Anyone familiar with the old fighting game Primal Instinct knows the significance of hearing that word. Much like Mortal Kombat, primal instinct used a combo system and the Ultra Combo was the best one. By the time you finished off the combo, your opponent was so beaten and bruised, your victory was all, but assured. I remember jubilantly celebrating when I would pull one of those combos off as I finished local rivals. Now, I'm older, but when I heard I was given the chance to review the X3 1000 watt power supply by Ultra, I celebrated like I did of old with a fist pump in the air for good measure. For the last few months, I've been considering a SLI setup with dual 8800 GTX's, but I knew my 650 would probably have problems with providing the needed power. I already have one GTX, but I also have 3 SATA II hard drives, a DVD-RW, CD-RW, 3 USB hard drives, and about 4 other USB devices plugged into my computer. Another GTX might take it over the edge. Just from reputation, I knew the Ultra X3 1000 has what it takes to handle SLI without breaking a sweat. Not to mention, Ultra is very well known for the quality of its hardware. I wasn't going to miss out on the opportunity to put this thing through its paces.

Except for those running a massive system that includes a good deal of the latest hardware, 1000W is more power than you could possibly need. During the course of the review, the Ultra Products X3 1000 Watt modular power supply came close to powering two full systems, and there was still plenty of power left to toss much more hardware at it.

Ultra, a word derived from the Latin word meaning 'beyond'. Used as a prefix it indicates greater than normal quality or importance. Living up to their name ULTRA is known for bringing products to the enthusiast that could be considered beyond that of the normal. For years ULTRA has been on the forefront of the computer enthusiast scene giving us products from Cases and Power supplies down to Flash Drives and Mp3 Players. Today we have the opportunity to take a look at one in an ever growing line of power supplies from ULTRA, enter the X3 1000W Energy Efficient Modular Power Supply. Boasting a whopping 1 Kilowatt of power for you to play with while retaining 85% energy efficiency and full range active PFC. While ULTRA's claims look pretty good on paper I am curious to see what this unit can do once we get it on the bench.

As soon as I opened the box and looked at the specs of the Ultra X3 1000W ATX power supply the famous song "I've Got The Power" popped in my head :) Single +12V rail with whooping 70A! I bet it's something you wished for.

The Ultra X3 proves itself to be a tough product to beat. Modular cabling ensures that you only use the cables you need, and the FlexForce design allows for easy cable routing and improved airflow. The fit and finish is excellent, lending a classy look to the PSU. Voltages remained steady under the harshest testing I could come up with, and to top it off, it performed in relative silence. Add to this Ultra's lifetime warranty, and you have a definite winner.
