Im using it in my main PC.
My personal experience is using this with an ASUS Strix B450-F Gaming motherboard and a Fractal Design Celsius S24 AIO cooler. This booted no problem with my motherboard. After doing some initial stress tests to make sure it was stable and everything was working ok, I went back to the BIOS to overclock it.
Also, I should note that I did not do a fresh install of my OS after swapping CPUs. I run Windows 10 with whatever the current update is as of Jan 2020. On intial boot, my WiFi was disabled, but I had already loaded the chipset drivers onto a USB drive. I installed the chipset driver, rebooted, and everything was more or less back to normal. I did show all my hidden devices in Device Manager, then went through and removed everything related to my old CPU and old Motherboard. Not really sure that was needed, but it's what I did. Windows did not seem to mind at all, and it is still showing up as activated.
I was able to hit 4.0 GHz pretty easily. All I did was change the multiplier from Auto to 40, and TPU from Auto to TPU II. Rebooted and stress tested again, rock solid at 4.0 GHz with occasional single core boosts to 4.4 GHz and multi core boosts to 4.2 GHz. Note that I did not use PBO or really anything else to do this.
Temperatures while testing never went above 50c. The interesting part about that is my AIO has a hardware based auto mode that seems to throttle the fans independently of the motherboard. The fans never really seemed to ramp up to maintain the 50c temperature.
One other thing I wanted to note was a comparison to my old processor, an Intel 4790k running at stock speeds. I lost the silicon lottery with that CPU, and it would never really OC past 4.4 GHz without running up the voltage quite a bit, to the point where the CPU was running very hot. However, it would undervolt pretty well while running at stock speeds, so I just ran it undervolted for about 5 years. Setup like this, it would run at around 70-77c with the same cooler, and the fans were working much harder.
The R5 1600AF runs most of my games with a few more frames at the top end and average (maybe 5-10 depending on the game). However, my low frames and perceived smoothness is night and day. I am easily gaining 10-30 frames on the low end. The desktop also feels a lot snappier.
So overall, I am happy. While I didn't gain an amazing FPS boost, my PC is much quieter and my experience is much better. If I did any actual productivity work, I would probably notice even more of a difference. For $85, I am thrilled with this processor. Easily the best CPU I have ever purchased.
Update Feb 14th : I just bought two more of these and pairing them with Amazon Warehouse Tomahawk B450 boards($76 a piece). I decided to sell my old Sandybridge cpu/board/ram and would even upgrade my kids hand me down PC's to these as the price isn't that much considering I get about $80-100 for each of my old hardware setups. What those systems do overclocked with more watts and temps, this does effortlessly stock , cool and quiet. I am a bang for the buck shopper with 7 PC's around the house , so these 1600AF can someday replace my Intel Dual core setups.
I recently upgraded my Sandybridge 8yr old 4.7ghz i7 with a 2700x for $136 after cash back from Amazon card(Thanks Tech Deals youtube channel). I liked the upgrade so much that I also wanted a similar feel for 1 of my MediaPC's that I run a GTX970 in. Figured this 1600AF would likely be a great value for a budget HD/4k TV gaming setup. I just finished installing it and I ran a benchmark on my 2700x and then dropped in the 1600AF all stock settings with 3200mhz C16. Without changing a thing except CPU, both runs showed my GTX1070 is 99% GPU bound under "The Shadow of the Tomb Raider" benchmark. I know lower detail would help show performance differences in the CPU but for my quick test I am very pleased with the performance at stock. No difference than my 2700x. Max temp is 34c with a Noctua 14 cooler. I will soon move this 1600AF CPU/MB/RAM over to the Media PC case with Prism RGB cooler from my 2700x purchase.(update it's running great as the MediaPC, cool,quiet and smooth) Loving this value. Check out my attached screenshots of afterburner CPU utilization and benchmark results. Hope this helps someone!

One concern I would have is possible motherboard support- I did purchase an MSI B450-A Pro MAX that did support it out of the box but I have heard anecdotally that it *theoretically* may not play nice with certain motherboards out of the box due to it listing as a 1000 series part but internally it is 2000 series. Very old BIOS revisions of other mobo's may not post or error out attempting to get to OS?
Performance is fantastic out of the box, boosts up to 3.7GHz, and stays there, when ram is set to A-XMP (16gb 2933MHz dual channel CL16 here) and during all core sustained settles at 3.45GHz with barely any heat. Mine benches somewhere between the R5 1600X and the R5 2600.
Currently with the 1600AF being sold in the USA for $85 and the R5 3600 being on sale regularly for $175 gaming has never been cheaper with CPUs. If you have the budget spring for the 3600 however I am 100% happy long term with the 1600AF. Room to upgrade but I likely won't need to for a long time.
