New 600W Evostreams just about to ship.

[Tony]

Fully modular, I beleive we have 700W versions also shipping the same time although i will have to confirm this. The 600W has been on my test bench for 2 months now and I believe the Evo line is the best PSU's we have built to date. These things are beasts.

Even though they are fully modular they do have quite high specs, im not going to post ripple etc as this is a forum exclusive leak, I will let reviewers quote official spec's etc.
Im unsure on the MSRP but will get back once prices are fixed. for now some nice pics.

Sweet! I cant wait to see some reviews and pricing. I've been holding off for a awsome modular PSU, hopefully this'll be it.

Personally now, IE Tony talking I think they are beasts, I have 3 600's and a 700w, some are early Alpha builds and they are all super strong.

Some will have wanted partially modular, we had a lot of requests for fully modular though and this is the direction we went.

OEM looks to be 3Y Power - a company I'm not familiar with. Since they declare themselves to be primarily an industrial PSU maker, I have high hopes for these.

LOL already you want to know who makes em, I will say its NOT Fortron...they actually don't make PSU's and its not Topower.

So the E***eStreams are being cancelled ?

OCZ left the UL file number for 3Y on the side of that unit - not hard to trace it

[Tony]

The PSU lines have been juggled somewhat as we moved to a new OEM and worked on the designs with them.Elite may disapear yes.

We have a rash of PSU's all launching hopefully before Xmas...this is just the start.

it no big deal man...i just wanted the not so investigative peeps to know who its not.

[Oklahoma Wolf]

Hehe - np. I look forward to seeing what these can do

[DAK1640]

I've always felt OCZ built a quality PSU...I have them in all 4 rigs

[cadaveca]

Wow. Fully modular. Even the ATX connector. But i see no CSA so a while before in Canada?

[cantankerous]

How does this psu compare to the GameXstream series interms of power and reliability?

I was thinking of getting a GameXstream 700w but if you are saying you have other psus out by Christmas I may wait to avoid dissapointment when something better comes out in not too long. I hope you can leak some more info on the other new models shortly.

[Tony]

GX psu's are just fine, this is a little higher end

As I get info approved I will post, for now this is all i can say

[dicecca112]

Tony how does the stiffness of the cables compare to the Modstreams. Those cables were a beast to work with

The main lead is a little stiff...but mot to bad, the rest are quite soft.

You have to remember they have to be flame proof cables, by nature these are not the most flexible.

I can't believe my luck, I bought a 600 Powerstream and within 2 weeks OCZ announce the GameXStream.

Yesterday I bought a 700 watt GameXStream and today something better.

Well if the rest of the forum want to know when the next OCZ PSU comes out there's a sure fire way of knowing it'll be the day after I buy this new one, shall I post when I get one to see how long it takes

Seriously though I'm a bit of a OCZ nut because I have only ever had good results from EVERY thing OCZ I have ever bought and considering I build PC's for part of my living thats one hell of a lot compared with the normal enthusiast, I'm loving my GameXStream but I've just got to get one of these as when OCZ say it's the best ever that makes my mouth water.

If OCZ made Lager it would be Carlsburg "probably the best lager in the world"

Wtf 45 a total on 12v's ? My tripple rail 500w has more then that :O Not modular tho : /

[Tony]

OCP is 15A per line, 4x lines is 60A but the max is a little below this.

I can't believe it not even on sale and we're off again.

Thanks for the quick answer, can't wait till see the reviews. Need something to replace my 600W Powerstream

So what if it has 45amps? Pls explain to me how your even going to come close to 45 amps. More importantly is how well it does in ripple, voltage drop etc...

However Tony there are many more lines of psu's from ocz coming out?

[WeStSiDePLaYa]

well, too be honest, from information provided, and the current specs, unless this thing is almost completely without line ripple or drop, it wont be worth it. imo.

First,

All modular cable design is really really useless, who runs a psu without an ATX cable? so all this is doing is adding alot of extra reistance, not just from the connector, but also the connector being connected to the pcb of the psu.

and those modular cable design just looks poor, visually and functionally. the standard 4-pin molex dont have any sort of locking function, and dont have SATA power connectors with 3.3.v

also, the specs arent anything new.

if this unit is more expsensive than the powerstream series, the only reason it will sell is because of the OCZ name, just like the GX series.


and as side note, even though the mushkin hp-550 is a poor perfoming psu, they have a really solid modular cable setup. sata connectors with 3.3v, and regular molex connectors all interchangable and all with locks.

[Praxis1452]

Modular cable resistance is pretty minimal. Sure maybe you want a better voltage but lets say the voltage on the 12v rails is 12.10v The extra resistance may only grow .03v. I forget the exact numbers but jonnyguru wrote up a whole article on it. I do not understand though why the ATX connector needs to be modular...

I suspect performance will be good. Maybe some people want modular everything? Simple fact is if there is a consumer demand for it why not make money off it?

[p0tter]

Love the finish and looks like the powerstream series, anyone with dimensions?
