Zitat: As we discussed in our introduction, whether you prefer your power supply to be modular or not is a personal thing, dependant on what you value when it comes to building a system. For us, modular power supplies still have a lot to offer thanks to that relatively hassle-free cable management, and of course OCZ´s ModXStream Pro fits into that mindset nicely. In terms of its basic specification, there can be little complaint about this 500 Watt unit - Support for SLI is perhaps a bit too much of a boast in an era where modern high-end GPUs require two power connectors apiece, but there´s still enough connectivity and sufficient juice to run a solitary high-end board comfortably in a powerful system, which is all you can ask of a 500 Watt unit realistically. Add in lots of Serial ATA connectivity, the usual set of ATX +12V suspects and a decent fistful of Molex connectors and pretty much any system you can imagine building should be handled comfortably by this particular unit. The remainder of the ModXStream Pro´s design is also solid without being spectacular - Its 135mm fan is quiet but effective, and the overall look and feel of the unit is solid and not unpleasant; as we mentioned earlier, you can´t really expect a PSU´s basic design to go too far beyond being a metal box of components to the naked eye. The real beauty of the ModXStream Pro 500W is in its price - Although it isn´t the cheapest 500 Watt power supply you´ll find, it isn´t far off, and this is quite a feather in OCZ´s cap given the quality of this unit and how it compares in pricing terms to some of its rivals. If you´re looking for a new power supply in this kind of wattage range, then the ModXStream Pro 500W is not far short of a bargain provided it fits your connectivity needs - It might not set the pulse racing (it is a power supply after all!), but it does the job it sets out to do and does it comfortably, which makes it well worth a look.

Zitat: Advantages: + Quiet + Modular + Good performance Disadvantages: - Component quality

Zitat: 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 in the market.
