OCZ PowerStream 600W Power Supply

     OCZ has really been cranking out the good products lately.  Most of the time I'm talking about their latest and greatest memory products, and they do have some good memory.  This time I get to review their latest power supply.  I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical when I was contacted about a power supply from a company primarily known as a memory manufacturer.  But from the moment I opened the box, I could tell that OCZ wasn't playing around.  Let's take a look.

     Seems like the in thing now is chrome finishes.  OCZ doesn't let us down here.  The finish on their 600w power supply is beautiful.

OCZ Description

     The OCZ PowerStream power supply family offers the quietest, most versatile and adaptable PSU available today. The PowerStream PSU family comes in 420W, 520W and 600W configurations; they are the ideal solution to your computer power needs.

     With its universal ConnectAll™ connector, the PowerStream power supply offers all-in-one connectivity. (ATX, BTX, Serial ATA, P4 and EPS12V) Every OCZ power supply offers PowerShield™ power leads with enhanced EMI-control technology to reduce RF interference, stabilize input current and filter out “ripple noise”.

     Each OCZ PowerStream family member includes the PowerFlex™ feature for fine-tuning the three adjustable power rails. An LED sits below each of the three adjustment dials; a green light indicates voltage is within ±5% of optimal, a yellow light indicates undervoltage, and red indicates overvoltage.

     The OCZ PowerStream PSU box has an eye-catching nickel-plated chrome finish and boasts green exhaust fan LED’s and colorfully wrapped wires.
