AMD YD150XBBAEBOX Ryzen 5 1500X Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler

The Ryzen 5 1500X Processor is very powerful for its price and TDP. Upgrading from my old PC was night and day difference and the 4 Cores 8 threads will assure my PC a longer life span as programs get more advanced and demanding. The only problem I encountered was with the platform in general. I was unable to even use my PC for the first month and a half due to blue screening and bad drivers/ bios versions. To be honest, it was a nightmare, but after replacing all of my parts (other than working ones) finally replacing the SSD and installing windows 10 via USB did the trick and it has appeared to work great ever since. Anyways, here is my simple list of Pros and Cons. PROS: 1. Good Bang for the Buck ($189 here or 169 sometimes on eBay) for 4 solid Cores and 8 threads! 2. Very power efficient compared to the Amd FX cpus with a TDP of 65W 3. I haven't personally tried it yet, but this CPU has a pretty effective overclock. 4. The stock cooler is actually really good. My temps have never reached really hot temps even when gaming. Also, the cooler matches my black/silver themed build quite well surprisingly. CONS (Not really the CPU's fault) 1. The platform has a fairly rough beginning as memory support is sketchy and early versions of Windows 10 can prevent it from working. -Solution: Check your motherboard RAM compatibility and install the latest Windows 10 via USB. Because this issue isn't on the CPU exclusively, I will still confidently give this product a 5 stars!

Did a complete rebuild of home built PC. This AMD Ryzen 5 1500x is awesome. I paired it with the following new components: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1550x 3.5 gHz * Can be OC MOBO: MSI B350M Pro-VH Plus ( bought on Amazon ) RAM: Crucial Vengeance LPX DDR4 * gb 2666 mHz ( bought on Amazon ) * Can be OC PSU: Corsair CX650M Video Card: XFX Radeon R5 220A-2QHR 2 gb Monitor: Samsung S22B310 HDD: WD 1 TB 7200 RPM ( SATA ) DVD: Samsung DVDW - RW ( SATA ) Printer: Samsung 2165W Laser Printer OS: Neptune Linux OS 64 bit version 16.0, KDE Desktop System is running stable, no issues and AMD Ryzen 5 1500x CPU runs very cool with Spire cooler supplied. Definitely an excellent CPU.

It's good value for money, but don't have too high expectations. When buying parts, make sure they are compatible with all your other parts and pay attention to bottlenecks, otherwise you'll be wasting your money.

what can I say! I like AMD, and even if it's not ideal for every application like Intel, Ryzen 1500X was still a huge jump in performance for me. Just used the Ryzen master overclocker utility and used it with the ab350gaming Mobo, meant I could OC this machine literally first thing from stock 3.5Ghz, to 3.9+ghz, stable with my cooling solution. The Ryzen chips run very cool, especially this 1500x. I did NOT use the stock Spire Cooler (I use liquid cooling), but the cooler you get is one of the best in the box coolers I've ever seen. Be careful do NOT use AMD Overdrive like you might have used on your older FX series AM3+ or other AMDS. I made that mistake and had serious issues to solve before the machine would even boot up. Overal, Intel is better for gaming and many normal user activities, even after the recent problems with Intel chips and the recent emergency patch that slowed down peoples CPU. However, for bang for the buck or you use CPU intensive programs like video encoding, etc - This CPU will do it for you!

Just upgraded to this from an old fx 8350 black edition. The performance increase is fantastic! Playing PUBG, I went from having a 30-40 average framerate when in the lobby surrounded by people, to 65-80 average. In open fields it's usually 90ish frames and generally runs at 75-80 when in towns or combat. In Overwatch I went from 80-85 frames on average to around 120 - 130 on Ultra quaility. I capped the frames to 120 in settings to create more consistency though. Note: I am using a 144hz monitor at 1080p, so these gains are visible for me, but if you are using a 60hz monitor, most of these improvements won't matter. Using the Ryzen Master oc application is also great. I couldn't keep my processor at a 3.8 oc using bios. It kept underclocking to 1.55 ghz whenever I set manual voltages in bios. With the software I've got a rock solid 3.8 ghz at 1.37ish volts and was able to get my ram to run at 2666mhz (although I'm still having issues getting it to run at the rated 3000 for my ram). I also have multiple profiles saved for various use cases on my computer. I clock down and lower voltages when I'm going to bed in order to get some more energy efficiency and less heat in my room, and have a profile set up specifically for gaming or intensive computing. I know bios is a better way to go, but right now my Msi bios is having issues with that, so it's good to have this alternative until things are worked out. I did put a better Noctua cooler on, however the wraith spire is no slouch and I was able to get it at the 3.8 ghz with a 75 - 80ish degrees C temperature on load with prime95. On idle it was running around 40-45ish degrees. So unless you're doing some extreme overclocking, the wraith spire will be just fine with proper case airflow. Pros: - Great performance for the price! - includes a very competent cpu cooler - good future upgrade path - very competent gaming cpu Cons: - if upgrading from the fx line, having to get new mobo and ddr4 ram - so many options for good price points, you'll constantly be tempted to go one grade up in the ryzen line - current bios ecosystem is still a bit premature. They've come a long way, but support is still a little lacking for hardware. I've heard multiple accounts of people unable to get compatibility listed ram to run at rated frequencies. Mine is running at 2666 when they are rated for 3000 and the xmp in the bios just causes boot issues.

Bought "used." Was in excellent working condition when it arrived. Very pleased.

