Ultra X3 800-watt Modular PSU

Introduction

Ultra’s X3 800-watt Modular Power Supply is the upper-middle class guy in the X3 neighborhood. He hangs out in the modular part of PSU-ville and drives some serious wattage – but nothing over the top like his 1600-watt neighbor. And for the majority of systems out there running enthusiast-class, top end gear, 800-watts is generally more than enough.
 
If you’re in the market for a new PSU, consider giving up the excess wattage you’ll never see on that Core Duo rig, and put the difference in price towards some hardware that will really take advantage of the juice the mid-range X3’s are already cranking out.
 
 
 
 
 
Every model in Ultra’s X3 line that Bjorn3D has reviewed has provided very clean, reliable power; and with FlexForce modular cabling, there’s also enough artistic zing to give you a reason to polish that case window. If you pair the X3 with a self-modded box or Ultra’s stock m998, it suddenly meets the design principle of Form Following Function, affording “30% better airflow than ordinary cables,” according to the manufacturer.
 
All things considered, the X3 800 is money well-spent for an MSRP of $249.99 if you’re hunting for a topnotch PSU that will take you in to the foreseeable future, although there are some cheaper and comparable alternatives.
