PC Power & Cooling ZX Series 850 Watt 80+ Gold Fully-Modular Active PFC Performance Grade ATX PC Power Supply (OCZ-ZX850W)

Pros: There are many things that I really like about this PSU. Let’s start with the cables; I like the fact that it’s truly fully modular. On a few of the reviews I have seen some comments are negative about the 24 pin cable being modular in my personal option this is a big plus. If I need to take the power off the board I don’t need to put my hand near the board “increases the chance of ESD” I can quickly disconnect the cable at the PSU. Faster and I don’t have to worry about damaging my Mobo or unplugging some of the small front panel wires just all around easier. The cable selection that came with the PSU varies in a good way. I have a bottom mounted PSU and I am running SLI the cables are all long enough that I can run them in a nice and neat way for good cable management. The PSU came with a nice bag to keep the unused cables in that was a nice extra that was not in the picture.

Cons: There is not much I don’t like about this unit. The only little thing I can say that the packaging has this little insert that I just don’t like. Call me to picky lol.

Overall Review: I am really pushing this PSU I am running a nice gaming rig with two Vid cards that I also use to create music with “Magix Music maker”. I have both my video cards over clocked and my Mobo along with my Intel XMP memory at 32 gigs pushed to the max. I also have a few extras installed and the PUS has had no hiccups and has been nothing but great.

Pros: Ran very well for a little over a year.

Cons: It exploded with a loud boom, (Like a .38 caliber
pistol shot next to me) and went dead. Provided quite an adrenaline rush as I thought it WAS a gunshot. Did not damage computer otherwise as far as I can tell.

Overall Review: OCZ was easy to deal with and just shipped me a new unit so we'll see how that works.
