“OCZ is pleased to announce the launch of the GXS 1010W PSU, the latest power supply in the GameXStream series,” commented Alex Mei, VP of Marketing, OCZ Technology Group. “The GXS 1010 surpasses the power requirements of even the most power hungry next generation components allowing the unit to easily scale with high performance rigs as they are continually upgraded.”

The OCZ GameXStream 1010W features active PFC (Power Factor Correction) to effectively regulate input voltage and provide superior operation in a wider range of environments and countries with varying voltages.

The 1010W GameXStream is among the most powerful solutions available, yet remains the quietest PSU around ensuring gamers hear their games and not their PC. Kept ultra-cool with a large 120mm fan, the powerful GameXStream still remains virtually silent and supremely cool even at peak loads.

The high-efficiency 1010W GameXStream features a standard-sized power supply form factor resulting in a compact footprint to accommodate virtually all computer towers. The GameXStream PSU connector cables, including quad PCI-Express and a 4/8-pin CPU connector, are wrapped in a flexible mesh promoting a tidy environment inside the case.

All OCZ GameXStream power supplies come backed with an industry-leading three year OCZ PowerSwap Warranty for the ultimate peace of mind. Second to no other gaming PSU, the 1010W GameXStream’s unprecedented quality, power, and performance is the ultimate solution for today’s ultra high-end gaming systems.

ripple? =P

[situman]

soooo they increased by a whole whopping 10watts. let me get excited and drool all over it.

[lowfat]

soooo they increased by a whole whopping 10watts. let me get excited and drool all over it.

The highest wattage GXS before was 850W. a little more than 10watts:stick:

[wedfighter]

is it made by FSP?
and no adjustable pot??
i'll stick with my powerstream until next OCZ PSU w/ adjustable pot coming :D :D

[RyderOCZ]

soooo they increased by a whole whopping 10watts. let me get excited and drool all over it.Its 10 watts over the ProXstream, but as was stated, this is the GXS line which before was 850W as the highest, so its 160W bigger.

You guys that don't like the 80mm fan in the PXS1000 should prefer this units 120MM :)

[EternityZX9]

And...how bad is the ripple? :p:

Waiting for a review from jonny...

Is this modular?

[lowfat]

I don't believe so. None of the other GXS's are. I'd like to see a 1000W EvoStream.

[mr_knowitall15]

AWWW!!! I JUST bought an 850 too! I wanna swap it out! :(

[xB0n3s]

Interesting any news about the specs of this?

[Frank M]

"Quiet"?
I'll believe that when I see/hear it.
Till then my next psu will most probably be a Seasonic in the form of a Corsair 520.

Oh and also, other specs:
Efficiency? Ripple? Stability? etc.

[OmegaMerc]

This is a press release / announcement, damn some of you guys want a full fledged review with new products?!

[ANP !!!]

At-least my GxS 700w is extremely quiet. :)

[situman]

The highest wattage GXS before was 850W. a little more than 10watts:stick:

Don't they have another model with a 1000watts? If not then I guess I'm wrong, but if I am right why should I get this over that?

[lowfat]

They have a 1000W ProXStream which uses an 80mm fan. At the moment I don't know the difference. Once good reviews show up, we will know more.

[afireinside]

gXs is NOT a quiet PSU.

Quit crying about the ripple. If it was a problem you'd see people who own the PSU having problems. The 700w model can power quadcore and 8800GTX SLI flawlessly, just not at uber high clocks on everything. Still pretty damn good.

What makes the pXs different from gXs?

[Richard Dower]

Good news Ryder!...as you know THIS is what i wanted from OCZ, 120mm blue LED fan..and an extra 10 watts! :-)

But, what connector does it have? Quad SLI?, 8pin EPS and 4pin?, how about 8pin PCI-E?

[Richard Dower]

It's a pity OCZ don't have a "step up" program like EVGA...i'll definately consider buying this to check out.

Quit crying about the ripple? I don't think so. Ripple isn't something that you notice off the bat, it may be awhile before we notice the ill effects of massively high ripple however, users with a fully loaded system have a much greater chance of their hardware malfunctioning/flat out dying to the excessive ripple the longer the unit is used. The ATX specifies up to 120mv max for a reason, not 150+ to be tolerable.

What makes the pXs different from gXs?Why are you saying the GXS are not quiet PSU's...I am so tired of reading this....what do you guys have at home.....Studio rooms with Foam on the walls?

I have 3 GXS PSU's (1x600, 1x700, and 1x850) right next to me here in this room. My Cisco switch makes more noise than all 3 of them.

I have said this about 1000 times, if your GXS PSU runs at full fan speed when the PSU is NOT on FULL load then you need to talk to me....PERIOD.

The fans in these things at 1/2 - 2/3 load spin about 1200 RPM, if that...very quiet.

PXS is the ProXstream, looks more like the old Powerstreams (nice shiny finish, etc) and it uses an 80mm fan which I have been told spins quite fast and is a bit loud, but you have to keep 2 cores cool, so you have to move some air.
GXS uses 120mm fan and they are quiet.

[أشرف]

GXS uses 120mm fan and they are quiet.

