New 600W Evostreams just about to ship.

[Tony]

Fully modular, I beleive we have 700W versions also shipping the same time although i will have to confirm this. The 600W has been on my test bench for 2 months now and I believe the Evo line is the best PSU's we have built to date. These things are beasts.

Even though they are fully modular they do have quite high specs, im not going to post ripple etc as this is a forum exclusive leak, I will let reviewers quote official spec's etc.
Im unsure on the MSRP but will get back once prices are fixed. for now some nice pics.

Sweet! I cant wait to see some reviews and pricing. I've been holding off for a awsome modular PSU, hopefully this'll be it.

Personally now, IE Tony talking I think they are beasts, I have 3 600's and a 700w, some are early Alpha builds and they are all super strong.

Some will have wanted partially modular, we had a lot of requests for fully modular though and this is the direction we went.

[Oklahoma Wolf]

OEM looks to be 3Y Power - a company I'm not familiar with. Since they declare themselves to be primarily an industrial PSU maker, I have high hopes for these.

LOL already you want to know who makes em, I will say its NOT Fortron...they actually don't make PSU's and its not Topower.

So the E***eStreams are being cancelled ?

[Oklahoma Wolf]

LOL already you want to know who makes em

OCZ left the UL file number for 3Y on the side of that unit - not hard to trace it ;)

[Tony]

The PSU lines have been juggled somewhat as we moved to a new OEM and worked on the designs with them.Elite may disapear yes.

We have a rash of PSU's all launching hopefully before Xmas...this is just the start.

[Tony]

OCZ left the UL file number for 3Y on the side of that unit - not hard to trace it ;) it no big deal man...i just wanted the not so investigative peeps to know who its not.

[Oklahoma Wolf]

Hehe - np. I look forward to seeing what these can do :)

[DAK1640]

I've always felt OCZ built a quality PSU...I have them in all 4 rigs

[cadaveca]

Wow. Fully modular. Even the ATX connector. But i see no CSA so a while before in Canada?

[cantankerous]

How does this psu compare to the GameXstream series interms of power and reliability?

I was thinking of getting a GameXstream 700w but if you are saying you have other psus out by Christmas I may wait to avoid dissapointment when something better comes out in not too long. I hope you can leak some more info on the other new models shortly.

[Tony]

GX psu's are just fine, this is a little higher end ;)

As I get info approved I will post, for now this is all i can say

[dicecca112]

Tony how does the stiffness of the cables compare to the Modstreams. Those cables were a beast to work with

[Tony]

The main lead is a little stiff...but mot to bad, the rest are quite soft.

You have to remember they have to be flame proof cables, by nature these are not the most flexible.

[kimandsally]

I can't believe my luck, I bought a 600 Powerstream and within 2 weeks OCZ announce the GameXStream.

Yesterday I bought a 700 watt GameXStream and today something better.

Well if the rest of the forum want to know when the next OCZ PSU comes out there's a sure fire way of knowing it'll be the day after I buy this new one, shall I post when I get one to see how long it takes :D

Seriously though I'm a bit of a OCZ nut because I have only ever had good results from EVERY thing OCZ I have ever bought and considering I build PC's for part of my living thats one hell of a lot compared with the normal enthusiast, I'm loving my GameXStream but I've just got to get one of these as when OCZ say it's the best ever that makes my mouth water.

If OCZ made Lager it would be Carlsburg "probably the best lager in the world"

[n-sanity]

Wtf 45 a total on 12v's ? My tripple rail 500w has more then that :O Not modular tho : /

[Tony]

OCP is 15A per line, 4x lines is 60A but the max is a little below this.

[kimandsally]

Thanks for the quick answer, can't wait till see the reviews. Need something to replace my 600W Powerstream

[Praxis1452]

Wtf 45 a total on 12v's ? My tripple rail 500w has more then that :O Not modular tho : /
So what if it has 45amps? Pls explain to me how your even going to come close to 45 amps. More importantly is how well it does in ripple, voltage drop etc...

However Tony there are many more lines of psu's from ocz coming out?

[WeStSiDePLaYa]

well, too be honest, from information provided, and the current specs, unless this thing is almost completely without line ripple or drop, it wont be worth it. imo.

