VectorTensor Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 I have the same psu and for the most part it works fine, but ive noticed when i OC my rig from 3.0ghz to 3.8ghz it drops something wicked.. Even @ 3.6ghz theres a tremendous drop in volts.. [/img] Do you OC and if you do could you check your rails and post your results, just curios if this is typical of these psu or if its just mine. I use Stability test on OCCT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilDriver Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 I am not currently oc'ing any thing in my pc, but when I had my msi mobo in wich I used this psu for a few months(and was oc'ed) I did test it with a digital multimeter. wile I did not test the 3.3v rail I tested 12 and 5, and both showed the same as in windows. so I asume the 3.3v rail was the same and was 3.20+v I get the same results with this mobo. 12v and 5v show same with multimeter as software, and my 3.3 never goes below 3.22v Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oRiOn Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Hey guys, I have gotten around to taking some pics of my main comp and my second along with the area I work in. Pic of Main Rigs Guts: Pic of Main Rigs Setup: Pic of Main Rig on Desk: Another Pic of Main Rigs Setup: Pic of Second Rigs Setup: That is all of them! Oh, the CD Player is hooked up to my main comp and it has 2 speakers along with 2 subs hooked up to it. The big black thing to the right of my second computer's monitor is my tactical vest wich I use while airsofting. Orion edit-- If you have a steel case like a P180 or something like it that looks like stainless steel i would recommend going to William Sonoma in the mall and getting their stainless steel cleaner my mom picked some up and uses it on all of our appliances and I used it on my case and it rocks!

wodan Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Man i love the Ultra X-Connect 500watt modular psu. The design is the best ive seen they just suck in performance, i really hope they get there shiz together and make a revision of that psu with stronger and more reliable rails.... I think they heard you..... on the back of the latest issue of MaximumPC magazine, there is an ad that says "Ultra X-Connect 2 The world's first modular power supply just got better! COMING SOON...". Down below it gives a URL (which doesn't work yet...) www.ultraproducts.com/x2 ... and there is also a logo on the bottom right hand side of the page that says "Dual Rail Technology" .... so how much you wanna bet this X2 is gonna be ATX12V 2.0? The big black thing to the right of my second computer's monitor is my tactical vest wich I use while airsofting. OFFTOPIC :: Hey! Another airsofter! Whats your setup? I'm using a Classic Army G36C with a Tokyo Marui MK23 SOCOM Springer with a full German Flecktarn BDU set and Flecktarn Parka (for those sniper days...) ... no vest or other basic gear yet but I do have an OD Green thigh holster for my MK23 :nod: EDIT : Oh.. and where do you play? I'm in Southern CA too.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilDriver Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 ive got an issue where they reviewed 1.0... and gave it a failing review... it totally bombed and theres an ad on the page right next to it :shake: I personaly believe that review to be botched, as its very likely they used a prototype they were sent for the review according people at Ultra. Maybe I just got one of the good ones thoe. I figure if it was gona do any thing wierd it would have after 8mos 24-7 usage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wodan Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 yea....MaximumPC does sometimes botch up reviews.... but they got good insider pull with big companys and do sometimes report on smaller things that don't hit the major tech websites.

Surfeit Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 Here's my baby. She's getting a bit old, too bad. Here's the intake mod I just finished. I'm going to get a new piece of thicker smoked acrylic with rounded corners cause this current one just ain't what I wanted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
