Nice. Looks like the purchase of PCP&C is paying off. The modular 1000w looks mighty yummy.

MrAlex · Jul 31, 2009, 06:51 AM

Is the extra $$$ worth it for the Modular power supplies?

FordGT90Concept · Jul 31, 2009, 06:54 AM

I think so. I hate wire messes.

There aren't very many 80+ Gold PSUs out there.

It all depends on what you need... I need less cables in my cases for two reasons.
1. aesthetics and practicality. I love a tidy and clean case.
2. better air movement through the case, thus lower overall temps.

less than 10 .

Easo · Jul 31, 2009, 10:43 AM

I want one...

qwerty_lesh · Jul 31, 2009, 10:46 AM

I really like the middle pic, brushed metal FTW, <3 it.

Mussels · Jul 31, 2009, 11:13 AM

they look good.

OCZ have moved away from the LED fans (which i've been nagging them to do for years), and got a lineup of high-specced, single rail PSU's.

Seems they'ev done the same as corsair, and under-rated them too - the 1000W says its an 1100W peak, and the 850W says its a 940W peak.

Very much so. If it wasn't for my current corsair PSU i would have a total of 5 unused cables floating about inside my case.

werez · Jul 31, 2009, 06:32 PM

I love OCZ . Good and reliable PSU`s . I owned the fatal1ty edition 550W and the 600W ModXStream Pro . Very pleased with these two products . The 600W version powered one GTX 260 216 sp , x4 955 , 4 gb of ram , 2 hdd`s , 2 dvdrw , 6 fans , card reader , lcd display with fan controller . I even added a peltier unit for some cooling experiments directly to the 12V rail and the PSU was still hanging in there . I recommend OCZ ! Since i bought my 750w Corsair i wont be upgrading my PSU in the near future , but if i will need a better one or more powerful PSU i will definitely go with OCZ . The OCZ Z850 850W 80+ Gold PSU looks very tempting

They are not really under-rated. Continuous is the amount of power the PSU can supply indefinitely while the Peak power is only sustainable for a short period.

Either way, It would take quite the rig to max out any of these models.

Thodr things look so cool rofl i am on ocz right now on my new build thye havent done me wrong yet. (and old one)

Very good to see Manufactures cranking out Silver and Gold level 80+ certifications. Also good to see Corsair and a few others offering 90% efficiency.

aj28 · Aug 1, 2009, 02:12 AM

Bleh... I am really not a fan of these ridicu-watt units everyone is cranking out these days. For those who haven't noticed, computers are getting more efficient, not less! A mid-range gaming PC (X3/4850) runs perfect on a quality 450W PSU. Even if you crank it up to an X4/4870 (or Intel/Nvidia equivalent), you're good with 550W!

But alas, all the high-grade units being put out today are in the 700W+ range, which imo is entirely ridiculous for the majority of users. It ought to be pretty easy to make an 80+G 500/600W, so why not? After all, the mid-range is where real volume sales are, and (some) people place a great deal of value on 80P and high-grade components, even if they haven't got a socket-sucker for a rig!

Try to voltmod and OC on that 450w unit reliably. Not gonna happen, unless it's a Corsair, or similar quality unit. Some of the crazy setups on this site need the high juice psus.

tastegw · Aug 1, 2009, 03:43 AM

850 modular will be my next psu for sure.

This should be quite enough for anything...

Wonder how much it costs...

Or maybe this

But of course someone always needs more

Also good to see Corsair and a few others offering 90% efficiency. __________________ =-TheEagle-= http://www.heatware.com/eval.php?id=62454 “You crazy?

For those who haven't noticed, computers are getting more efficient, not less! A mid-range gaming PC (X3/4850) runs perfect on a quality 450W PSU. Even if you crank it up to an X4/4870 (or Intel/Nvidia equivalent), you're good with 550W! But alas, all the high-grade units being put out today are in the 700W+ range, which imo is entirely ridiculous for the majority of users. It ought to be pretty easy to make an 80+G 500/600W, so why not? After all, the mid-range is where real volume sales are, and (some) people place a great deal of value on 80P and high-grade components, even if they haven't got a socket-sucker for a rig!
