Last month in the 8-way SLI and Crossfire Power Supply (PSU) Roundup we found that not every power supply makes the cut on the high end gaming systems that we used for testing. One of the power supplies that ended up in our yellow caution zone was the Ultra X-Connect X2 550W power supply. Ultra was logically unhappy with where their product finished in our review. After the article was published Ultra Products started to get feedback from our readers and their current customers. They then took the time to duplicate our test systems in their labs, minus the AGEIA PhysX card, and believe they found the answer to why it didn't do so hot. It was determined that the 12V might have dropped as much as it did because it had very little load on the 3.3V/5V rails.

Figures. I have one of these power supplies. It was a replacement for the blown Xconnect 500W. I will make sure to can this one as well once I build my new rig.

Also, I never saw that this PSU is only rated to handle nvidia geforce6x series in SLI. I only saw an SLI logo.....
