Ultra psu's are meh.
Not the worst but definitely not the best.

I know everyone will say "NO" but is this a psu that has a bad rep or just an average psu?

I have an Anet A8 as my project printer and a i3 MK3 for when I want things to work. 

 

I extrude my own filament and haven't saved a penny yet.

Had that same power supply since 2012. Gave it to my friend a few months ago, still going strong. As long as you aren't overclocking and already have it, should be fine for now. I do have to make the obligatory suggestion to consider upgrading in the future though, especially if you upgrade components.

I like good humans and good food

Define average.

 

I just looked up that PSU and I see a forum post by someone saying that this PSU burnt out on them. That was yesterday.

 

So no, it's not reliable.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.
