OCZ ModXStream Power Supply *EOL

"Great manufacturing, low heat, high efficiency and stability. Further more, you have plenty of connectors and the PSU is modular."

"The ModXstream has an efficiency of over 80%. High efficiency is becoming more and more relevant looking at todays High-End systems. During our tests the ModXstream was extremely stable on all rails, even the highest overclock didn't change anything about that. This PSU is is extremely high quality and has all connectors you might need. Due to all this we give the ModXstream 780W our Recommended Award, the high quality and performance allows you to upgrade your system, where you now could go for a 8800GTS and a Quad Core processor for example. Last but not least the price of this unit is decent as well."

"The 3.3v and 5v rails remained fairly close together with hardly any deviation while the 12v rails were also relatively consistent with one another showing a slightly high reading of 12.29 volts, all-in-all good performance. When we look at system featuring several SATA hard drives running in RAID, a couple graphic cards, and a high end CPU, a reliable and capable power supply like the ModXStream are definitely reasonable power supply solutions."

"OCZ has introduced the ModXstream for the high demanding users. The Watts that the ModXstream supplies are satisfying, even for the high demanding systems. With 780W, 20A on the four 12V lines and 30A on the 3,3 line, and the 5V line, the ModXstream was still easily able to deliver power to a heavy dual core SLI-system. The ModXstream is silent and almost not hearable under standard load. Besides, the ModXstream did not get warmer than 25 degrees."

"OCZ ModXStream mixes equal parts function and fashion; as this 780W Modular PSU neither dominates nor does falter in either category. I found the OCZ ModXStream to be perfect for mid to high-range computer systems requiring only two PCI-Express connectors. The ModXStream doesn't go over the top, but it still offers plenty of value for the design features and performance you receive."

"The OCZ ModXstream 780W is a good power supply unit. It has a high power output, excellent voltage lines and it is very efficient. Aesthetically we believe it is pleasant enough to appeal to everybody and it is also quiet enough. The modular design is certainly going to make it very popular as it is preferred by people who like their system tidy. Overall, it is a good unit which ought to keep everyone satisfied. The OCZ ModXstream 780W is a versatile unit and a lot of people will find it a perfect choice for their system. It is powerful enough to feed the greatest PC systems available today with ease, so it will also last for quite some time before you find yourself needing an upgrade, if ever."

"The efficiency was good pulling in an average of 81% and does have active PFC. The fact that the ModXStream does utilize some modular cables is a benefit for most. It allows the user to only use the cables they need and doesn't leave them with having to tuck and hide the extras somewhere in the case."

"With the Equalizer OCZ has introduced a purebred gaming mouse, which doesn?t have to hide itself from any competitors that are far more expensive. Not only is the mouse a real beauty, from the colors to the overall design, the quality and features are also outstanding. The mouse is very precise and can easily keep up with more expensive competitors. It?s not only our best buy tip but also receives our Editor?s Choice Award.?

"OCZ Technology has many PSU lines for all categories of users. The ModXSteam series now covers that need. While the product has not been rated "SLI/CrossFire" Ready, it can without any doubt handle both VGA setups. And to boot, OCZ offers the 3 years PowerSwap replacement program warranty! Overall, the ModXStream 780W is a nice PSU that most users will find quiet and stable."

"The OCZ ModXStream showed itself to deliver rock solid power under a variety of conditions with variation of less than 0.01 volts. This is in no small part on account of the Active PFC that regulates power output to ensure stable delivery. Its silent operation, clean aesthetically pleasing lines and pricing do even more to put lots of marks in the plus column. All things considered, it's hard not to recommend the OCZ 780 watt ModXStream power supply. It has features and performance to spare and delivers these without lots of fan noise and more importantly does so with a three year warranty and a reasonable price tag."

"We feel confident in the ModXStream's ability to power an enthusiast level rig, whether you're running dual videocards, overclocking, or both. And when it comes to attention to detail, we love that OCZ went the extra mile to sheath the cables in between connectors, an area we've seen too many other manufactures skimp on. Pricing is on par with other offerings in it's class, but as we've said before, OCZ's customer support remains a cut above the competition. The ModXStream puts OCZ back into the modular saddle with plenty of power to ride off into the silicon sunset."

"After reviewing the OCZ Equalizer Gaming mouse, we have no disadvantages to mention. The Equalizer is a performance mouse under every point of view, with good software that make it the best choice not only for Gamers but for all specialists that are looking for a very precise mouse. OCZ?s Equalizer surprised us in a positive way and received the Best Product Award."

"OCZ has done it again; they've made another great power supply to target the modular power supply lovers out there. The bright 120mm blue LED fan looks great and adds a touch of bling to your system without going overboard. It's also provides plenty of cool air for the internals and is very quiet. The modular cables are of good quality and sleeved in black mesh for good looks. I have absolutely no problems with recommending this unit to anyone out there looking for a unit in the 700w-800w category. OCZ Technology has proven to me that they can build excellent power supplies and I trust them with my main SLI system that runs 24/7!"

"I like the ability to use only the cables I need and not have to try and hide the unused ones somewhere in my case. The OCZ ModXStream is a very competent power supply, that is stable, silent, and looks great."

"The results are excellent for this power supply. Everything ran fine during testing; the system was stable and performed the tests as expected. During the tests, the fan speed climbed up to what I would call a medium speed and stayed there. When the system is idle or doing simple tasks, the fan is quiet. I was satisfied with the noise characteristics during the testing."

"With the amount of wattage available of the 12V rails places the ModXStream 780W well within the big players and will easily power most high-end systems. Having a modular design certainly helps in reducing the clutter within your PC and increases overall airflow within your system, and OCZ?s ModXStream not only caters to this ever increasing demand by users but also packs a load of power to power even the most demanding systems out there."

"Voltage testing reveals a very stable power supply. At the end of the day, this power supply has a lot going for it. The 120mm thermally-controlled blue LED fan is as-advertised; very quiet. A modular cable system makes wiring a breeze, allowing you to eliminate the cables that you do not need, thus helping to prevent cable clutter."

"The computer passed through the stress test without any issues, a testament to the ModXStream?s stability. That?s very good news for gamers: even though the ModXStream has 'made for hardware enthusiasts' written all over it, gamers and overclockers alike can take solace in the notion that the ModXStream will cater to your power supply needs. Overall, OCZ has done exactly what I?d hoped, the best OCZ power supply I?ve tested yet. Highly recommended!"

"With the recent advancements in performance computing it seems that everyone is looking for a new power supply. The new ModXStream line of power supplies does a nice job of combining the raw power these new builds demand with the modular convenience many of us demand. Do your homework then come back for the dependable power that the OCZ ModXStream 780 Watt Modular power supply effortlessly provides."

"It should be well known by anyone and everyone active into gaming and overclocking that OCZ has built some of the best power supplies on the market. We feel that the ModXStream falls right in line with the older PowerStream models. The brute power is there along with the stability that we want and need as a feature of any power supply unit."
