Everyone gets one of these,
Sad part about that combo is despite the disclaimer, how many will buy it not knowing that the CPU is totally incompatible with the motherboard? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Me OS Win 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Phenom II x4 955 @ 4 GHz.

Please contact the manufacturer(s) directly if you have issues or concerns regarding compatibility.  I'm not sure whether or not that would be legally valid. An item purchased must be fit for its purpose and without any defects. So as far as I'm concerned (and I'm not a lawyer or have any legal training), I would have to say that it is not fit for purpose as the processor would not work with that motherboard. If Newegg.ca (or indeed any other vendor) wishes to offer motherboard/processor bundles then it is upto them to ensure that the components that they offer as part of that bundle are indeed compatible with each other. Clearly, in this case they are not. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dwarf Dwf/11/2012 OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Service Pack 1 CPU Intel Core-i5-3570K 4-core @ 3.4GHz (Ivy Bridge) (OC 4.2GHz) Motherboard ASRock Z77 Extreme4-M Memory 4 x 4GB DDR3-1600 Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B (16GB) Graphics Card 2 x AMD Radeon HD7770 1GB CrossFired (OC 1100MHz/1250MHz) Sound Card Realtek High Definition on board solution (ALC 898) Monitor(s) Displays ViewSonic VA1912w Widescreen (VGA) Screen Resolution 1440x900 Keyboard Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 3000 (USB) Mouse Microsoft Comfort Mouse 3000 for Business (USB) PSU XFX Pro Series 850W Semi-Modular Case Gigabyte IF233 Cooling 1 x 120mm Front Inlet 1 x 120mm Rear Exhaust Hard Drives OCZ Agility 3 SSD 120GB SATA III x2 (RAID 0)
