PC Power & Cooling ModXStream Pro Series 700 Watt 80+ Semi-Modular Active PFC Performance Grade ATX PC Power Supply (OCZ700MXSP)

Pros: I have been using this power supply for well over a year now. I can't find a complaint with it. The modular design has been nothing but awesome. It's gone through a couple cases and easily fits. It has a good price point, it's very quiet, and comes with a bag to keep any spare unused cables stored away for a future addition.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Keep the fans dusted every few months and it'll keep running whisper quiet. When I say whisper I mean it. These fans are quiet!

Pros: ...

Cons: PSU failed after 2 years and it killed my onboard sound with it. I'm glad it didn't take the GPU or any other more expensive components when it died.

Overall Review: OCZ is more of a middle tier psu, better than Raid Max and the like but they aren't a top end manufacturer. Just pay the premium and go with a top end manufacturer and minimize ever having to use your warranty. Of course now I need to also RMA my mainboard as well.

Pros: Modular Big Quiet Fan 600 watts

Cons: Could have a few more cords and plugs for extra hardware

Overall Review: I bought one of these to run on a small desktop / game server. It was running a Super Micro board with Dual Intel Xeon cpus and a small handful of hard drives. It had run for 2.3 years almost solid 24/7 ( save for a few reboots and power outages. Today however, I powered down my machine and did a little maintenance and swapped out a drive. Upon trying to power the machine up the PSU greeted me with flash, bang and a little bit of party smoke. I am currently already writing to their tech support, if all goes well I will come back and give this supply a fresh review. Overall I am ok with the time I got out of it, it's just inconvenient that it failed on a Sunday and I am without my game server until at least tomorrow. Though I guess it's not so bad since it did fail within warranty, hopefully it's replacement will treat me better. Random side note: I am an electronics technician and small network admin by trade. I have worked on 100's of computers and other types of machines and the one thing I will state is that anything can and will fail. I have went through countless components in machines. The only thing I have really concluded is that you do get what you pay for. This was a decent mid-range PSU and unlike alot of CHEAP psu's I have run into, this one did not ruin my hardware when it failed, it only failed itself. This review is bitter sweet, I am out of a PSU for a few days, but at least I am sure I will get it replaced.

Pros: Works well under light loads. Mostly modular. Cheap.

Cons: This was used to power a computer that ran folding at home and thus was under load 24/7. One day, after about 4 months of ownership, I came home to the smell of burnt electronics. Then, I started getting shutdowns every time the computer was put under load. Turns out the power supply had gradually been wearing out. It still worked, but it could support nowhere near 700W of equipment. Replaced it with a Seasonic and had no problems since.

Overall Review: If you're building a lower power machine, maybe it's okay, but for heavy usage, I recommend saving yourself the time and money and getting a nicer power supply.

Pros: So far, so good. Quiet, sturdy, modular, seems quality and well built. Packaging is very nice. On sale w/ rebate.

Cons: Even though I didn't need two 8pin connectors, I'm surprised it didn't come with two. My vid card required one 6 pin and one 8 pin. But I know a lot of high end vid cards require two 8pin.

Overall Review: Powering [Ci7-3770K, Intel DZ77BH, 8GB DDR3 1600, eVGA GTX680 FTW+ 4GB, Apevia X-Dreamer case, Lite-On BD-R 12x, 500GB Seagate 3.0Gb/s]

Pros: Cheapest Modular I could get. Plenty of cables even though I only needed 1. Nice shielding on all cables. Sturdy. Very quiet. 3 yr warranty. Well packaged. NIfty bag included for all extra modular cables. Impressed with overall quality. Probably won't use in any builds for myself as I'm a die hard Corsair user. But would definitely recommend for other cost savvy buyers.

Cons: Nope

Overall Review: Even though it's not a full modular, it's not really necessary since only ATX and CPU cables are permanently attached. 1st OCZ PSU experience. Highly recommended. Reviews I read didn't lie.

Pros: computer started... still crashes. guess the powersupply wasnt my problem. :(

Cons: I hate rebates. Bought it on the 6th and got caught up on the christmas hustle. come back to claim the rebate and its expired. Bummer.

Pros: I'm happy with this power supply. Hasn't given me any problems, and it has plenty of different cable types. 700 watts of happiness.

Cons: Either my case is too big (Antec df-80) or the cables on this supply are kind of short. They just barely reach the components. Modular is almost useless because there are so many things in my computer that I ended up using all but one of the cables it came with.
