OCZ GameXStream 700W

OCZ is not a noobie to the PSU market. Their PowerStream and ModStream series did quite well. While they looked great, they also performed well. To cater more to the specific gamer market, they launched the new GameXStream series. Xtreme means it’s -going- to be good ;)

The GameXStream comes in two flavors.. 600W and 700W. Obviously, they are catering to big setups, most notably those with SLI. Either size should prove more than enough juice for any SLI rig, as long as you don’t have 30 hard drives and a 500mm fan. Unlike their ModStream series, the GameXStream is not modular, but all of the cables are sleeved. Overall, this really does look like a kick ass power supply. Let’s first take a deep look at the unit itself, and then we will get into the testing.

The PSU showed up in a very appealing looking box, that begged to be opened. All of the information you would ever need is plastered all over, including the wattage and voltages, and the specific features. Upon opening, we see a small pamphlet, the PSU and some screws. The screws are black, to match the PSU. Good stuff.

Here it is, in all of it’s glory:
