Wow wu wee wa - Eees vera nice!

AMD Phenom II X3 740 Black Edition - Phenom II X3 Heka Triple-Core 3.0 GHz Socket AM3 95W Desktop Processor - HDZ740WFK3DGI
AMD Phenom II X3 740 Black Edition - Phenom II X3 Heka Triple-Core 3.0 GHz Socket AM3 95W Desktop Processor - HDZ740WFK3DGI

Pros: Unlocked the 4th core with my GIGABYTE GA-880GA-UD3H mobo's BIOS. No problems thus far. No OC just yet. Will let the MX-2 cure.

Cons: Packaging from Newegg is not great. The pink foam had some threads of it in between the pins of the CPU but I just used some air to clear it out. I know there is a box that you can check for 'Rush Handling'. Is there a box you can check for "Don't let UPS smash one whole side of my box in"? Everything seems fine, but sheesh, you don't have to crush the box EVERYTIME.

Modular PS is great, lifespan is OK I guess

Pros: The modular cable are super nice, lots of SATA connections and PCI-e connections as well.

Cons: Red LED?

Overall Review: I've owned it since 10/2010. So 4 1/2 years. The warranty is for 3 years so I guess it did what it said it would. Just glad it didn't take any other components down with it.
