Conclusions
The new Ultra X2 is a significant improvement
over their original X-Connect unit. It's not only stunning to look at,
but is of the highest quality, right down to that mirror-like titanium
finish. Most importantly, it offers plenty of juice and very solid
performance. Tests proved this, as I even attempted to run two
different products featuring TECs. The larger fan is definitely a
treat and runs very quietly. The biggest improvement was also the new
Flex Force cables that are very easy to manage. They can be bent and
twisted around with ease and the modular connectors are much smaller and
take up less space. Reliability is key here also. I still run
two of their power supplies, both of which have been extremely reliable and
trouble-free.
With its stunning new design, high reliability and
solid performance, it earns our highest recommendation.
More information on the new Ultra X2 can be
found on the
Ultra Products Website.
They are now available at
Xoxide.com and come
in two flavors, the
standard Titanium model and
one to please the case modder, which features an LED fan and a lighted
window. Their full Ultra lineup

I know the only negative I posted was its price
tag. I only added this because I know not everyone can afford a $100
PSU. However, you should note that price alone should not be
the primary determining factor in your decision for a quality power supply.
Why do I say this? As an example,
this
unit, which I reviewed quite some time ago, is considered the highest
quality PSU money can buy. However, this particular unit failed on me
about two months ago. In fact, it was quite scary as I was just
working on my computer when I heard a very loud bang and the system
shutdown. All I'll say is that I would personally only choose a select
few brands and Ultra happens to be one of them.