Yes. I have a GXS 600W, none of my family is complaining anymore. :)

[[XC] Teroedni]

I hope Ocz send a sample of this Psu to Jonnyguru or Hardcop so we know how well this psu is built:)

[nn_step]

my question is if they fixed the ripple issue that previous editions did have under high load.

[[XC] hipno650]

Yes. I have a GXS 600W, none of my family is complaining anymore. :)


i agree my 700 is perfectly quiet at load and is the shortest psu ever! i love my 700 it has worked flawlessly and is small and quiet. i would pick this one up as my next unit if it has the 8pin pci-e conectors.

[Omastar]

Why are you saying the GXS are not quiet PSU's...I am so tired of reading this....what do you guys have at home.....Studio rooms with Foam on the walls?

Haha, agreed. With my dual 120mm exhaust fans unplugged and the Silverstone FM121 on low I can't hear the fan in my GXS. Some people, quite frankly, would just like to make up a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:y complaint to keep the thread going rather than saying anything new or innovative.

[arisythila]

There a bunch of panzies.... LOL

Nuff Said?

~Mike

[WRC]

hopefully they include the new 8pin pcie connectors

[erwinz]

hope johnny review this.. :)

i'll wait for his review.. :D

[adamsleath]

...another quad rail...i thought big fat single rails were the flavour of the month :)

[grimREEFER]

...another quad rail...i thought big fat single rails were the flavour of the month :)
yea, i would of liked that too. silverstone and pc power and cooling are at that point now, and its only a matter of time before every psu maker follows their lead.
i just bought a silverstone op650 after reading the jonnyguru review. 54A on one rail is pretty sweet.

[Kanten]

Introducing the GameXStream 1010 Watt Edition. For when 1000 just ain't quite enough. :D

Not trying to say it's bad, just saying it's not quiet. Hell I wouldn't even say it's that bad but half the people here at XS seem to think even yate loons need to be undervolted in order to be quiet, and my gXs can be heard loud and clear over my 4 yates. It's quiet at idle but once I load up my 3.8ghz conroe and OC'd 8800GTS, some people here would be throwing a fit at the amount of noise is produces.

Can someone show me the deadly effects of this ripple everyone complains about? This is just like when everyone was running around saying high volts kill A64 then when asked for proof everyone just stared at each other.

[snowwie]

What makes the pXs different from gXs?

diff OEM.

cantankerous, where are the reports of "hardware malfunctioning/flat out dying"? I'd still trust ANY FSP unit on my hardware over the majority of them out there.

They are also very quiet, but then again my noise tolerance is high: I have two med speed deltas on my radiator and music blasting all the time.

[californian7856]

the BFG 1000W one ad a lot of ripple, so is Silverstone OP1000

the only good ones i seen form jonnyguru's review r Enermax 1000W, PC Cool 1000W thats it

maybe u should settle for Silverstone, Zippy, Etasis 850W, but they dont have the 8pin PCI-E ...

Actually, I didn't review a BFG 1kW. And the OP1000 I had was defective. Last month, I re-wrote the review with the replacement unit that had very little ripple.

hope johnny review this.. :)

I put my request in over at the OCZ website. We'll see.

is it made by FSP?
and no adjustable pot??

Yes, FSP.

You need to get over the whole "adjustable pot" thing. A properly engineered PSU has voltage regulation good enough to where you don't need to have user adjustments. The Powerstream had pots on it to make up for the crappy regulation Topower units have to begin with.

[fhpchris]

I can say that my FSP 700W ran 8800GTX SLI + 3970mhz QX6700 fine, pulling 733 watts from my wall during GT1 in 3d03 :)

I am replacing it anyway, before something bad can happen.

Jonny, You have some great ps reviews, but the 850+w arena is real world for some people here :)

[Revv23]

True DAT. i put 1.9v in my san diego on air and it was FINE.

My 700w GXS was not quiet either... when loaded i could hear it over my sanyo denkis at 7v... which are louder then yates... Like you say, it's definetly not bad at all, but i wouldn't call it quiet.

i just got a silencer 750w which is in a whole different class so its not fair to compare, but in the end it's much less noise.

To Ryder:

How is it that the 80mm fan 1000w doesn't even have room for a power switch but the 120mm one does?

Cheers to once again fitting 1000w into a standard ATX complaint box. :)

[jonnyGURU]

To Ryder:

Design. ;)

There are sacrafices to making something as "compact" as the GXS. The ProXstream is a solid design. There's a reason why Turbo Cool and Zippy PSU's are as "packed" as they are and only put out 510W, 600W, etc, while someone else's platform takes up less space yet can put out 850W, 1010W, etc.

It's not "magic." ;)

[STEvil]

You need to get over the whole "adjustable pot" thing. A properly engineered PSU has voltage regulation good enough to where you don't need to have user adjustments. The Powerstream had pots on it to make up for the crappy regulation Topower units have to begin with.

Neither of my 600w Powerstreams (rev 1 units) droop excessively under load :stick:

Back when it was the in thing to hook up your +3.3v rail directly to VDIMM supply it was nice to be able to adjust it a bit.

[jonnyGURU]

I have to admit.. 3.3V for VDIMM juice is something I support. I like how the ProXstream actually has it's 3.3V default at 3.4V. ;)
