Introducing FlexForce Cables
FlexForce cables are designed to be easily routed and hidden within
your case. Not that traditional cables were hard to hide underneath motherboards
and behind drives, but with FlexForce you can easily route the cables
without worrying about stragglers or the mass-quantity of zip-ties needed
to bundle the wire's you're routing. Also, the FlexForce design eliminates
the need for sleeving.
These are FlexForce cables. Flat, sleek and UV reactive.
Ultra claims that the design allows air to to travel 30% more effectively
with FlexForce cables than with conventional cables. Of course, if you
hide ALL of the cables, you're improving air flow 100%, right?
Finally! A native 24-pin connector. The last four pins peel off for
20-pin users.
The cables also just
plain look good. They have a shiny "titanium" finish and are UV reactive.
I said UV reactive, right?
The new X-Finity not only gets an improvement in the way the cables
look. Ultra also makes improvements in the cable category by giving us
more connectors. This year, Ultra provides us with four SATA connectors,
two PCI express connectors, a 24-pin ATX connector, even an 8-pin EPS
connector for server board users.

*Four of the pins on the ATX connector can be snapped off for legacy ATX
applications.
So, enough of the cables. What else changed with this year's version
of the X-Finity?
