Ultra X-Connect 500-watt ATX Modular Power Supply

“Wow, cool. So why didn’t anyone think of this before?”

That was the first thought that came into my head when I saw this power supply. Instead of all the wires being fixed to the power supply, which leads to all those cables just hanging around in your box, every cable is a seperate component that can be completely removed.

The wonderful part about this is that is removes clutter from inside the box, making it look better, but also improving air flow, which is important to keep things in the computer cool.

This 500 watt power supply does just as it is supposed to, and that is provide clean strong power to your computer’s parts.

According to reviews on this Ultra Power Supply it does just that. All of the voltages supplied to the different components are spot on, except for the 12V which someone reported as being 12.57V, but not too serious.

The 500 watts of power is more than enough to power practically anything you would want to put in your computer, and does a good job supplying that extra power to modern video cards.

The only complaint to be heard about this power supply is the flexibility of the cables. There are a lot of wires on any common component within the computer and when they are put together in a round cable it becomes stiff. Some people reported even having to move components around to get the wires to go in their place.

With the power supply often being the most neglected part in your computer, and standard ones being as little as 250 watts, if you plan on upgrading other things, make sure the power supply is sorted out first.

A great range of colors to compliment a cool custom computer case.
