Ultra Products X2 550W Modular Power Supply
Friday, March 3rd, 2006 | News, Power Supply Reviews
The original concept of the modular power supply, which Ultra was the pioneer of, was a really cool way to minimize the clutter in your computer and just make things that much more manageable. Combined with good looks these power supplies made a good buy at a not too high price.
The X2 550W Modular Power Supply with titanium finish takes off where its predecessor left off. It comes with a large, very quiet fan, installed at the top under a grill. The most notable improvement is the changing of the cables. Although the modular idea was cool, the thick rounded cables from before offered a lot of challenge as they were not very flexible and tight corners sometimes made them unusable.
Ultra have addressed this problem by changing the cable into flat style cables. This makes them a lot easier to bend and move around but they still maintain their ability to be taken off when not in use. The cables are UV reactive which is cool for those that like things to glow.
However the same old negatives remain, and although the power supply does well in looks and installation, it doesn’t do so well in efficiency. This makes the most difference for high power users, but is indicative of an area where they could be improved.
