I purchased this used Ryzen 5 1600x, but the markings on the die appear lighter than shown in online images and videos. It seems consistent throughout the day. Could there be an issue?
It's been used and polished, causing parts to gradually lose some of their appearance. After repeated cleaning and reapplication, further wear will occur over time.
The Ryzen logo appears dimly, 2. As you apply thermal paste, clean it off, and repeat the steps, the text gradually disappears. It's impossible to tell exactly how much was used. Just run a benchmark with the CPU and compare your results to others' to judge quality.
Yes, cinibench should work well with your setup. It shouldn't impact the score significantly given your specs.
If you're using R15, you can anticipate performance around ~1320 cb (multi-thread). Based on my observations, Cinebench results likely wouldn't vary significantly. Certain titles struggle with lower frequency memory, causing minor stutters.
