Ocz Powerstream 520w
I still love my Modstream power supply from OCZ but today there might be something that will change that feeling. We got a new “monster” power supply named Powerstream from them for review and this product really seems to be able to squeeze the most out of a power supply even under heavy overcloking. We will compare this to the Modstream and vs a Coolermaster power supply that also performs extremely well.
12V testing:
Just plain raw power comes with this power supply it doesn’t matter if it’s under full load or idle it still pushes out the same voltages. If you don’t think it’s enough just tweak the voltages a little with a screwdriver and you can have some more fun 
Conclusion:
Extreme power and stability is what I can say about this product. It’s a tiny bit louder than the Modstream but the noise is so minimal and the possbiilities that this power supply offers you just covers anything bad about this product. Overall this I feel is a high quality product that comes in a great box and manuals in three languages. This really shows that OCZ are prepared to take over the world market and really care about their customers. I have tested this power supply for quite a while now and I have not had any lockups, reboots etc with the testing rig and the noise is not bad at all. The testing says it all already and we give this product 5 out of 5 and our Editors choice award for the best power supply we have seen and tested thus far in time.
Pros:
+ Stable voltages
+ Very good test results
+ Well packed
+ Sleeved
+ Tons of power connectors
Cons:
- Three cables not sleeved
Red&Blackness gives it 5 out of 5 dots
