Following up our recent ProXstream 1KW PSU review, we have the latest SLI ready Power Supply from the OCZ stable - the GameXStream 700W. Modular, ultra quiet with a glowing blue light. What more could anyone ask for!

Price:  £80 + VAT
Supplier: OCZ Technology
Manufacturer: OCZ Technology

The GameXStream PSU comes in a serious looking dark blue box with lots of the all important information plastered all over. Inside the PSU is well protected in a bubble wrap cover to ensure it arrives in mint condition. Other stuff includes a power cable, a very well written user manual and the four screws for mounting it in your chassis. One thing that caught our attention was the velcro tie wrapped around the cables. There's nothing worse than a mass of cables springing all over when you take a PSU out of the box!

Features

The GameXStream is not a modular PSU but all the cables are sleeved. The PSU has a matt black finish which looks kinda ordinary after seeing the sleek mirrored finish of the ProXStream. The PSU is actively cooled by the top mounted 120mm fan which is covered by a black grill. The 2500RPM fan is lit by blue LEDs and it runs very silently.

The back of the unit has the usual power cord connector and the ON/OFF switch. The honeycomb mesh on the back also helps to passively cool the PSU. A sticker on the side lists the specs and details about the 12V Output Distribution List.

The GameXStream PSU has Active PFC which means there is no need for a voltage selector switch. The following is a list of the connectors:

• 1x 20/4 pin ATX power connector
• 1x 4 pin CPU power connectors
• 2x 6 pin PCI-E power connectors
• 2x 4 pin Molex connectors
• 2x 4 pin floppy power connector
• 6x SATA power connectors
