To test the Ultra Products X3 power supply we used the French stress-testing program OCCT (Ocbase et OCCT - L'union des overclockers - OCCT Official Website) which works in conjunction with Motherboard Monitor 5 to record the minimum and maximum voltages recorded over a 30-minute time period while continually subjecting the system to a constant load.

Processor:	AMD 3500
Motherboard:	DFI NF4 Ultra SLI
Memory:	Mushkin 2 GB PC-3200 Redline
Video Cards:	2 - Gigabyte 6600GT SLI
Hard Drives:	1 - Western Digital WD5000AAKS 3 GB/s 500GB
Cooling:	CoolIt FreeZone TEC Cooler
Case:	Zalman Fatal1ty FC-ZE-1 Chassis
Fans:	2 - 120mm Fans

We pause the test a 10-minute intervals so we can change positions of the leads on our Fluke 180 Series Multimeter.  That way we will be able to record the high and low voltages of the 3V, 5V and 12V rail the built-in feature on the meter.  This can be achieved with the Fluke 180 series since it is capable of recording a high and low range of voltages.  The test probes will be directly connected to the Molex connector and a common ground will be used for all tests.