First,

All modular cable design is really really useless, who runs a psu without an ATX cable? so all this is doing is adding alot of extra reistance, not just from the connector, but also the connector being connected to the pcb of the psu.

and those modular cable design just looks poor, visually and functionally. the standard 4-pin molex dont have any sort of locking function, and dont have SATA power connectors with 3.3.v

also, the specs arent anything new.

if this unit is more expsensive than the powerstream series, the only reason it will sell is because of the OCZ name, just like the GX series.


and as side note, even though the mushkin hp-550 is a poor perfoming psu, they have a really solid modular cable setup. sata connectors with 3.3v, and regular molex connectors all interchangable and all with locks.

[Praxis1452]

Modular cable resistance is pretty minimal. Sure maybe you want a better voltage but lets say the voltage on the 12v rails is 12.10v The extra resistance may only grow .03v. I forget the exact numbers but jonnyguru wrote up a whole article on it. I do not understand though why the ATX connector needs to be modular...

I suspect performance will be good. Maybe some people want modular everything? Simple fact is if there is a consumer demand for it why not make money off it?

[p0tter]

Love the finish and looks like the powerstream series, anyone with dimensions?

Don't buy one then

[ahmad]

Partially modular would be quite nice. Better efficiency and no extra cables, unless required.

Maybe if they only made a few partially modular for special order, could be a way of making extra money :)

[Kobaltrock]

I do not understand though why the ATX connector needs to be modular...

It could just be, you can slap 2 of these together to power anything you want. If that is the case, you got the reason why the ATX connector is optional use!:banana:

[Tony]

They are made and shipped, trust me it makes no difference that they are totally modular.

We have beat on these units with test equipment no web site will EVER own and they have stood up to loads extremely well.

I have seen a few home brewed setups that are quite nice though but we needed something a little more specialised.

[Dankie]

Do you guys plan on a non-modular version in the Evostream line (as in a month or two down the line)? Kind of like the Seasonic S-12 and M-12 series?

If they can take that kind of a beating, then I am very interested. OCZ makes kick ass products, and I am in the market for a new powersupply.

How about a topless pic of the powersupply? If you can't do that I understand, but it would be nice to see the inner workings (brands of caps, types of heatsinks, etc.)

Thanks,

Dankie

seems like the OCZ guys are starting to need an ego check.

its pretty bad when they cant accept some critisism, especially when everything i mentioned was more than fair.

Its sad to say, but it seems OCZ is starting to rely on their name too much to sell products these days, of course no one would dare say that around here.

Have you tested the Evostream?... Unless you have proof OCZ's claims are inaccurate..... they can be speaking the truth. Regardless,OCZ has been up front with specs and products shows "xtreme" users products first with pride.

So... lets not flame a PSU no one has tested... yet.

I wouldn't judge a product without getting my hands on it, and testing it thoroughly.
How would you feel if the product comes out, and turns out a hot performer with high efficiency, and really stable rails ?

[p0tter]

Yep, lets wait til we get some xtreme user reviews.

[cadaveca]

Aw, tell me there's a cable so we can run 2 of these together Tony...pls...I'll buy two jsut because of that!

Looking great Tony... can't wait to give one a go.

Would be really nice to power a heavy cooling system off a 2nd psu without a mod..

[BenchZowner]

Aw, tell me there's a cable so we can run 2 of these together Tony...pls...I'll buy two jsut because of that!

They can easily make a Dual ATX Cable ( several ways to do that :D ), but I don't feel like this will come true ( or mainstream should I say ).

[dinos22]

common people take it easy

let's see these in the wild and when users here test them out we'll know how good or not they are

[Anemone]

Probably we'll be getting some beta insights soon, and then many things will become clear :)

[Batman!]

Looks sweet! Gonna be building a highend rig for a friend in a while and these will be the first of my choice. Cant wait.

Any updated ETA?

P.S Any plans for a beasty single rail psu? Replacement perhaps for the 520w powerstream?

[arisythila]

This is awesome.. What would be even cooler is adjustable rails like the power stream! Evostream w/ adjustable rails...

~Mike

[ex2cib]

looks awesome

can't wait to see how it actually performs

and just "because" its modular doesn't mean its bad....

thanks for sharing tony :)

[MaxxxRacer]

The DC out says 3.4v @ 40amps... looks like a typo.

While I do like the modular design, I deffinetly think the 24pin and possibly the 8 pin + 6pin vga should have been left on. it would help with smaller cases (antec p180 would be one) , look a bit cleaner, and be one less fail point.

