AMD Ryzen R5 1600X 6-Core AM4 Processor Review

Power Consumption and Temperatures


Power Consumption

With 6-cores, the 1600X is a little thirst on power, but that was to be expected. Intel still have the more efficienct chips, but for this price range AMD are doing a fine job of turning that power into performance.

Temperatures

The good news is that the R5 series runs quite a lot cooler than the R7, which means they’re much easier to keep cool during overclocking. Our Noctua NH-D15S had no issues keeping the chip within tollerable limits even when the overclocks were pushed past 4 GHz.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
