As you can tell by the above box picture, today's review sample will be the brand new Ultra X4 1200 watt unit. It's been quite some time since we last looked at an Ultra product here at the site, and I for one am excited to see what the company is up to lately.

Oh lord... OKWolf gave some dark hints about this one early in the week. Let's find out HOW bad it is...
I was satisfied (but not impressed) with the performance of the 850W X4, but this is thoroughly disappointing. If they beefed up the primary a bit and called it a 1050-1100W it would be acceptable, but it still wouldn't complete well with the rest of the market.
My thoughts - they'd have been better off basing the 1200W unit on a downrated version of that 1600W monster instead of trying to stretch this platform so far.

Supposedly, I have the 750W version coming. I'm really anxious to see what this platform can do at a lower power.

He probably doesn't like getting paid in bottle caps and dryer lint though


I'm already having trouble getting bills paid this month. And with a 1500W monster coming up next week, too.

Ultra CS is pretty good too. They upgrade you if they're OOS.

Makes sense. I doubt they could get the downgrade over on too many folks.

Oh please, Ultra x3 were rated among the best of PSUs. Stop living in the past. Ultra was bad like 5 years ago.

Finally some one with some sense. We're a fanboy website here, corsair or nothing.

No Nvidia is better than Cosair.

Where did I imply that Ultras have always been bad? You of all people should have taken my words literally, I never meant anything by what I said except... well, what I said! I've never been misinterpreted so blatantly before, in fact it wasn't long ago (I can't find it now) where I'd posted saying the X3s were good units, and some X2s. So, how do you take "OKWolf made some dark hints about this one, let's see just how bad it is", and turn it into "I think Ultra PSUs are bad"? Wolf's words gave me that expectation, that the X4 would be bad, nothing more.

Besides the pointlessniss in this thread. I'm not sure what's more ugly, my mug or this units results.

Sheesh man... I gotta agree with OW, they probably should have downgraded the 1600watt model instead of this.

Though, wasn't the x3 1KW a soupped up 800watt unit?
This one still isn't that bad - it's just not that good either. It's kind of there in the middle between the two.
