Thinking about upgrading your high performance PC?  These days adding a new video card or even an upgraded processor can trigger a domino effect of necessary upgrades.  More often than not upgrading the power supply is critical to the life and performance of your new build.  Today we will be looking at the latest 800 Watt Ultra power supply; the X-Finity.

     Ultra Products first came to my attention with the Ultra X-Connect series of power supplies.  Love them or hate them; there is no denying the fact that these modular units helped make modular power supplies so common today.  The X-Finity packaging is both attractive and packs a lot of useful information onto the cover.  The most appealing features to me are the Quad +12V rails and the SLI certification.  Of course, the 800 Watt rating can't be all bad!  The X-Finity is also covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty that must be triggered through an online registration process.  This new warranty shows Ultra Products commitment to product quality.

     The sides of the package echo the information found on the front.  It may be hard to tell from the images but the X-Finity also uses a rather unique look for the cabling also they call FlexForce.  The packaging does a nice job of covering the connections and specifications but the actual power ratings and rails are not listed on the packaging at all.

"NEW! X-Finity 800 Watt PSU with Active PFC
The sizzling new X-Finity 800W APFC PSU delivers the perfect combination of stability and continuous power while also utilizing Ultra’s award-winning FlexForce cabling system for improved airflow and aesthetics. This new X-Finity 800W includes Active PFC (power factor correction) and is housed in a sturdy black anodized aluminum housing. The X-Finity's components are cooled by two 80MM fans.

Ultra's specially engineered FlexForce cable design promotes easy cable management and 30% better airflow than ordinary cables by allowing easy cable routing under the motherboard, behind drive bays... anywhere that gets typically unsightly power supply cables out of the way of airflow." ~ Ultra Products

What is FlexForce? Manageable - FlexForce Cables are designed to be easily routed and hidden within your case. Increased Airflow - Special design promotes easy cable management and 30% better airflow than ordinary cables by easily routing cable under the motherboard, behind drive bays, etc. Design - Cables are dressed in a sleek looking titanium like finish.

	What is AST (After Spin Technology)?
	After Spin Technology is used to quiet the system and aid in prolonging the life of your components. Connectors for chassis fans are thermostatically controlled; RPM's are reduced when temperatures inside the case are low. PSU, chassis and CPU fan connectors remain spinning several minutes after the PC is powered down allowing the system to gradually cool down after use.