Sin duda es el mejor Ryzen si cuentas con un presupuesto muy apretado, en vez de ir por el 1400, recomiendo altamente hacer un poco más de esfuerzo e ir a por este. A pesar de ser la versión X como sus hermanos mayores, este si cuenta con un disipador, así que es un gasto "menos" en comparación. 3.5GHz que comparados con su hermano FX8350 que corre a 4.0GHz... el Ryzen da un mejor desempeño, probablemente 3 veces mejor. Los Ryzen funcionan mejor en ambientes donde se le saca jugo al multiproceso, poco a poco los videojuegos van utilizando esta tecnología, sin embargo no son mayoría por ahora por lo que puede no irte mejor que un i3 o i5 en todos los juegos, pero en juegos que haga uso de todos los núcleos, notarás la diferencia. Si eres una persona que compila, renderiza o procesa videos sin duda Ryzen es tu procesador. A comparación de su Familia FX, los Ryzen se calientan mucho menos, de hecho, incluso menos que un Intel. En su salida tenia problemas de compatibilidad pero actualmente ya no hay de que preocuparse, prácticamente ya todas las RAM y Tarjetas madre son compatibles, eso si, probablemente tengas que actualizar la BIOS al instalarla. Los Ryzen valen totalmente la inversión y ahora con los Threadripper estos han bajado de precio.

Ryzen 1500x. Opción muy interesante y a tener en cuenta en presupuestos ajustados. Este procesador esta a la par de rendimiento de los i5. El 1500x viene con 4/8 que en total darían 8 núcleos lógicos en el sistema. Viene con una frecuencia de 3.5 GHz y en modo turbo 3.7 GHz, decir que yo lo eh subido perfectamente a 3.9 GHz con un voltaje de 1.326v combinado con una placa base b350 junto unas memorias a 3000Mhz, en si el conjunto trabaja perfectamente y tiene un buen potencial este procesador. Decir que esta montado en refrigeracion liquida y no con el disipador de serie, tiene unas temperaturas en idle de unos 35º y sobre 58º en full. Este procesador junto una Rx 580 da un rendimiento muy bueno, sacando 4560 puntos en tyme spy. En pruebas con titulos a 1080p decir que se comporta muy bien. En tareas de videos, renderizados y descompresion tambien tiene un desempeño muy bueno. En resumen, este vendria a ser el hermano mediano de los Ryzen, tiene un buen rendimiento en todos los aspectos, es bastante fresco y sera ideal para todos aquellos presupuesos ajustados los cuales no quieran renunciar a tener una potencia mas que decente en todos los escenarios. Espero que te sirva de ayuda mi opinión.

Performance is good however CPU heats alot while running a game.

config: Geforce 970 KFA OC 4Go et 8Go RAM Overwatch, PUBG, et autres en qualité Ultra si je le souhaite avec + de 60 FPS. Le moniteur de ressources ne l'affiche jamais à plus de 50% en jeu même avec de multiples programmes lancés sur la machine au même moment. Il fait parfaitement le travail que les fabricants de CPU vantent seulement pour leurs haut de gamme... Honnêtement, pour un prix bien inférieur je ne me vois pas changer avant bien des années. Le ventirad fourni est tout à fait suffisant et je ne perçois aucune surchauffe. Bref, ravi.

Processore strepitoso per la sua fascia. Il migliore in casa AMD per la fascia medio/alta. Con un poco di OC tiene testa anche agli i7 di casa Intel, senza problemi e ha poco da invidiare ai suoi fratelli maggiori Ryzen 7. La differenza di prezzo per un Ryzen 7 non ne vale la pena, meglio un ryzen 5 1500X o un 1600 se volete fare per lo più gaming e uso quotidiano. Se invece il vostro uso da ufficio richiede grossi quantitativi di lavoro, come rendering, o calcolo grafico, matematico, scientifico, simulazioni etc, allora andare sul top di gamma con 8 core fisici e 8 virtualizzati potrebbe essere la scelta migliore, ovviamente dovrete accettare il compromesso del prezzo. Se invece volete stare su cifre contenute indipendentemente dal carico di lavoro, questo processore fa proprio al caso vostro. Come da specifiche, il consumo è basso e di conseguenza anche le temperature non sono eccessive. Nota importante, il dissipatore stock mi ha sorpreso molto. All'inizio credevo fosse come tutti i dissipatori stock di intel a cui eravamo abituati, che servivano solo a tenere ferma la cpu mentre si scrivevano documenti su word, invece si è rivelato un ottimo dissipatore in grado di reggere grossi carichi di lavoro !! cercate su youtube le comparative e i testi fatti e vedrete che è un ottimo dissipatore. Se siete intenzionati a fare OC invece dovrete scegliere qualcosa di più potente, ma senza OC è un ottimo dissipatore. In più il led attorno alla ventola gli da quel tocco in più che non lo fa sembrare un pezzo di plastica masticato. Ho montato questa CPU su due schede madri, MSI B350 tomhawak e poi su una Gigabyte GA-AX370-GAMING-K7 e su entrambe NON ho mai riscontrato problemi di compatibilità. E' anche vero che per tutte le nuove schede con socket am4 e nuovi chipset amd, ci sono gli aggiornamenti bios da fare, che risolvono alcuni problemi di compatibilità riscontrati dagli utenti. Consiglio vivamente di fare subito gli aggiornamenti bios prima ancora di installare il sistema operativo. Comunque io personalmente non ho riscontrato alcun problema di compatibilità su entrambe le schede madri. Conlcudendo, ottima CPU sopratutto per il rapporto qualità/prezzo/prestazioni. Consigliatissima !!
