OCZ PowerStream 520 Pink Fondu
Test It
All voltages were taken from the ATX power connector and compared with voltages reported from Motherboard Monitor 5. They were taken without load (no computer connected), after the computer had idled for 30min, and again after 30min at full load. Load was achieved by defragmenting the Western Digital hard drive while rendering a 5min film in Vegas 4.0, and running folding@home in the background to use any spare CPU cycles. Vegas loads the system by reading large video files from a drive rendering a video effect frame by frame and then writing the frame to the hard drive again, this particular sequence taxed my system at 97-99% at all times, any remaining CPU time was used by F@H and the fragmentation utility.
The OCZ PowerStream has power. Quite simply if you need lots of power, clean and adjustable voltage, all while looking good and keeping quiet, then OCZ has a power supply with your name on it. So all of you out there looking to upgrade to a new FX-55 and 6800 Ultra SLI, think about putting some cash into a solid power supply, I would start with OCZ.
