Ultra X-Finity & X-Pro 800W Power Supplies

In the name of voiding warranties and owning noobs, we open up the unit and inspect what we can see. With a rather large heatsink running almost the entire length of the interior, the pair of fans that move air across this heatsink should prove adequate in keeping the power supply cool in any situation.

Moving to the rear of the unit, we see one of the two fans that are used to keep the power supply cool. Directly to the side of the fan, we have the power connector and a switch.

Around the other side of the Ultra, we find another fan and the point where the cables exit the unit itself. In the follow two pictures, we can see the same angle on both the X-Finity and the X-Pro. Notice the difference in the material used to coat the cables.

On the top, we see a sticker giving us all the information that one might need about the power regulation of the power supply. Also found here is a warning stating that should this unit malfunction, please don’t try to repair it yourself, and for god’s sake, if you do, unplug it.

Regardless of the rated power, no power supply is worth its weight if you can’t connect it to your PC. To help out in this regard, Ultra has given the X-Pro and X-Finity power supplies their fare share of connectors.

• 1 x 20+4 pin power connector
• 1 x 8 pin (4+4) pin auxiliary connector
• 4 x SATA power connectors
• 2 x 6 pin PCI-E power connectors
• 8 x 4 pin Molex power connectors
• 2 x FDD floppy power connectors

As we mentioned in the last power supply review, there really isn’t anything to installing one into a case so we won’t go much into detail. We will however talk about our testing procedures and how we come to our conclusions.