Now to what I do like.. Active PFC (really wish my powerstream had this), and the single 80mm fan. The low fannage level makes me think this will be a very effecient psu which is a very attractive feature for me. With computers outputting so much heat these days its nice to see the psu not being such a bad offender.

here is the UL listing page...
http://database.ul.com/cgi-bin/XYV/template/LISEXT/1FRAME/showpage.html?name=QQGQ2.E142723&ccnshorttitle=Power+Supplies,+Information+Technolo gy+Equipment+Including+Electrical+Business+Equipme nt+-+Component&objid=1073788681&cfgid=1073741824&version=versionless&parent_id=1073787374&sequence=1

I belive that model YH-5122A(a)might be the correct psu on that page. it makes sense as the data sheet on it is not quite completed. But looking through all of the data I dont see any psu's listed that quite match up, so its hard to say.

and lastly,
Tony, show! me! the Scope! (internet psu impression of jerry mcguire)

[nimrod23]

This is awesome.. What would be even cooler is adjustable rails like the power stream! Evostream w/ adjustable rails...

~Mike


That would be really awesome.

My 520 powerstream is rock solid, this could be like reinforced concrete solid. he he he.


More power to OCZ!!!

[turtle]

They can easily make a Dual ATX Cable ( several ways to do that :D ), but I don't feel like this will come true ( or mainstream should I say ).

While that would be cool, it's just as easy to buy a cheap dual psu adapter, that's what I use in my stacker and it's extremely easy to do. I wouldn't really call two wires a mod. You're going to have deal with with ATX chords running from the top and bottom of the case with dual psus no matter what, unless you don't use a case, and I doubt it'd really be that much more cleanly with a big splitter cable, or whatever you want to call it. They all get hidden or zip-tied in the end anyway. If it's out of a case, I doubt cleanliness is a priority either.

PSU looks cool. Nothing extraordinary, but nice. I would agree with Max that essential cables should be not modular, but if it works and gives stable rails, who can complain?

Look forward to test results. :)

[vudoodoodoo]

Good stuff.

[cirthix]

ocz, you only need to make 3 power supplies in your entire lineup. here's the necessary features:


Cable management:
partially modular- 24pin (20+4 connectors ON ONE CABLE, split out at the end like some rosewills), 4+4pin (once again, one one cable) p4 power plug

detachable cables: use locking connectors that are proprietary and yet backwards compatable to normal extension cables for the sata and hdd/cd

4x hdd plugs, 4x pcie power plugs, 4x sata power plugs. that should cover just about anyone. have the cables be a purchase-time option

have the wires be ALL sleeved in the same way that the modstream line is

Appearance:

the shiny metallic black color suits power supplies well, as do the sicker style that you already use. use silver fan grills instead of gold ones.

have fan led color a pruchase-time option

performance:

EFFECIENCY- keep it as effecient as possible, even if it costs a little more aim high
power delivery:
30a on the 5v and 3.3v is sufficient for any computers nowdays
12v is important. this is where your value/mid/highinto play
value: 1x20a line
mid: 1x30a line
high: 1x20a+1x30a lines


cooling:

one 140mm fan. what's hard with this guys? keep this thing silent. give a little high/med/low switch on the back (12v/7v/5v would make this nice and easy, have the leds driven directly off of hte 3.3v rail so they don't get dim)

honeycomb back panel

features:
auto 115/230v detection
active pfc
adjustable rails (12v rails independently would be nice)
high effeciency
fan control switch
BIG on/off switch. why make it little? big switches are easier to change

Pricing:

low=75 or so (comparable to the modstream 520 when it's on sale. thsi one woudl be a little weaker, so it's cheaper)
medium=100 (nice psu, not too high priced)
high=150(pricy, but it's really nice)

I can't understand why you would think of critising without having tried one, OCZ are not relying on their name they have tested this for 2 months with Tony who we know we can trust totally, he has NEVER done anything but help on this forum or any other he visits, when he says it is the best OCZ have produced I trust his word.

OCZ invest heavily in making sure their products are way better than the opposistion otherwise they couldn't offer the best warranty in the world, if their products were failing they would go bust end of.

If I were OCZ I would be more than angry that everytime a new product is launched someone has something negative to say, the other companies who don't care as much for their customers still make a nice living from it so OCZ is VERY special they are looking after our needs and care about us.

So if anyone has any other negative remarks please keep them until you have bought one and tried it because you then will be in a position where I would listen.

