What is FlexForce?

Manageable - FlexForce Cables are designed to be easily routed and hidden within your case.

Increased Airflow - Special design promotes easy cable management and 30% better airflow than ordinary cables by easily routing cable under the motherboard, behind drive bays, etc.

Design - Cables are dressed in a sleek looking titanium like finish.

An impressive feature set all around, so let's take a look at what the X3 offers

 

PRODUCT COMPOSITION

I typically don't pay a lot of attention to packaging, but Ultra obviously put a lot of effort into designing a sturdy, attractive box. The outer, red portion is a sleeve, which, when removed……….

Shows the plain, jet-black box, covered in shrink wrap.

Once inside the box, you find another, similar box containing the power cables, the PSU itself, and an instruction manual.

Inside the cable box, you'll find all of the cables needed to connect the X3 to whatever gear you have stuffed into your machine, along with a small bag of mounting screws.

Now that we know what's included, let's take a walk around the X3.
