Power Consumption and Temperatures
Power Consumption
With the R5 1600 being one of the faster R5 CPUs, the chip is a little power hungry, especially while overclocked. However, it’s not overly demanding and well under what the R7’s require.
Temperatures
One of the best aspects of the R5 is how much cooler they run compared to the R7 series chips. Therefore, the hardware doesn’t require as powerful a cool. Furthermore, it should also make overclocking easier on more affordable coolers!
