DH Review: Ultra 600W PSU

***Zardon*** · Dec 18, 2004, 08:00 AM

After recently reviewing the excellent Xconnect 500w PSU it is with great anticipation today we have on our review bench the new high end 600W PSU from this innovative American company. A power supply is the lifeblood of your system and when using modern processors and graphics cards its imperative to have a clean, constant feed to all your rails to ensure maximum stability and overclockability.

This 600w varies from the Xconnect model we reviewed in the fact it doesnt use the modular xconnect style connectors but the more traditional design. Ultra also offer a 3 year warranty with their products which isnt to be sniffed at.

i wish i had better luck with my 500 watt.... i'm having difficulties RMAing it though....

no doubt X-Connect will provide a pick and choose your cables setup fairly soon...

Mmm...looksm nice but the thing that made the Ultra 500W stand out was the modular connectors...if the 600W had those I would be getting ready to torture my credit card some more!!

This PSU would have been interesting for me, if they where available here in Sweden...
I have some extra cash to spend atm, or maybe i should say "had" some extra cash...(i just ordered the OCZ Powerstream 520W)

600w is too much, 500w is more than enough for an average high end gaming system
