high reliability memory and components, today revealed the first power supply models under the Fatal1ty series, offering gamers stable and efficient power for their mainstream or high-end rigs. OCZ is dedicated to delivering premium power solutions, and the Fatal1ty series options are the first step to creating an exceptional gaming system for the unique power and cabling requirements of today's gamer.
These high-performance power supplies were co-developed with the expertise of Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel, 12-time World champion, to meet the specific needs of fellow gamers. OCZ Fatal1ty Professional Series PSUs feature incredible performance to power the latest graphics cards and hard drives. To meet the needs of a wide range of gamers, OCZ's Fatal1ty PSUs offer three configuration choices including a non-modular 400W, modular 550W, and a high-performance, +12V single-rail 700W edition.
"OCZ and Fatal1ty are excited to introduce a complete series of new power supplies designed specifically for the entire spectrum of gamers," said Ryan Edwards, Director of Product Management for the OCZ Technology Group. "No matter what level of gamer you are, or what type of system configuration you are running, these new PSUs are designed to pair perfectly with the latest graphics cards and offer clean, stable power for both single and dual GPU setups. The 80+ design makes the PSUs green and more efficient, and premium high reliability, silent LED lit fans ensure that consumers can stay focused on their game."
"Having a powerful and consistent power supply is important to make sure all of my components run how they were built to run," said Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel. "I am really excited about working with OCZ and their PC Power & Cooling unit which is known to employ some of the best PSU engineers in the business."
All the Fatal1ty gaming-grade power supplies have superior features such as an 80+ Certification for ultimate efficiency, highly reliable MTBF, and 120mm LED fans. All units feature glowing red LED lights to further personalize and add style to your gaming rig. The Fatal1ty Professional 550W Modular and 700W Single Rail PSU also boast an SLI-Certification to run the latest graphics cards.

umm . . . just curious, OCZ - but can you explain what expertise Fatal1ty has in regards to designing PSUs?
Now, if y'all were developing a game with him, that's one thing . . . but last I checked, it's not like he's an electrical engineering major . . .
by: imperialreign;1077515It's all marketing bro...

Looking very good.

Eh, sno.lcn's avatar makes this thread worthy. Fatal1ty branded stuff is just annoying IMO.
Eh stop wining over this Fatality sh#t. No fanboyism here because i don't care. At least the guy is making some decent money. Beats selling crack on the corner of the street.
And not every one knows who he is so to them it's Fatality against ModXStream.:wtf:
What would you choose?
And apparently OCZ is making good money out of it because they would not team up with him if not.;)

See, I'd buy that as it's red and black, however, ignoring the Fatality BS I won't because it's freakin' OCZ and I'm massively disappointed by their products (apart from RAM).
Looks nice with some red LED, but fail for marketing plot
my OCZ gameXstream 600W was a solid psu... sold it with my X1950 pro card to someone 2nd hand as i got the Enermax... but it was a good psu...

I'm not saying they're all bad, just from my experience with my friend's was awful. It was really freaking loud and the amperage was pretty poor, plus it failed on several occasions, must have been a bad unit.
by: technicks;1077556Haha yes, i think he stop to play any games too, drink his beer on the beach while we play shitty games.

Iv asked this before but what does Fatalitys pecker taste like?
I'd rather see my own name on a product! :D
by: TheMailMan78;1077628Whatever the Fatal1ty flavoured jim hats taste of - maybe blood sweat and tears? HA! No!

OCZ makes some nice products however this Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel is a huge shmuck. He really hasn't done anything for anyone bu he has all these companies making peripherals, and components with his "tag" on it. What ever happened to Vo0 products or other well represented gamers.
yea i dout there's much difference, though the single rail 12v is different from my 700watt gamextreme, and that little led that comes on when you flip the switch on the PSU is new also:laugh: definitly deserves a new name :D :nutkick:

