Ultra X-Finity 500 watt Power Supply Review Review

How many times have you read this comment in a forum somewhere?

"Can someone tell me why my computer keeps resetting every time I start to overclock it?"

Did they ever stop and think that perhaps the power supply they had was marginal at best when the computer was operated at its normal speed and just completely winnied out when the system was overclocked? People just don't seem to realize that the power supply that ran that old Duron so well for 4 or 5 years just is not going to cut it when you slap a new motherboard into that box of yours.

What you need for today's motherboards is a power supply like we are reviewing today, The Ultra X-Finity 2nd Generation 550 watt power supply has more than enough muscle to handle about any task you toss at it. So come on along as we check it out in far more detail.
