Kovoet Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 A big definit yes from me as my son runs this PSU and the write up on it was excellent being one of the only PSU's at 500watts to perform consistently above the 80%. A big plus as well is the modular cables. Good choice there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) Here is a review of a similar PSU, the OCZ ModXStream-Pro 600W. It seemed to perform well for the price but the DC quality only scored a "borderline", due to the amount of ripple according to paulktreg. Nevertheless, it performed very well for it's class.

Verran Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 It's probably not the most awesome PSU ever, but it's no slouch either. I'd have no reservations putting it in your rig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
