Technology Overview
The Ultra X3 1000 Watt PSU is both functional and attractive. The outer shell has a platinum mirrored finish that compliments its quality feel. The end of the unit sports all of the required modular connections to marry up to the included cabling.

Total Output Power: Input |
The Ultra X3 is rated for a total of 1000 watts of peak power. The +5V and +3.3V outputs combine for 160W at 28 and 24 amperes respectively. +12V power maxes out at 840W and 70 amperes while -12V and +5VSB outputs combine for 19.7W and 25W.
One item worth mentioning is what Ultra dubs Flex-Force Technology, which is a fancy name for extremely flexible cables. The cabling is the easiest to manipulate, most flexible cabling we've encountered in a PSU, with virtually no spring or memory to it at all. The idea behind Flex-Force Technology is to be able to easily route the cables so they can be hidden for maximum airflow within a case. After setting up this PSU in a test case, we found the cables to be the easiest we've had to work with to date.
