That's true, but I don't consider them all duds. The X-Finity's fan controller was an achilles heel according to what I can find via Google. The failure of the 1st X4 may have been a freak event.

There isnt anything wrong with 4myrebate, in fact it is one of my preferred rebate companies because I don't have to write anything but signature and return address on envelope.

I bought an Ultra X-Finity 600W titanium (dark chrome) PSU for FAR around 2007. The fan stopped working, although the PSU worked fine. I got it replaced under...

It doesn't have a rating. So it's most likely anywhere between 70% and 80%. Also, see the little red 110/220 switch on the back? That means it's not active PFC. I won't bother explaining the details...

All TigerDirect rebates go through 4myrebate.com, as both companies are owned by Systemax.
A lot of other companies use 4myrebate, and I've used them about six times this year. No problems at...

But you've had to get it replaced 3 times with each time a new one breaking down. Not a fan of that in psus.

I wonder when it became a TD exclusive brand? In years past, I purchased Ultra cases and power supplies from Frys and other resellers...even once at Radio Shack!

Maybe so, but that's what they do. Or maybe they just do it for me because I'm such a charmer over the phone. :lol:

I don't think you could pull 700W from this unit. 22A on each +12V rail? At best, this is a 600W unit, but it's probably lower. Ultra has a history of "optimistically" rating their PSUs.
