ocz modxstream pro 500

searched for useful reviews, bittech gave it a decent rating. the only caveat being unknown capacitor supplier TRec.

or should i just wait for another corsair hx520 sale?

SeaSonic S12 Energy Plus SS-550HT 550W $80

Corsair Power 550 $70

5 year warranty for both. A good power supply lasts a long time

there's a $40 sale on this one, so i'm trying to decide whether to bite or not. if it's any good, it's a good deal. if not, then i can wait for another corsair 520 $60 deal.

the main thing i'm looking for is modular cabling.

Hey, why don't you just spend an extra $10 and get OCZ OCZ700MXSP 700W SLI/CrossFire - $50

wow. Russian thanks. that would work too. the problem still remains though, nobody has done a full review of the modxstream series that i can find. not jonnyguru or xbitlabs.

There are tons of reviews here (bottom of the page) for OCZ Modular PSUs

yeah i read some of those reviews during my research. most are pretty superficial testing of voltages and pfc. only a few even opened up the casing and did an autopsy of the parts/components.

hardocp's review is the only in-depth examination with a cross load torture test at 45C. it failed at 45 but passed at 40, but they only did the retest because ocz restated the operating temp as 40C.

I went with the enermax infiniti at zzf instead. too good of a deal after reading jonnyguru.com's review of it thanks for the help though russian.
