Stability

The 3.3v rail is slightly on the high side at both idle and load. However, it’s not too far out and is still at a safe voltage.

The 5v rail is reasonable with it scoring around the mean voltage of 5.06 at idle. However, at load this voltage fluctuates by 0.2v and so is slightly higher than we’d expect.

The 12v rail is the worst out of all the power supplies tested so far. The average voltage for the 12v rail out of all the power supplies tested is 12.2v. Therefore the scorings of 12.38v and 12.35v at load are way out.

From the power factor tests you can see that the ModXStream Pro 600W overall is making great use of the power being fed to it. It scored an impressive 43 at standby whilst the idle and load power factors are slightly below average.

The wattage tests proved the OCZ to be using only 95 watts at idle, which is the 2nd best scoring. At standby and load the results are positive as well with it using a similar wattage to all the units on test.

Noise

When first powering the PSU up we experienced a slight rubbing sound from the fan – this was the bearings wearing themselves in. The OCZ power supply was thereafter very quiet.

Cost

Priced at £65 Inc VAT the OCZ ModXStream Pro is slightly below average for a performance 600W power supply.
