OCZ ModXStream Pro 500 W Power Supply Review

Conclusions

OCZ ModXStream Pro 500 W is as good as the 600 W model we reviewed before, providing high efficiency (81%-85%), voltages very close to their nominal values (3% regulation against standard 5%), noise and ripple levels within proper range, ability to deliver its labeled power at high temperatures and protections up and running.

Internally both models are based on the same project, with the 600 W model having upgraded rectifiers for the +12 V and +5 V outputs. Externally, however, both models use the same cable configuration.

Then we have its price: only USD 40 at Newegg.com, making it a bargain and being a power supply with one of the best cost/benefit ratios on the market.
