Its a P4 platform, gonna be hard to get them to run quick on it.

i highly recommnd the msi board.
Just FYI OCZ did neither build or design this PSU, it´s built and designed by Topower and OCZ just has their own sticker put on it.Quote:

who cares, the powerstream PSU's are the best for extreme oc'ers (as far as i am concerned) ;)Quote:

Great Place to talk PSU's....in a thread about memory ????
Just so you can rest easy, the Powerstream PSU has an extremely low failure rate. We have sold a ridiculous ammount of these and are maintaining better than industry standard quality. We would like a zero defect product, but given the nature of a PSU this is just not possible at this time. All PSU's have a failure rate. I have bought other major brands that were DOA or popped in the night. I just exchanged them or waited 2+ weeks for an RMA.Quote:

If you have a failure, NO company will RMA you faster. We take pride in this and offer this as proof that we are not flooded with RMA units.
As far as stabilty, ask OPPaiinter or Fugger how there units are when hitting ludicrous speeds. They don't use Fortron.
Have a happy and safe new year. :banana4:
Yes, this is no mystery, but show me a Topower you can buy off the shelf that is identical. OCZ must have had some thing to do with it's design?Quote:

WEll they are good PSUs or more then good perhaps even, i might had bought one myself if they whould have been around here where i live when i bought a new PSU this summer.
As for OPPainter and Fugger not using fortron or any other brand, no they use OCZ520 and how come.
Maybe they got them for free? :p: You guys hang around here and know how good publicity it is to have theese guys using your products :D
I don´t know i am just speculating ofcourse, whouldn´t suprise me though, you guys are not stupid and neither am i.

Well take a look at this ;)
http://www.dansdata.com/top686p6.htm
Look familiar? :p:
I am more impressed with theese newer OCZ-RAMs than the PSUs, just my 2..
any of these in UK.......
avicenna - I gotta say thats one of the more entertaining PSU reviews i've read.. guy mentions line restrictions too, among other things.. very good review actually heh.
EDIT
TOP-600P5 looks interesting... http://www.topower.com.tw/home/power_supply_atx12v.htm
That sure does look familiar. :)Quote:

As far as giving away PSUs to some of the worlds top overclockers, why not? Yes it's good advertisment but rest assured they get given crap that they never use at all, so again we are flattered by the records they set with our gear. We are running a successful business and are not out to fool anyone. The stuff these guys get comes off the same line as what you buy. This alone would make me feel better about my purchase. It sure made us feel better about selling them to you.
Anyway, have a good Holiday and a Happy New Year!! :banana4:

So your so flattered your not gona sue them for coppying your PSU ???
First of all i am glad we can have an open discussion like this.Quote:

Everybody will want to have one when they see that OPP, fugger, Macci and the likes use it. Can´t get any better than that and all for peanuts money.
Give away a couple of PSUs and RAM-modules and make big bucks out if it, wonder if OPP and Fugger ever thought about the fact that it´s you who are the winners in this deal;)
Ofcourse the product whould have to be good enough so i whould and i assume you did compare and test the PSU against some other competitors before official launch, otherwise the whole deal whould have backfired if the product was not up to par.
Now to the more important issue, you are claiming that OCZ infact designed that PSU and you speced it.
(Whistles in amazement!)
Before i go any further can you please explain exactly what you mean by designed?
Designed the whole PSU and it´s components from scratch, or more like chose the colour of the PSU and the ledfan?
Have a happy and succesfull new year! :)
PS: Sorry for turning this into a psu thread.
Yes he has a unusual and entertaining way of writing his reviews. :)Quote:

Back to VX! ;)
some damn good stuff indeed, too bad t doesnt scale higher with more volts.
back to memory. Enlighten me again why tight timings are so important. I'm currenty using an o/c 2.8ghz to 3.8ghz P4 setup running slack timings for high FSB.
So for high FSB and the performance boost why doesn't the same apply ?
My Geil Ultra plat ddr500 would be crap on a 64 setup ? i.e it wasn't designed for tight timings ?
I'm confused..!! :confused:
Oh one more thing. if the VX is 'the best' why is it 'gold' rather than 'platinum' ?What I'm getting at is there any better ram for a 64 setup ?
TCCD is the platnum, because it will run DDR 2-2-2-5 at extremly low volts.
raw speed will beat out timings but it may take something like another 25mhz of speed to make 2.5-3-3-7 to run equal with 2-2-2-5, depending on your setup of course.
Its a balance.. the best chips out there are still BH but they arent easy to find all the time.. :D
What you need to know really is if you want 24/7 or benchmarks.
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...635#post654635
would latency help in anything other then benchmarks?
looks like theres a dedicated memory section now :) "xtreme bandwidth"
Of course it would. Compiling, rendering, gaming, etc... can be anything that is memory intensive.
EDIT
Yeah, thought I clicked on the overclocking forum and there was only about 14 topics... was confused lol :confused: :stick: :D :D

Any mod there. Will try harder later.
My crappy TCCD don't do 230 2-2-2.. need some VX or BH5 there.
