Question about OCZ Powerstream 520 and 24 pin connector

[bneiderman]

So I was looking at the spec on this after ordering one for my new rig and I saw that only the 600W PSU has an ATX2.01 specfication which I assume is the new 24 pin ATX spec. However, the 520W includes a BTX 24 pin connection and the PSU comes with a 24pin to 20pin converter as well. So, what is the difference between the two if any? I am confused that they both have 24 pin connectivity but only the 600W states ATX2.01.

So, can this PSU be used on the A8N with the ATX 2.0 spec?

Actually no they came out with a new revision of the ocz powerstream 520w. I have one right here sitting in front of me and it has the extra 4 pin just liket he 600w version to make a 24pin. No need to use a converter.

New revision? Are you sure it is not just the BTX spec which is also 24 pins and likely the same damn thing as the ATX 2.01 as far as I can tell? Hey also tell me one thing. Are there 2 PCI-E power cables??? That would be great if there were as no need for me to get an additional adapter. The pictures I have seen look as such.

like I say everything is almost exactly like the 600w version except it only has 1 PCIe connector and it has a 20pin and another 4pin adapater to make it a 24pin ready psu. It is also BTX ready and has adjustable rails in the back if you like I can take some pictures.

umm, I have the baby of that, teh 420W, brand new. Works great on the A8N, native 24 pin and all. If I remember, teh new 600W has dual 12v rails - a really bad idea for the A8N.
The 420W has just one PCI-e native, but an adapter is no problem.
