OCZ GameXsteam 700

[kimandsally]

Just bought one today to replace a Liberty that decided to blow up literally.

I thought I'd put my money where my mouth is as I've always like OCZ products and I'm not too quiet about pushing them because I believe they are a great company.

I cannot speak for everyone but mine is VERY quiet roughly the same as the Liberty and the rails are VERY good, 3.3v is 3.29v, 5v is 5.06v and the 12v is 12.23v all measured with a digital MM.

I haven't done full load tests yet because I haven't had time but it's even better than I had expected, OCZ have come up with the goods yet again, if OCZ made lager it would be Carlsburg for sure. :toast:

Congrats on the new psu, the gameXstream's rule! :toast:

Where'd you buy your PSU from? I've seen a lot of places that have it for around the GBP 100-ish inc vat mark.

Guyz, I have heard in this forum the BEST remarks about this PSU. I am looking forward in buying a good PSU and my options were the OCZ and the Corsair 620HX, with the OCZ being the #1 solution.
HOWEVER, I have seen this:

in comparison with that:

:confused: :eh: :hm: I am certainly NOT ready to use the PSU's full capabilities at the moment (C2D 6600/X1800XT/2GB Ram/2x74 Raptors/1x400 WD/2 DVD-RW) but in the future I wouldn't like to be surprised by it's lack of stability or power...(DX10/quad-core/SLI-CF)

What do you say about this article? Is it to be trusted? I used to trust Johnyguru A LOT in the past...I was ready to buy the OCZ tomorrow and now I am stuck...

They are very reliable, I now look forward to the EvoStreams though.. :)

[jonnyGURU]

They are very reliable..

How do we know? The GameXstream has only been on the streets for four months. ;)

OCZ doesn't make PSU's. ;) Topower, FSP and 3Y make PSU's for OCZ.

Worked all weekend on this: http://www.jonnyguru.com/SMPS_UL.htm :D

I'm sorry I can't become an OCZ fan boy overnight. ;) Question my trustworthiness for not jumping on the bandwagon like everyone else, but I'd like to think that I call 'em like I see 'em. And as great as the guys over at OCZ are and how fantastic their service is, I'm still going to say Corsair over COZ.

I gave the OCZ PSU a high rating DISPITE the ripple readings because the ripple readings are not something I can substantiate as something that can harm other components long term. So in my review, I really don't harp on it too much, but personally it concerns me.

Regardless of my opinion, the facts are that, although still not "the best", Seasonic is capable of making a better grade PSU than FSP. The Corsair is more efficient, quieter, is modular and has a longer warranty (5 vs. 3)

On that same note, the OCZ does have very good efficiency and does put out more power on the ever so important 12V rail. And both companies have a good support staff behind the product too, so if there ever was a problem, I'm sure you'll get the hook up. ;)

Confuse your decision more? ;)

That was the best answer I could ever get, thanx A LOT for your support :)

However, I can't find the Corsair here in Greece and the Seasonic 700 is a bit expensive for me (~260 euros). So, as I was browsing the site, I saw the review of the TT Toughpower750. To be honest, I didn't trust TT for it's PSUs. But this got high rankings (from both you and many other sites) and it's price is f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c (129 euros in Greece). So I bought it today and I hope I did the right thing :cool:

Too bad though for the Corsair, if I could find it I would buy it at once!
