Ocz 600 psu for Zalman 600 psu?

Chewy · Nov 9, 2006

Atm my psu is on backorder and they dont know when it will arrive =-(... so I might ask them to send me the Zalman ZM600-HP 600W, instead of the OCZ GameXtreme 600... the rails are not as stable as the rock solid Ocz psu but its quieter and close to the same price.

I think its a good idea, but I dont know if it will afect me much not having the rock Solid rails of Ocz when overclocking.

Bump Bump, This a safe trade? I plan on getting a decent dx10 card someday just 1...

I'll have a mod delete this useless topic after.

is that a single +12v rail..?? it sounds nice, but if it doesnt at least have 2 +12v rails then it will need replaced when you bump up in vga....

Chewy · Nov 9, 2006

They're both quad rails, I heard the Ocz is 18 amps on the 12v rails and also that its 16 amps... I know the Zalman is 16 amps on each 12v rails.

Thanks for the responce, just wanted to make sure it was a good psu.

sounds like zalman for you then.....with the xchange pipes and its quiet.. :rockout:

Chewy · Nov 9, 2006

I like quiet, hopfully they just send he the psu and charge me no extra since I am a paypal e-check user... I get it airmailed for free anyway, so as long as its here with the rest of my system I dont mind.

Psu is the loudest part of most systems I think, well at least on my current system.

Why not just get the 700w ocz game x stream ? cant say about the zalman have not seen any tests on it,so i am not sure if its good or not

Chewy · Nov 10, 2006

I thought about it but its too much more $$$ and I doubt I will need the extra power. The zalman is close to the same price as the Ocz 600, and looks more pimping, just not as stable on 5 and 12v lines.

There a review of them both up there, I already sent in a Ticket asking them to do the exchange for me.

It doesn't matter much if it's Single, Double, Triple, Quad Rails. 4 +12v Rails @ 15A each (60 Total) is the same as a single +12v Rail w/ 60A.

One of the best power supplies out there only has 1 +12v Rail, but it's rated @ 60A.

I'm not trying to say Multi-Railed PSU's are bad, of course not. They're great no doubt, but I'm just trying to say that Just because it's Multi-Railed doesn't mean it's better than Single-Railed.
