BigAkita has a new review up covering Ultra Products beefy 600W X-Finity PSU. Another solid PSU from Ultra.


Check it out here.

Those cables are truly one of the best looking features of the PSU. Ever since I did the review of the Ultra 500W, it has been in my main rig. Performs great, and looks damn good!

I won one of these from the PR holiday 2005 Giveaway and I absolutely love it! The cables really are great and the titanium looks good, too. Great review of a great product....

j/w, I had my eye set on 2 PSUs, the Hyper Type - R and the X - Infinity. I have been using the X - Connect fir a year stable so I decided to stay loyal to Ultra. How come TigerDirect has it rated at 500 here?

Nice review BA , and I think i have a case that just might need one **can we say Aluminus , Thx Foe**

There are the 500w and the 600w X-Finity. If you notice in my post above I linked to the 500w, which I did a review on a few months ago.

Here is the 600w, at TD.

ahh, many thanks.

Hey BA, Great review!!!! I really like this PSU's look and all but I had a question about it... A friend of mine bought one from Tiger Direct and after having to have it replaced once (product box was dented in and so was the lable side of the PSU yet the shipping box was fine... Shady? I think so) but anyway, both had what appeard to be a resistor in heatshrink on the bottom of the PCB which was causing a slight bulge on the body of the PSU and had the PCB warped..... Does the one you reviewed have this same issue?

I didn't notice it, I'll have to look again.

BA, good job on the review but I have a couple of questions.

How quiet is this PSU? would it be a good choice for a quiet PC?
And using the old method of evaluting PSUs, how heavy is it?

Yeah, I was just curious if you noticed... But still..... Excellent review and Excellent Product. I have seen this product and worked with it... I agree with BA's review and Recommend it.....

sweet, i love the new xfinity. i have the 500w version and it stomps all over the x-connect, in stability and looks. great review BA.

one question, what happend to the pros and cons ?

Hi guys,
A long time readers on this site but just recently joined.
BA great reviews on the X-Finity PS. It's a very good product. I'm also a proud owner on one of the first generation X-Finity PS (500Watt) for over a year. It "ALWAYS" run very stable with full loads. Being a gamers like myself I'm very impressed with ULTRA. Now, I'm even more impressed with it's second generation of X-Finity. Especially the FlexForce Cables and the new 120mm fan. Just replaced my 1 year old X-Finity on my mATX case (FragBoxII_DIY) and it was "PERFECT". The cables are very flexible to bent around in my little case. Now it's planty of rooms inside for air flows and runs so much cooler.
PROS:
* FlexForce cables_PERFECT !!!
* 600 or 550Watt of powers with all the connectors you need.
* 120mm fan for greater air exhaust
* Titanium finish
* Low Acoustic Noise
* Runs very stable
CONS:
* Wish they come with clear side windows and lights.
* It would be nice if it comes with different cable lengths

Welcome to pcApex baast, glad you joind. Youll find an endless amount of talent and knowledge throughout this comunity and more than most would be happy to lend a helping hand if its needed.

Heya guys, just recieved my X-Infinity and so far so good. (it's a bit loud). I had one concern. My 12v line using Asus Probe is reading at 11.9, is that ok? (only have 2 180mm fans and 1 sata and 1 ide drive)

Try this application, and see if it answers your questions.

Just an encouragement to Ultra and the PCApex reviewers:

My brother (who's a hardcore gamer and PC expert in his own right, with a master's in CS) was looking for recommendations for a new power supply. So I sent him a link to the X-Finity review, and last night I got an email from him saying he went ahead and bought one. He was originally going to go with a Thermaltake, but the review changed his mind.

Anybody wanna find me a deal on one of these? My X-connect died tonight and i need to replace it with something with a bit more juice...

EDIT:Specifically the new X2

That's pretty cool, FF. Let your bro know that I will be more than happy to school anybody with CS degree on the differences between book larnin' and hands on because you love the hell out of it larnin'. Sounds like you bro is smart in listening to advice. Too many times I speak with some Computer Science graduate and they spout how a Pentium 2 with 128MB of RAM and a Matrox video card is adequate for any application. I just turn to them and state the stats of my system and say, "Guess I got a bit of overkill then, huh?"
