A Closer Look:

Flip top

Under the sleeve

Another box

Finally a PSU

Box of cables

Manual

    The Ultra X3 is packaged in a larger box than is usually used for power supplies of this size. The main box is covered by a sleeve, the top of which has a flip up panel with information on the X3 as well as its features. Once the sleeve is off, it's time to open the main box, only to find another box with he X3 logo on the top. This box contains all of the cabling for the Ultra X3. Under the separate cable box is the X3 600w power supply held in foam blocks for protection.


3/4 Front

135mm Cooling fan

    The X3 600W power supply is clad in a black mirror-like finish along with a black fan grill to keep things uniform in appearance. The fan size is listed as being 135mm. This larger fan fills up the space over the heatsinks and circuit board for maximum cooling. Because it is larger, this fan will push more air at lower RPM and with less noise.


Rear Panel

Spec panel

   With such a large intake, all that air needs to go somewhere. The hot air is forced from the rear of the X3 through the honeycomb mesh opening. Also back here is the power switch and connection point for the power cord.


Connection panel

    The business end of the X3 600W is the main connection panel. Some "modular" power supplies still have the main 24pin motherboard cable attached to the power supply. On the Ultra X3 600w, however, nothing is attached; it's 100% modular. To some this may not mean much, but for me it gives me that little extra advantage in hiding or routing the cable. A brushed aluminum plate holds all the plugs in place. All of the plugs are proprietary, which means you won't accidentally connect the wrong cable into the wrong plug.
