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.

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.

I wouldn't read too much into the terse reply. I think Tony is just saying the PSU isn't for everyone.

Your comment about the modular ATX connector was spot on, but the rest might be a bit premature.

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.

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.

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.

T

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

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

*Crosses fingers and hopes for OEM Zippy* :D

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)

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.

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.

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

4th paragraph down ;)

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.

Prolly the fact that you can put bigger heatsinks in the PSU and the airflow path will be better this way.

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 ;)

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.

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

:rolleyes:

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.

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

I don't think it's OCZ that needs the ego check... :stick:

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 =)

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 ;)

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.

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:

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