Where to Post??

Although a lot of people seem to dislike it, I absolutely LOVE my Ultra 500w PSU.

Only quirk it has it a hot +5v, under multimeter (with loads) it reads 5.6v and when the PC is idle 5.8v. My other voltages are ROCK SOLID.

Under load, running the following:
15K hitachi SCSI + 10K Hitachi SCSI
1x160 + 1x120 8MB Maxtors
3.7GHz Prescott CPU
6800NU

Running 2 instances of Prime w/all disks defragging + 3DMark 2k5, my voltages from a multimeter read +11.9v on the 12V (12.2 idle), +5.6v on the 5V (5.8v idle) and 3.4v on the 3.3v (3.4v idle)

One hell of a PSU, although the cables are showing wear from being in a cramped case. (The plastic is popping out of the power connectors). Also, I broke an ATX connector on a motherboard because the PSU's atx cable is too big and bulky. But the mobo survived intact.
 
from what this forum has posted ... Ultra is the worst one out of all .. anything form antec or something ...
 
zim, lol

paidless, you are very fourtunate nik is not on and someone nice like zim posted first 🙂

Questions like this usually go in the general hardware forum.

I dont reccomend modulars, but if you feel you must have one, get the antec neopower (way overpriced) or OCZ modstreams
 
the only reason i want modular is because i dont know how to/ dont want to cable manage and shrink wrap my cables

You don't have to shrink wrap your cables, just use zip ties and route the wires cleanly 🙂
