Ultra Modular 1kW PSU Spy Shots

[Oklahoma Wolf]

So your entire basis is that the company that is now making Ultra power supplies is some great company, yet the power supply they made that I used failed for absolutely no reason after 10 months.

Uh, no, I like the one I'm testing because it's a better made unit than most of the ones Ultra's used before. At no point did I claim they'll have a 0% failure rate. At no point did I claim they were the best on the planet - that's not true either. It's not even the best built one I own... that would be the Etasis built Silverstone I have.

I'm getting the distinct impression you're looking for a flame war... you won't get one from me. I have stated my opinions based on my considerable experience as an electronics tech - you don't have to agree with them, and I don't plan to change them on hearsay... only hard scientific evidence of "crap parts" can do that, and I don't see any in this thread. I'm going to move on now.

I could say i feel the same about MSI, that I got screwed as I have had to replace my northbridge fan 2 times now and it is starting to go again, and that my voltages are unstable due to a piss poor voltage reg on the board. And that this and that....



But all in all it does more han advertised, mabey not as well as others, but I bought it, and choose to keep it.


So if today i go home and it won't boot and my chip is dead, then it is my fault, as I knew of the problems. If you have a PSU that could potentially fail and continued to use it, too bad.

i doubt the PSU will haev a prob yeah 70A on a rail is one hell of a lot but that doesnt make it subpar stop dissing ultra cause you had a bad experience hell ECS made crap for years and ther current extreme series runs just fine for ocing now same with asrock hell my free after rebate mobo oc'd 24% with just .07v over stock just cause something is cheap doesnt mean its bad

i have 2 ultra PSU now a vseries 400watt on a celeron d 351 and a 500watt on a PENTIUM D 930 for crying out load nothing draws more juice than those cpu and both work just fine hell the 500watt hasout lived 2 mobos and cpus already
