    Comment: AMD have started to use new 45nm core for their unique triple-core CPUs. As a result, there appeared a very attractive solution for the mainstream segment. And taking into consideration remarkable potential of the Phenom II X3 CPUs, we have every reason to conclude that it is going to be a new sales

    The 1st thing I noticed is my CPU temperature is much lower now than my previous CPU (which was a athlon 2500+ from 5yrs ago lol). It is idle at ~30C and most of time will not exceed 50C ( my case only has 1 120mm back fan). Cool n Quiet feature works well. I don't have much luck tuning up the multipliers at stock voltage, but I was able to unlock a working 4th core. (Read More)

    This is a sweet CPU (It may be possible to unlock the fourth core). Regardless, over clock is simple using the multiplier. Would recommend getting an after market cooler as opposed to using the one that comes with. (Read More)

    While the 720BE has one core less than AMD's high-end quad core Phenom II offerings, its price point makes the Phenom II X3 one of the best in terms price vs. performance ratio. With the unlocked multiplier, it is trivial to overclock even when running at stock voltage.

    When I first built my system I chose the Athlon II x2 7850 Kuma Core CPU BE as it could keep pace with a 720 at stock speed and cost 100 dollars less.

    Used this proc in an HTPC build. Sligthtly overkill for that purpose but the comp is also for everyday use and it should last a few years. Great bang for buck. Great performance combined with MB Radeon Graphics solution. (Read More)

    This cpu was great for my first build. I'm currently running it at stock speed on a Gigabyte MA790XT-UD4P mobo, coolermaster 212 hyper-plus heatsink, 4GB Corsair ddr3, and xfx 1GB 4850.
