What a monster.

I'm a big fan of OCZ PSU's, even if they are all made by Seasonic or FSP but so far my GameXstream hasn't let me down. The voltages look a little shakey by they are within the norm.

I'm thinking of picking up a replacement module PSU from them when I do my upgrade.

I'd love to see a review on this.

Does anyone actually need a 1000W for their supply or are their benefits to having such an excess?

The calculators I have run on my system put typical usage at around 250-300w. Surely even a quad core, 2xSLI system wouldn't be using anywhere near 1000W

It's not so much the wattage, as the AMPS that the PSU can deliver, and it takes the high wattage PSU's to do that.

OCZ is 'OK' I guess, but thier reputation has been somewhat spotty as far as quality goes.

I'll stick with Corsair. Especially for PSU's as every PSU in their line-up is top notch for quality.
