AMD Ryzen™ 5 1500X Quad Core AM4 CPU with Wraith Spire 95W cooler

Good value for money

Clock speed is a little low, I should have spent a little more and gone for the 1600X.

Almost as good as my Ryzen 7 1700. Price is excellent. Also comes with a good stock fan.

None.

This CPU is definitely worth the money. You're getting decent speeds for a decent price, and if you overclock you're getting even more power for your money. Highly recommend.

The cooler included is probably the most finicky thing to attach and at times I thought I was going to snap my motherboard.

Very good value for money Power efficient Great overclock on stock fan Quiet Doesn't get hot Multitasking

Comes with a nice fan. Good value to performance

Nothing come to mind

Great CPU for only £150 Great for gaming and productivity

Come with a nicer cooler

a good overclocker although even at stock speeds the chip is blazing through through games

The Pre-applied thermal paste isn't very good

Easy to overclock Easy to install

First of all, the performance far exceeds my old i5-4570S. CPU-bound applications are obviously much faster. The supplied cooler, the Wraith Spire, performs at a similar level to my old Freezer 13 while running much quieter, and is very easy to attach...

The Coffee Lake i5 8400 apparently performs better for a similar price, though Intel's motherboards are more expensive. It's unclear whether or not the pre-applied TIM is silver-based or not, but I'm not a massive fan of conductive paste and had to...

Easy fit and decent fan mount options. Got to be the value point in CPUs at present.

Had to do some carefull research into Ram for compatibility. The support pages are pretty hard to find.