[gundamit]

seems like the OCZ guys are starting to need an ego check. I wouldn't read too much into the terse reply. I think Tony is just saying the PSU isn't for everyone.
its pretty bad when they cant accept some critisism, especially when everything i mentioned was more than fair. Your comment about the modular ATX connector was spot on, but the rest might be a bit premature. Its sad to say, but it seems OCZ is starting to rely on their name too much to sell products these days, of course no one would dare say that around here.Sure people would dare. You just did, and you're not unique. Do you remember the crapstorm when OCZ came out with their honeycombed heat spreaders for their memory sticks? Why wouldn't OCZ use the value in their brand identity (established with a lot of great products) to promote new products? If they were partnering up with manufactuers with poor QC they would be shooting themselves in the foot, but I'm guessing they're taking great care to protect the value in their brand identity, and know exactly the market segment they're appealing to with each product.

Lets be careful with our own resources. We need more guys like Tony, and more companies like OCZ on these forums, not just to promote their products, but to do some heavy lifting, prodding, poking and helping the members to get more out of their hardware. Remember they're people too and have an emotional attachement to the work and products they represent. So go easy and lets try to keep our critiques positive.

[cantankerous]

My powerstream 600w has been extremely reliable to me and has help up very well with the past couple systems I have built. It has NEVER given me any power related issues and even after 2 years of use the rails are still rock solid when testing with a DMM. I can't imagine these newer psus really being that much better! I miss how the later generations of PSU's from OCZ don't have adjustable rails or those special shielded cables. Those cables may for the most part be gimmicky but from what tests I have seen done on them they do work. I even bought a pack of these seperately to have everything that is powered from the PSU using these cables. I would LOVE and buy in a heartbeat a quad 12v PSU with a total of 60A if it had adjustable rails and those special cables.

[Tony]

Its as simple as this:

The designs were done 9 months ago, they will NOT change just because a few don't like them...im sorry.

We are trimming the product lines, we have guys who work for OCZ who make and made the decissions months ago...im sorry you do not know what we are doing and anyway, we can't change what we decided.

We have 1KW+ psu's none modular coming also as well as modular i hear to 1KW also, if you like none modular we are catering for you also.

Regarding my comment to not buy one...it was as simple as that...if you don't like it don't buy it....im getting tired of people moaning as soon as we release specs. If I don't like something I just buy what i like..please do the same but let people who do like what they see make their own minds up.

Im not going to debate this any more, OCZ have a plan in place and we are sticking to it.

[el rolio]

i;'m building a couple machines soon, im sure the GX, S-12, or one of these depending on price WILL be in each of those machines. GO OCZ GO. hi my name is roli, and im a ocz-fanboy

[smids]

Oh pants - and I only bought a 700W GX a month ago. It's not that much better than my current one is it? :(

[Oklahoma Wolf]

We have 1KW+ psu's none modular coming also as well as modular i hear to 1KW also

*Crosses fingers and hopes for OEM Zippy* :D

[Helmore]

Yeah I would love a decently available PSU with a single 12V high power, think about 50A-70A, rail. I would be willing to pay around €200-€250 for it, as long as it isn't too noisy. I don't really care about modular or non-modular, modular is a nice bonus but it'll both work well for my needs as long as the cables are long enough (55cm for the 24-pin and 8/4-pin mobo cables at least)

[Smoken Joe]

Thanks for the heads up Tony the PS and GX have really ben the best of the best I cant wait to see the rest of the line up. I am not at all interested in modular but the others should be of intrest. Don't get to upset by the comments it is only natural for people to try and pull you down when you are on top.

I am really interested in what will be better than the GX that will be a very tought act to follow. If you have any input please continue to make them practicly silent even under heavy load- talk about icing on the cake.

[BlaqMale]

damn, just bought a thermaltake toughpower 700w modular but i think i'm linking the ocz more, well the cables at least.

i think 100% modular is stupid but to each his own, never heard of 3Y POWER TECHNOLOGY INC b4 but... whatever

awaiting a review, info on wattages being offered, price etc.

[Oklahoma Wolf]

never heard of 3Y POWER TECHNOLOGY INC b4

Took me some time to remember where I've heard of them before:

http://www.fsp-group.com.tw/english/4_about/1_brand.asp

4th paragraph down ;)

[Xavior]

Do you have an indication of price? Also, what's the benefit of going back to 80mm fans?

I planned on getting a GameXStream, but I might go for the EVO if it's worth the wait.

[Helmore]

Do you have an indication of price? Also, what's the benefit of going back to 80mm fans?
Prolly the fact that you can put bigger heatsinks in the PSU and the airflow path will be better this way.

[Tony]

As soon as I get MSRP I will post it, as of now I have no idea on pricing.

To clear a few things up, this psu is higher end than the GX units, Initial shipment is 600W units, i do have 700W here so these may be next although I do know we can push the design to well over 850W if we need.

