Yummm... I couldn't wait to hear the verdict on OCZ 600W :) After selling my OCZ 520W, I was on the 500W ultra-X which did fine for it's rating. (Bit more fluctuation but I still got similar overclock... some times a little better... strange stuff) Might have something to do with K8N Neo2.
Now that 660W beastie is in my rig, going through some quick tests. One thing for sure, fluctuation of voltage is minimal no matter what I throw at it (volt meter and the 3 led fans confirm)
In fact, under same setting on v-core, etc... I am getting higher overclock than before by easily 50-100mhz. (confirmation that I was PSU limited on my overclocking) Now running prime @ 0.5v less v-core and same speed, have feeling I might be able to prime @ 3.1ghz with memory running @ 281mhz 2.5-3-3-7 dual channel. (and most likely get stuck with memory limitation by my CPU's memory controller to go higher unless I start using divider) And my Mach2's fan isn't even running in full speed yet :)
Just couldn't hold back... well worth the money I spent :)
I need some advice on how to clean wire on this beastie... I think it was meant to be used in full tower case looking at length of the thing (even longer than Antec True 550w...)

Thanks For the info Jinu, I'm looking forward to getting the MSI 939 board in the near future so its rather timely. Keep us updated with how it works out after you've had it for a while.

Glad finally someone found that this beast is for real. After I killed 3 psus (Antecs/thermaltake- runnin high oc), I just stuffed this gold monster inside a super lan'frikin'boy.

Hah, guess I got lucky just giving random guess at this PSU :P I really didn't have greatest experiences with OCZ or PC&P PSU. Despite all the aura surrounding how people mention it is really good. This time, I think I am really happy with PSU. One quirky thing though... as with most enermax PSU... it won't play with DDR booster... HiPro need to produce his stuff soon before I decides to start cutting trace on my mobo for VDD mod ... :P

Correction - DDR booster works but without display. Tested it with voltmeter on vddr readpoint and it is working fine.
