    Question Ultra X-Connect 500W Titanium with UV Blue OR Hiper HPU-4B580 Type R 580W

    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Ultra_X.html
    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Hiper.html

    i LOVE the hiper... but the ultra x has a windowed psu and yes i would be able to see it...
    thing is though the ultra x is less psu power per buck.and the hiper has nicer cables.... so i dunno which to choose LOL....

    which one and why?

    PSU = one of the most important components in a smooth running system. Never mind if it looks nice!

    Never had any experiences running an Ultra, but my Hiper has been rock steady since installation (SLI system) and I now have something to put my lunch in for work too.

    On the Abit forums the Ultra X-Connect isn't well thought of - I would go with the Hiper (actually I did ).
    Scan have them too & free shipping.

    My housemate has the Hiper on a heavily overclocked 3200 venice and unlocked x800gto2 setup. I've been very impressed with its stability so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend that psu to you.

    Yep another vote for the Hiper, mine is superb with a PSU its more important how it performs than how it looks, besides the hiper looks great!

    Ultra X-Connect PSU are not my fav tbh.. they have very weak 12v rails and its 500W rating cant even keep my barton running at 2.4Ghz.
    Me want Ultrabook

    Got the Hiper Type-R 480w, solid as a rock. Would strongly recommend it.