its not that 'HE' has all these companies, its more like companies USE his name on their products so they can charge MORE for a product that has features or minor tweaks that are either: A) Totally useless B) Totally pointless C) Totally look cool with black & red colour scheme (which i dig a lot sad to say) & really dont make any difference at all compared to the exact same 'regular' products on the shelf.
a Zalman VF-900 GPU cooler would be a good example - Zalman has 4 editions of this cooler -
1) A copper one
2) A copper one with blue LED
3) A Aluminium one (with/without LED??)
4) A Fata1ity one
& the only difference is the Fata1ity one is made of aluminium with a red LED instead of the blue (or no LED) & a tad higher fan RPM rate for a few more $
& i know this because i have that Fata1ity cooler on a old X1800XT - I didnt want it but the shop i went to sold it to me cheaper then the regular ones
56A on a single rail is nice, beats my Corsair TX650 by 4 AMPS
what are the benefits of a single rail compared to my 4 :laugh:?, is it just more consistent/reliable power or something?
What the hell does Johnathan "Fatal1ty" do anyway, is he just some random gamer?
Ages ago people weher like nah get a split rail psu because it can supply the cpu and gpu separate, now i hear people are like nah get a massive one rail it will supply power more efficiently.
I dunno whats better i think there was a thread about it a while ago but it dosnt make a big difference as long as the split rails have all got equally high amperage, or as long as the single rail is high.

I'll stick with my 750 watt Apevia Warlock thx :). 4 +12v rails with 25 amps each completely trumps each of these fatality psu's.

I got it a bit cheaper but its still a great deal for any serious system builder. It gets my recommendation!

It doesn't have enough logo tags on it. I want to make sure that anyone looking at my PSU knows I'm a hardcore professional gamer incase the zalaman fatality billboard (opps, I mean case1!) didn't already get that point across.
On a more serious note though, on the 700W version, is that logo closest to the fan actually a laser cut out? lol

by: Nicksterr;1077520I completely understand it's all marketing (for 95% of the products) . . .
It's all marketing bro...
I was just trying to shed some light on the propaganda for other users :toast:
I'm getting tired of Fatal1ty. He doesn't even game anymore and he is still out there. But I am rocking his new OCZ memory.
by: Castiel;1078144thats very true, I was just looking him up on wiki myself. his official 'last appearance' was in 2006. I'm actually interested in what hes been doing since he quit the gaming scene. maybe working in burger king or Wendys perhaps??

seems a bit strange for somebody with his 'skills' to quit while he coulda carried on for so much longer. but i suppose he's makes enough money to get by on endorsements & other shit like that. companies like Abit really really loved Fata1ity
by: Apocolypse007;1078115and my PCP&C 510w sli trumps your apevia?

by: WarEagleAU;1077831You should try a Silverstone 1200w. 90A on a single rail.
56A on a single rail is nice, beats my Corsair TX650 by 4 AMPS
If you look at the history of OCZ products, most of them are developed by some one else. OCZ buys those products and slaps their name on it and call it their own.
Its a slick marketing skim.

still i like my gigabyte odin
by: TheMailMan78;1077628Go have surgery and have some vertebrae taken out so you can suck on you're own.:roll:

I met Fatality in real life and hes a genuienly nice guy.:toast:
by: KieranD;1078000Pro gamer ,more specifically teh Quake series .
What the hell does Johnathan "Fatal1ty" do anyway, is he just some random gamer?
if u cba google him + quake 4 ,sure to find some videos of him at various competitions.
as for the PSU itself ,not for me as its the wrong colour led for my ,i have blue led's on my case fans ,so red would kill that off.
by: BOSE;1078394actually they are made by one somebody else PCP&C if people would read the link i posted it mentions how OCZ and PCP&C are now one and the same

Key word being "history", not "present" day.
History also shows, that back in P3 days, OCZ did make/developed their own products, that were good, not great, but good. But do to shitty customer service they almost went bankrupt and out of business, thus they were dormant and didnt sell any products at one point for over a year.
Thats right, ive been OC'ing Celerons and P133 when most of you were still wearing diapers.
OCZ is nothing to brag about even today. I will give them credit for making a good selection of RAM manufacturer, as the RAM they sell if of good quality. Not great, but good.
