Hi,
Just wanted to make you aware that the OCZ Powerstreams 420W/520W are not ATX12V 2.0 (this is different to ATX 2.0 which gets quoted alot) but ATX12V 1.3 compliant as confirmed by OCZ Tech Support:
The PowerStream 600W is ATX12V 2.01 compliant, while the 520W and 420W models are ATX12V 1.3 compliant, as we mention on the PowerStream product page.
Sincerely,
Technical Support SpecialistAt this time it is undetermined if these PSUs are actually BTX compliant as a spec for BTX PSUs has not been ratified tho it is expected to be based on the ATX12V 2.0 spec:Originally Posted by Antec's Website

They are obviously still quality PSUs but there has been recent confusion with regards to what type of PSU is required for PCI-Express and SATA. Also I am unsure how 'future-proofed' these PSUs are if BTX is incorporated as an industy standard.
If this matters to you its best to check if your PSU is ATX12V 2.0+ specification rather than ATX 2.0.