Ryan was even talking of 1KW+ if we needed with some slight changes...out of all the psu's I have had here i think this is our best, even without POTS.

One last thing, i asked for the lines to be 12.2, 5.2 and 3.4V, I will see what the retail is like but my last beta was right on the money ;)

[cantankerous]

nice to see you are requesting slightly higher ratings on the lines. Even with dipping under load it should be well adequate to hold up stability wise under pressure.

[jonnyGURU]

Well I know how much ours cost, and I know not many sites could afford it ;) or really would want to afford it..LOL
I have seen a few home brewed setups that are quite nice though but we needed something a little more specialised.

:rolleyes:

[Phosphate]

Nice. I will probably buy one of these for my next computer.

Despite what people say about modular I just like the fact that I can only use what cables I need. With my relatively stripped down system I have most of the cables from the Antec Neo HE 550 back in the box. Really I only need a few of the many cables provided for my set-up.

[drtitanium0]

Im hoping there will also be models witha red fan cause the blue fan would run the look of my system.

[DamienKC]

although I agree with WSP on a couple points, for the most part, it's a little early to make assumptions. The way I see it, OCZ is just trying to cater to EVERYONE'S wants, one psu line at a time. So give them some time and there will be something for everyone, this just happens to be one of them. If it's not liked, fine, don't buy it; Just wait for their next line (the 1kw non modular he was talking about is a perfect example).

Maybe i'm a little off base, but I doubt it =)

[masterofpuppets]

I was looking forward to a new OCZ PSU with a single beefy 12v rail :( These still look promising though, just not what I'm looking for :)

EDIT: However if there were a feature to combine the rails, and some external pots, I'd buy one ;)

[Budwise]

with the incoming G80 and R600 why are we still seeing so many PSU's with quad rails yet all are rather small? I can understand dual rail, but quad? If OCZ would make a PSU with less rails, but more Amps per rail id surely be interested. 2 X 30A would be SWEET.

[Zone^55 Live!]

You have the BeQuiet DarkPowe 600W with 2 rails 20A.

But whats the problem with the quad rail power suplies?? They are not independent....


Stay well! :cool:

[uOpt]

Still no separate 8-pin and 4-pin EPS12V? :(

[LordJMann]

How does the sound levels from Evostream compare to that of the GameXstream?

[Shift]

I think they are the same. Tony said it was more powerful than the GXS, and the GSX were always silent.

[uOpt]

How does the sound levels from Evostream compare to that of the GameXstream?

Given same power, same generation but one with a 120mm fan inside and one with 80(?) mm outside I suspect it is louder.

[marauder16]

Tony, can you please post the dimensions and the cable length, I suppose you're allowed to do that? (I have P180 so it's crucial to have cable lengths...) please :toast:

EDIT: And I just looove that I can connect a molex directly to the PSU, I wonder why didn't smb remeber to do this before, go OCZ!

[thelostrican]

Im not going to debate this any more, OCZ have a plan in place and we are sticking to it.

world domination eh!:eek:
lol:toast:

[phelan1777]

I am not saying this to down the Evo, but as mentioned before about MOD PSUs, it just seems to me more resistance then nessecary as well as potential failure points.

HOWEVER should this PSU prove to be a performer then I would be tempted as, wire management & performance would be a key selling point for me.

I am currently debating get a 700W GXS for 109$ after rebate and modding it because I want to re-sleeve the cables, (Can't find a white PSU!!) but with the Evo it would make things a little easier, though I would have to still paint the PSU shell anyway for my case mod.

Thank you for the info and the pics Tony.

Yeah, I noticed too, any ideas on dimensions? 150*140*86mm I hope? and 700w version below 200$, in a perfect world... :(

Modular connectors need extra space inside PSU.

So what if it has 45amps? Pls explain to me how your even going to come close to 45 amps. More importantly is how well it does in ripple, voltage drop etc...

However Tony there are many more lines of psu's from ocz coming out?

Easy there bud. He said it was going to be a sneak peek for forumites. Let the unit come out in the open market. I'm sure JonnyGURU will review one for all. :)

[el rolio]

Same size as their 600W Powerstream. No big deal killer.

A maximum of 40 Amps (480 watts) for the 12V rails is pretty darn good for a 600 watt PSU. Too bad it isn't a single rail. :D

It's good, but they could have done it better :) the HX520 is a 520w psu that produce 40A on the 12V, too.

[marauder16]

and only 20A on 5v, I don't believe this'll change in the 700W version... :(

[kimandsally]

Any news yet when these will be available in the UK?

20A only on the 3.3v is a little less though.
