments with this CPU and thought to fix the stuttering by down-clocking the stock speed to 3.20Ghz to 3.10Ghz and undervolting Dynamic Vcore(DVID) to -150. Surprisingly it worked! (well for me tho) I hope this information helps with people who have any stuttering with this CPU. my specs: motherboard with the latest bios settings GA-A320M-S2H. Gigabyte Geforce RTX 4070 GPU. 3600mhz 32 gigs of RAM (the max speed I can go is 3200mhz with XMP disabled)

[@PcTechHardware-q3f]

yea even ryzen 3000 had bad 1% lows for high refresh rate gaming ryzen 5000 the lowest i would go

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Very true! Ryzen 5000 was a whole different animal and they fixed all the issues imho. I wasn’t that happy with Ryzen until 5000 was released tbh

[@renatogalafassi5812]

If you use a 60 - 75hz monitor, this processor is sufficient as it only pushes current games up to this frequency.

[@crocogaming0621]

Higher refresh rate is mainly gpu bound not in cpu

[@vana4054]

Are you washing it with water straight from the water pipe? If so, it has plenty of added chemicals that will corrode your MB, even if you wash it with isopropanol...

[@joefifa8415]

great video bro

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Thank you!

[@davidsmith4186]

Times are hard right now in 2024. 🤷‍♂️

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Naaaaahh, PC hardware is doing pretty well! I’d say it’s a pretty good time to build a PC too :)

[@Soul_Wizard_Of_Lemuria]

I really dont want to spend too much money on gaming. Im on a r5 3600 right now. I am eyeing on the r5 5700x which is on sale 105$ brand new. Should I go for it?

[@ERRR-bp9go]

I would go for a Ryzen 5 5600. The additional 2 core that you get with the 5700x won't make for a big improvement if your only gaming. There's also the option to get a 5700x3D if your motherboard supports this cpu, keep in mind that it needs a bit more power compared too your current one

[@dondoysmotovlog6599]

Hi, not related to your video, I just like to ask is it okay to pigtail 4080 super specifically the gigabyte windforce 750watts requirement? I only have 2 pcie cable in my psu.

[@ImWateringPSUs]

If you’re using two distinct pcie cables and are then using pigtail to fill the third input in the adapter, yes. If you’re using a single 8Pin pcie cable for the 4080S, well if you undervolt it you should be able to get away with it but it’s not recommended

[@dondoysmotovlog6599]

@@ImWateringPSUs Thank you for your reply. 😀

[@jermygod]

this CPU is not the first generation, this is 1600AF not AE, that is, the renamed 2600. and 3800MHz for 1600af is "safe and low" speed without increase in voltage, with luck he will take up to 4.2

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Mine is the AE! I also refer to the AF in the video though :) AF is much better binned clock and voltage wise as you say, unfortunately though the .1% lows issue remains😔

[@jermygod]

@@ImWateringPSUs but all footage shows AF and even when you measure performance in GPU-Z it says Pinnacle Ridge architecture, which is the 2nd generation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@heythatsprettygood6492]

@@ImWateringPSUs you showed the chip, its an AF

[@fv101]

my xeon e5 1650 v4 gets 485 single and 3522 multi on cpuz. is this good? got it for 24 bucks

[@frankwong9486]

There was 8 cores version (looks they put incorrect binning or incorrect IHS) of 1600 and also the refreshed 1600AF If you lucky enough see if you can have a 8 cores version

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Very true! It would be great value to buy it for 10-20$ and find out it’s an 8-core :) However, even then, it would just be a worse binned R7 1700, definitely worth it for productivity but not so much for gaming!

[@iliketurtles9719]

I have a A520 motherboard lying around what cpu should i put on it for my nephew for gaming and some coding I know it cannot overclock but still

[@badmoose01]

5600 non X sounds good.

[@somsree01]

r5 2600 ram16 gtx 1060 3gb Its ok?😢

[@heythatsprettygood6492]

This is a 1600af, which is a rebranded 2600. Steer away from this video if you are looking for the 1st gen Zen 1600.

[@wasp6405]

If you are playing anything like CS2 or something stay away from ryzen 1000 , 2000 and 3000 series they're all bad for that particular competitive experience. Stutter out of nowhere but 5000 series do not have that so 5000 series is very good no problem.

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Very true, very true. Ryzen 5000 was the turning point gaming wise🙂‍↕️

[@jorgo00]

im using a ryzen 5 3500 w 1050ti and on low settings with dynamic shadows set to all at 1600x900 im still getting above 160 it even hits 200fps in 5v5. It's not that bad. But im also running a 100Hz monitor instead of 165hz or 144

[@wasp6405]

@@jorgo00 Bro you get 160 to 200 fps in cs2 ? You don't play with fsr right ? if so 1050 ti is a god tier card bro very nice. You wouldn't feel the difference that much it happens to me sometimes in csgo I don't have experience of cs2 with those processors. I used to play csgo with above 250 fps on my 165hz monitor and sometimes it would drop to 160, 140 and i sometimes experienced microstutter and maybe bios updates fixed those issues. I get random fps drop on Ancient map on cs2 but I blame that on game and not on processor or gpu like drop from 200 to 60 for no reason in T- spawn waters just after buying and when round start and I start moving. I don't even play the game that much anymore.

[@wasp6405]

@@jorgo00 It only matters when every frame matters in casual or other games you shouldn't care so much and just enjoy the game.

[@BMW-M4-M-POWER]

Well damn I’m in a situation where I am gonna buy either this or a 2600 and pair I twitch a 970

[@Rockpat]

Watched this video on a Ryzen 5 1600 :-). Also I recently upgraded my GPU from a GTX 1650 to a RTX 3070Ti, & the bottleneck is real. Though only waiting for my new Motherboard to arrived to use my AMD Ryzen 9 5950x lying next to me.
