Ryzen 1600 AF Variant

I will begin by saying that I am not a hardcore overclocker. I understand that there is a huge rabbit hole to go down on the subject and I just stand at the top and look in. Understanding just the basics of the system I just play around with the art, finding out if my chip is the better range of the silicon or the lower. On black Friday I spotted that the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 was on a sale for 80 dollars on amazon, that started my idea to start a budget build PC that I have been contemplating for a long time. I purchased the chip and it sat in my dresser until I got a B450m DS3H motherboard from Gigabyte, and 8 GB of 2666 DDR4 memory. I then saw a 590 Fatboy on sale for 179 dollars on the A-site of pocket burning. I was happy with my build, tried games like Witcher 3 ran it on ultra, full settings at over 100 fps at 1080p. As a 1080p monitor is what I have for the system, I was happy. Listening to This Week in Computer Hardware as I always do, I heard the recent episode mention 1600s having a set made with the new zen architecture and all amd did was replace the old chips with a zen architecture binned and clocked at the 1600 specs. I ran to my box that I still had and was happy to see that I had hit the silicon lottery big, as this never happens for me like it does others( I usually end up with the low end). My part number was YD1600BBAFBOX. I quickly jumped on the reddit article (link will be in comments) that seems to be the gathering spot for the people finding out that their 1600 was special in comparison to others experience. I currently have the chip clocked to 3.7 ghz all cores at 1.125 v and it seems to be running stable at a prime95 test I am running while writing the article and I am running a heaven benchmark directx11 all ultra settings so that I can maximize the temperature in my case to test scenarios of the gpu and cpu running at the same time. My cpu has the stock wraith cooler and is running at about 80 degrees Celsius. I plan to get a aio cpu cooler off of amazon so that I can see where this chip can go. Its been nothing but good since I recieved it a couple of months ago. The price seems to have gone up over to over 100 dollars, so i recommend just buying a 2600 hundred at that price point. This seems to be just a good situation for the people who have purchased the chip at 80 dollars and lucked out by the part number that they received. If you have one of these chips, look at the box to see if AF is in the number, you can also look at the chip to see as well. The older less capable version seems to AE on the chip or box. I’m really pleased with this purchase, when all I planned to be was just satiated with a budget deal. I will post an ad for the 1600 currently listed at 85 dollars still on amazon with the magic part number but I’m not sure if the deal will last. I recommend scooping it up
