Ultra X3 600W Totally Modular PSU

We have posted up a review of the Ultra X3 600W Modular PSU.  We take a fairly in-depth look at this unit and see how stable it is under real-world conditions.  The beauty of this PSU is its finish - it's flawless.  Being totally modular, even the 24-pin motherboard connector is removable for easy installation in almost any system.  Take a look and start drooling.

Ultra has provided a plethora of cables for massive amounts of connectivity with this unit.  There is a total of 16 additional cables with this unit that allow connecting a total of 19 devices, including three fans + motherboard connections.  If you need more devices inside your case than that, well, maybe you should build a second computer instead. . .

We'd love to hear your feedback.  Please post it here!

It's really too bad that Ultra products are only available at TigerDirect.ca at the moment, and we know how bad that reseller can be.

Did you also notice how the charts of efficiency on Ultra's website is strange? Let's say that 800W, it's labelled Energy Efficient, meaning 85% efficiency at typical load. But if you look at their graph, it never reaches such efficiency.

That's a really interesting note Luvlyan.  I browsed through the specs of the 800W as well as the 600W.  Just to also note, the 600W version is reported to run 85% efficient.  In the future, we'll be able to either confirm or deny this information.

Great! I was just about to ask you if you could measure the efficiency of this power supply. Hopefully you will be able to get the proper hardware (without destroying your bank account) to do so in the near future.
