I just ordered the new power supply from OCZ, the OCZ520ADJ 520W RT (Serial#: 0A6LNC020000058). i got it to run a MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM with a 3500+ 939 socked AMD64. i plan on running dual raid on two 10,000 rpm 74GB WD raptor drives running raid 1. It will also power a GeForce 6800 (vanilla) and a highpoint rocket raid133 card with 4 ata 133 Maxtor 80 GB drives running RAID 0,1. Also 1 GB of ballsitic ddr3200 (2X512). I just ordered all of this stuff and I know that the MSI board is a little flaky with power. the PS has a 30 amp 12V rail so thats pretty much why I picked it.

Has anyone else tried this new power supply? Any expereiences good or bad that you widh to share?
 
Well I built my system yesterday and I have to say this is the best power supply I have ever used. i used to be a die hard antec fan, but this power supply is so powerful, high quality and quiet, that I am soooo glad I bought it. It has three LED's on the back that tell you if any of the power rails go under amperage. There are little potentiometers above the lights so you can adjust them up for more power. Even though it has this option, I did not have to use it. With a 33A 12V rail I ciuld not even come close to drawing this thing down under amperage with my Neo2. It also had the 4 pin connector that this board needed. It has a split dual SATA hookup that I hooked singly into one SATA drive. It has 2 dedicated IDE cables - one I used for my other SATA drive with an adapter and the other I hooked into my GeForce 6800. There was even a cord with 3 four pin connectors and a floppy connector (2 total) that I didn't even use. All I can say is that this is GREAT power supply for the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum!
My only criticism is the built in green led light in the rear exhaust fan. I realize that some people like that, but its a little too flashy for me.
