OCZ is quite a well-known manufacturer of various products targeting especially the segment of tech enthusiasts, overclockers and extreme gamers. Over the years, it has rolled out a very impressive lineup targeting the aforementioned segments, consisting of memory products, peripherals, cooling solutions and power supplies, all of which have managed to enjoy a very high level of success.
This is also the case with the particular power supply unit we've recently tested, namely the MOD Xstream-PRO 600W model, which will be able to support without any major problems some very complex computing systems, including here PCs running NVIDIA or ATI/AMD GPUs in SLI/CrossFire configurations.
Since this particular device is aimed mostly at those people who want to build themselves a solid system for gaming and other activities, without spending an exaggerated amount of money on the
PSU, we won't go into specific details regarding the power measurements, instead providing you with an overall view of just how this thing behaves in real-life conditions, while connected to a powerful computer that can tackle the latest games to arrive on the market.
Despite being around since the autumn of 2008, the MOD Xstream-PRO 600W really manages to establish itself as a competitor on this particular market segment, due to the level of power efficiency it is able to provide, as well as the fact that we're talking about a fairly silent unit, compared to other 600W PSUs available out there.
Moreover, the pricing also makes this particular PSU a prime choice for certain users, the price/features ratio certainly tipping the “purchase decision balance” in favor of OCZ's power supply unit. Of course, it's up to you to decide whether this ratio suits your financial situation during this rather poor economic period, but we hope to provide you with enough data in order to take a sound decision.
