Power - its what we need to run this addiction of ours. The more the better, is the current thinking. With the newest video cards using up to 300 watts of power, its no wonder that power supplies are beefing up to meet that demand. Many people, howe...

How well does this power supply work? The voltage drop from Idle to Load on the 12 volt line was a measly .02 volts. The numbers for the 5 volt and 3.3 volt lines were even better than that, at .01 volts and .001 volts, respectively. Pretty tight volt...

Video Review: What separates the Ultra X3 1000W Modular Power Supply from the many other's that are on the market is it's completely modular. Some power supplies within the 1000W range claim to be modular, but the main motherboard leads are still hard wired into the power supply. This power supply comes with a very quiet 135mm fan which provides fantastic cooling and means this it can be used in almost any environment. I also like the fact that the Ultra X3 line of power supplies ranges from 600 watt...

The Ultra X3 1000W PSU that we have on the bench today is the second 1kW PSU weve tested. Back in October we had a look at the Thermaltake Toughpower 1000W unit, and today we are looking at Ultras 1000W offering and will see how it stacks up. This...

This is really tough to draw a conclusion on this PSU. For the average consumer its going to be great. It looks fantastic, has modular connections, is quiet and provides many systems with enough power to run flawless for months, if not years on end...

Today’s power supplies are a far cry from those that were available just a few years ago. With the increasing power demands of the latest GPUs and high-end processors, the need for ample, stable power has increased exponentially. With more and mor...
We found the Ultra X3 to perform rather well. With our testing focused on efficiency, the Ultra X3 PSU tracked closer to the performance of the 750 watt Thermaltake ToughPower, while the Tagan TG1100 was the most power hungry of the three models test...

Some people say a 1000 watt PUS is overkill, but with video cards demanding a lot of power 500 - 600 watt power supplies dont seem to cut it anymore. So, 1000 watts isnt too much, especially on dual graphic card systems.The Ultra Products X3 is prob...
