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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good CPU at a good price (1600x) *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 9 December 2018* The chip I bought runs perfectly very cool with the arctic freezer 33 e-sports one cooler at 3.7ghz in games average out of the box no overclocking on all 6 cores at minimum all the time, and turbos up to 4.0ghz under 2 or 3 core use. For most users you don't need more CPU than this for at least 2 or 3 years. Perfect for gaming up to 100hz, only buy an i7 or 9900k if you have a monitor that's greater than 100hz. If you do a bit of live streaming and youtube editing, this will get the job done well. Sure, the ryzen 7s are noticeably better for that but you'd hope they would be for the higher price. The ryzen 5 1600x/2600(x), is the sweet spot for gaming and the odd bit of streaming here and there, if you're doing it full time or do streaming and content creation a lot, then get at least a ryzen 7, otherwise this is all you need for a while. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great CPU for Gaming *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 17 February 2018* Ryzen 5 1600X CPU: I recently bought this in place of the 1600 standard version as they wouldn't ship that one to Ireland on Prime, and because I didn't need the CPU fan that comes standard with the 1600 version (and not on the 1600X). I had an old Intel i3-2100 before this, and what an upgrade it has been! I read and watched a lot of reviews before settling on this, and I was strongly considering the Intel i5-8600k until I realised that the Intel CPU cost so much more for very little gaming performance upgrade. Both have 6 cores, etc. etc., and I liked that the AMDs ran cooler too. The new generation games will run better on AMD, as the Playstations and others are adapting to Ryzen CPUs and multiple cores, so I would recommend a Ryzen 5 to anyone who games, and a Ryzen 7 to high performance multi-taskers. I coupled this with an AsRock AB350 Pro4 mboard and a Noctua NH-U14S (with the AMD4 add-on kit), and it's been working like a dream. Installation was easy, and the manuals are very good and easy to understand. Great CPU, highly recommend. ## Frequently Bought Together - AMD Ryzen 5 1600X Processor (YD160XBCAEWOF) - CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO DDR4 RAM 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz CL16-18-18-36 1.35V Intel AMD Desktop Computer Memory - Black (CMW16GX4M2C3200C16) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/47963438-amd-yd160xbcaewof-ryzen-5-1600x-processor](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/47963438-amd-yd160xbcaewof-ryzen-5-1600x-processor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
