View Full Version : Please help! Anything missing from this picture OCZ 520W?
Just got my OCZ 520Watt Powerstream today.
The power cable seems very strange (not a UK mains one), and there is nothing else with it?
Here is a picture of everything that came with my PSU. Am i missing the proper cable?

My bro's 520watt came with exactly what you got there. No UK mains cable also, so he just uses the cable from the PSU he replaced, works fine.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, dEl. :toast:
Heh, where did he get his from?
Thats all good, but what if it was my first PSU???
I emailed the site i bought it off and they said it should of come with a UK one, so i should get one. :cool:

He got his from http://www.casetech.co.uk/product_info.php/cPath/50_253/products_id/1670 .
You could always get a eu/uk plug adapter and use that until your new lead turns up?

Ok, thats ticked me off a bit, as it's 6 quid cheaper than i paid! :p:
Anyways, it's not to bad as i won't be installing it for a few days until i get my new case (Silverstone TJ05) :cool: .
Ive also noticed it doesn't come with a ATX 24pin conector stock with the adapter to 20 pin, it has a 20pin, and a small cable with it.

It is 24pin, but they have it setup so that if you only need it as a 20pin you can slide off the extra 4pins. Look closely and you will see what i mean.
Cheers, dEl. :toast:
Yeah, but ive never seen one like this before?

Thats good design for you, ocz are giving you a future proof PSU, i mean, what if you got a 20pin mobo now and want this psu? Well you can use it knowing that when you want to upgrade to a new 24pin nforce4 mobo you can still use the ocz psu by sliding on the extra 4pins, see what i mean?
Cheers, dEl. :toast:
Doh.
I don't mean that man i know that.
iam saying the design is different.
This is what most are:

Yes, ugly adapter cables. Like i said, ocz has a much better design that im sure more companies will adopt as its alot neater and makes cable routing alot easier.
Hope you enjoy it. :toast:
Yeah definatly, im pleased with it now learning it's the new design.
That pic if from a 520Watt OCZ!
