Introduction
OCZ has released a great number of power supply units lately, each targeting a particular market. We had the chance to test several powerful units from their line-up here at DriverHeaven, most of which were top of the line products. Today we will take a look at a more versatile unit, the ModXstream 780W. It offers a little bit of everything; high efficiency and power output combined with good aesthetics and low noise operation. So in theory, the ModXstream unit is the perfect unit for everybody. Sounds a bit too good to be true, doesn’t it?

The maximum power specifications of the OCZ ModXstream unit which we received are pretty much astonishing. Ironically, the specifications are better than those of the best power supply OCZ currently offers, the ProXstream 1kW. Of course, the ProXstream is a completely different kind of beast, as it is a very heavy, rigid unit designed with maximum performance in mind. We are not sure that the ModXstream can compete with that, but as long as its performance is adequate and the unit is stable it will be a fine unit.
