Ultra X3 600w Power Supply - This 600 watt PSU makes our 5th Ultra power supply we have reviewed since March of 2007. While most have been award winners, our last 600 watt unit was not worthy of passing our testing suite. Is Ultra's new 600 watt up to the test?
Editor’s Note: It is sad to see Ultra somewhat repairing their reputation over the last year or so with fine high end power supplies, and then bring back a unit that is not suitable for the enthusiast user. And certainly, that is exactly the target market of the Ultra X3 brand. This is the same “600 watt” power supply we reviewed last March that gave the same lacking performance. Why is Ultra upgrading this unit to “X3” status and not upgrading the internals? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Seeing product marketing like this certainly makes me question the entire brand.
