The market for consumer electronics and computer hardware has been generally immune to this sponsorship phenomenon — that is, with one exception. There are a host of products out there stamped with the name of a certain Johnathan ‘Fatal1ty’ Wendel. Fatal1ty, if you’re not familiar, has on the order of 30 “notably accomplished” gaming tournament placements on Wikipedia, including five 1st place finishes for Quake III Arena.
OCZ has done a refresh of their Fatal1ty power supply series, but it may not have been for the better. Let's take a close look at the new PSU now.
The power supply market has always been fiercely competitive, with PC Power & Cooling always remaining a solid staple for nearly two decades. If you have built any systems in that wide range chances are good you have heard of PC P&C, who partner with OCZ Technology to bring their PSUs to light. The prime example is the Silencer series, which has and continues to be a huge hit for the two companies. After a lengthy hiatus, the Silencer family gets a new addition in the Silencer Mk III, which aside from other innovations, brings the series to the modular era. Compared to previous Silencer lines, the Mk III division is also going one step ahead by offering a broader array of wattages and efficient ratings. Ranging from 400W to 1200W, the lower-end models from 400W to 600W are 80 PLUS Bronze certified; the high-end 750W and 850W flavours are 80 PLUS Gold certified, and the extreme 1200W model sports the 80 PLUS Platinum rating. Technology X will be reviewing the OCZ x PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk III 850W PSU, which at $160 provides a solid seven-year warranty and more than adequate power output. While not completely passive, the fan-equipped MK III tries to live up to its name and provide noiseless top-notch performance while remaining proficient in the process.
OCZ Z Series is the 80 Plus Gold-certified power supply family from OCZ, and so far they released an 850 W and a 1,000 W model. Let's see if the 1000 W model will live up to the expectation.
Today I will be looking at the highest efficiency rated power supply that I have received yet, the OCZ Z Series 650 watt power supply. With efficiency rated at over 88%, this power supply is 80Plus Silver rated. It sells for a price that won’t break the bank and is SLI certified. Read on to check out the OCZ Z Series 650!
OCZ Z Series is the 80 Plus Gold-certified power supply family from OCZ, and so far they released an 850 W and a 1,000 W model. We have already reviewed the 1,000 W model, and let's see now if the 850 W model will live up to the expectation.
Today HardwareHeaven are going to have a look at a model from the best power supply family OCZ has to offer, the Z Series. The Z Series consists of only two units at this point of time and it is the 850W model which we will review today. OCZ must be very confident about their Z- series, claiming boldly that these products are "nothing but the best". In this review HardwareHeaven are going to put the Z Series 850W to the test and see how well this unit can really perform.
Die ZS-Serie von OCZ soll den Einsteigerbereich bedienen und dabei diejenigen Kunden ansprechen, die eine Leistung von mehr als 550 W benötigen. Ein typisches Beispiel der Kombination aus viel Leistung und geringem Preis. Wir klären, ob OCZ diese Kombination in Form des ZS 650W auf eine solide Art und Weise realisieren konnte.
It is hard to believe it is already mid-October already. It seems not too long ago we were all enjoying the sunshine and days off -- at least that is how I feel here at APH Networks Vancouver, with the weather slowly becoming the usual colder, darker and filled with rain (As most Vancouverites has come to expect at this time of the year, anyway). Although if there is a good thing to take out of this weather, it would be the time spent inside. For me, I may finally have some time to write a review, do some work, and in general, spend more time in front of my computer. So for all those who will be spending more time in front of your computer like yours truly, there is one crucial component in a system that are often overlooked, and that is the power supply. A few months ago, we have covered the OCZ ZX Series 850W; OCZ's flagship performance PSU. Today, we will be diving deeper into a product from the other end of the spectrum, and that is the OCZ ZS Series 550W -- a more budget friendly power supply for enthusiasts who are looking for reliability and performance on budget. Nowadays, you can get a good quality power supply from a reputable manufacturer for $50-60, so why cheap out on the part that keeps the life of your computer going? Without further delay, let's dig right into our report, and check out all the juicy details to see if this product is right for the task.
OCZ have had many successes in recent years, and one of the most noticeable would be their StealthXstream series of power supplies. Today we are looking at a very competitively priced power supply in their new value range, the ZS Series 550W which replaces the StealthXstream 2.
