Ordered on 4th Feb with amazon free Super Saver Shipping it left on the 6th feb from Seller facility arrived 8th feb in Lexington KY and then finally to Miami on the 10th feb I got it in Trinidad 2 days later via a skybox The connectors are nice and snug on the supply itself and on the peripherals The 4 pin molex connectors have two lips or ears on the top and bottom that you press to help remove them from a device Be sure you do not press them while putting them into the device as it would not be inserted all the way
It worked right out of the box The fan is silent my cpu and gpu fans are more audible The air coming out the back does not feel very warm and it does not feel like alot of air either There is a 4 pin p4 AND 8 pin EPS motherboard power connector made into the supply I only use the 8 pin so it would have been nice to be able to take the 4 pin out but it just has to be tucked away I bought this because I plan to do xfire in the future and this is xfire capable
I scraped a tiny bit of paint off the back while lining up the holes to screw it into the case The edges of the case are not sharp and I was not pressing the ps hard on the case the paint is just very soft It is barely noticeable as it is just a line on the edge of the opening on the back of the case and it is the back so it will not be seen anyway I wish the red ModXStream Pro sticker was on the opposite side so I could show it off instead of the voltage ratings sticker As with all other ATX power supplies the holes only line up one way with the computer case so the fan is on the bottom drawing air from inside the case and pushing it out the back

Great power supply No problems runs everything in my computer with no problems hang ups or glitches Great
>> Good for the price
I got this power supply PSU for 2 reasons
1 Brand OCZ has a good customer service reputation so if this PSU failed within the warranty perdio I know I would be covered
2 Good price for a 600W PSU
I got it for a mid range system with an AMD Phenom II X 3 720BE CPU a MSI 790GX G65 board an ATI HD4850 and 3 hard drives There were enough connectors for everything and I still had 1 connection on the power supply I didn t end up using System has been stable for a couple of months now The one thing about this PSU even if it s SLI capable or Crossfire capable 600W will not be high end cards It can do low end 7000 series nVidia cards or HD4850 X2 or lower but anything more would be pushing your luck
Pros
3 year warranty
Nice packaging came with a small zip to put away extra cables
80 Silver certified 82 efficiency
Very quiet fan
Sleeved cables
Cons
Nothing especially given the price point
Not 100 modular but this is more of an aesthetic con and doesn t affect the quality or function of the PSU in any way these 3 connectors are hard wired 24 pin ATX 4 pin and 8 pin mainboard connectors
While modularity is useful except that because the core connectors are always used there s no sense in making them modular from a practicality standpoint and making those connectors modular only serves one purpose aesthetics which if you are willing to pay for there are top notch products that have this
