The ModXStream Pro Series is the superlative solution for driving today's gaming systems, and can power both NVIDIA SLI and ATI CrossFire modes. Professional-grade yet designed with gamers and modders in mind, this PSU is stable, robust, and sports a sleek look and compact form factor. Kept ultra-cool with a load-controlled 120mm fan, the ModXStream Pro was engineered to be the quietest PSU available and eliminate distracting noises from your PC. Highly efficient, featuring up to 86% efficiency at typical load and up to 82% at full load, this leading-edge power supply remains rock solid and powerful while retaining superior efficiency under load.

"Global market presence for OCZ high-performance power supplies continues to grow rapidly due to our ability to remain on the cutting-edge of both efficiency and stability," said Ryan Edwards, Director of Product Management.

Yeah, it says they can power SLI and Crossfire modes, whatever they meant with that, but 700 watt is pretty weak. Not sure about the arrangement of the rails and amps on these, but an average 700 watt PSU can't safely power a pair of any of the latest high-end GPUs. At least I wouldn't try it, especially if you got a severely OC'd quad, half a dozen HDs and tons of other stuff hooked-up, like many hardware enthusiasts do nowadays.

700W is enough for anything thats not GTX280 or 4870x2.

my systems dont even break 350W, so 700W is fine for MOST users.

I just hope these are a modular stealthX, and not like the original modstream... they were very weak in comparison to the then-popular powerstream.

Your also only using a single 8800GT. And your machine has to be taking more than 350w because tis better than mine and mine takes about 425 being 100% utilized. (Which is like, all the time almost)

And we where talking about how they boast SLI/Xfire setups when the top wattage they have is 700watt. I dont think it would handle an OCed quad, OCed 9800GX2, 4gig of ram, and a few HDs in RAID all that well.

700W should be plenty for anything these days. I mean unless you have a TEC system, I don't think even an HD4870X2 can draw enough to hurt a 700W. Heck, I remember when my 750W was HIGH END enough to anything on the market.

my power meter disagrees with you. My system(S) use less than 350W - my other rig has almost the same specs, except with an 8800GTX.

you've simply fallen intro a trap with thinking you need massive PSU's... you dont. as was said by sneeky, wizzard reviewed a 4870x2 on an OCZ 700W - you think he'd notice PSU issues, eh?

Its so true, people buy kilowatt PSUs because when they first came out they were the most durable PSUs out there, that is no longer the case. Today's PSUs now have 120mm, flux capacitors, or dual fans that keeps it cool, for a reason. Even if it breaks down, there is such things like a warranty which is why I buy my PSUs locally, rather than tigerdirect or Newegg. M PC still use kilowatt PSUs mainly because they are tempted by sponsors. Holy crap, give your energy bills a break and buy a Corsair HX520 or something low on wattage.

I'd really like to see how these OCZ PSU's compare to Corsair's, especially noise-wise.

I asked Antec about the True Power Quattro 850 Version, they said it can suppose 2x8800GTX and below, but not 8800 Ultra.
So, I'm wondering what about the 700Watt version of this? 2x8800GTX max?

Hmm, I dont see why Antecs 850 couldnt, unless the amperage on its 12v rails isnt alot. These seem fine though, especially with PC Power and cooling building their PSUs now.

the difference between a GTX and an ultra isnt that much, and they use the same amount of PCI-E connectors. Seriously i think the antec rep doesnt know what he's talking about.

I've ran 8800GTX SLI off a 600W gameXstream with no problems whatsoever (i forgot to measure the power usage, sorry). People over-react far too much with this wattage business - the only reason people reccomend high wattage units is because they're often better QUALITY.
