Hey everyone!

Just wanted to ask someone for some help. I'm trying to decide on what power supply I should be going with. I've been told that Ultra has a pretty good PSU but I've also been told that the capacitors blow with in a year. Is this true or NOT?

I own a Asus P4C800-E Deluxe

Here look at my system near the bottom of this page.

My question is . Whats and form factor and does it help me decide what a proper PSU would be for my computers MO? I read on some of the forums that the "Ultra" http://www.tigerdire...&Tab=11&NoMapp=

has a high amp. and that some boards don't like that. I've tried to find out if my board is one of those before I go and buy that PSU. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

It depends on what Ultra you are planning on getting as with many manufactuers they make good ones and they also make cheaper models, I have a Ulta X connect 500w and I have over a year and yes it does have high amps on the rails but that is a good thing. I have never heard of a board that has problems with that and I don't think you should worry about it. I always recommend high amp psu's with todays newer components.

The Ulta will work with your board the only thing is if your board has a 24 pin connector the Ulta comes with a 20 pin so you would then need a 24pin to 20 pin adapter

If your board has a 20 pin you don't need the adapter

Thx for the replies guys.

My board is a twenty pin so I will not need the adapter. Again thx for the advise.
