The OCZ GameXStream features active PFC (Power Factor Correction) to effectively regulate input voltage and provide superior operation in a wider range of environments and countries with varying voltages.

Owing to OCZ’s proprietary PowerWhisper Technology, the GameXStream is the quietest PSU available so gamers can hear their games and not their PC. Kept ultra-cool with a large 120mm fan, the powerful GameXStream still remains virtually silent and supremely cool even at peak loads.

The high-efficiency 600W and 700W GameXStreams feature a standard-sized power supply form factor resulting in a compact footprint to accommodate virtually all computer towers. The GameXStream PSU connector cables, including dual PCI-Express and a 4/8-pin CPU connector, are wrapped in a flexible mesh promoting a tidy environment inside the case.

All OCZ GameXStream power supplies come backed with an industry-leading three year OCZ PowerSwap Warranty for the ultimate peace of mind. Second to no other gaming PSU, the GameXStream’s unprecedented quality, power, and performance is the preeminent solution for today’s serious gamers.

Is this what’s going to be available soon?? If so how much and how soon? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Me wants one..

In India… dunno… but I saw this in another forum and they mentioned price for the 600w as given under … some more comments from that thread…

ZipZoomFly is selling the 600 watt GameXStream for a very reasonable $139 (currently on back order)

FYI: a rep from OCZ stated on another forum that OCZ is currently working on another premium PSU unit called the “Elitestream”…but this is awhile away from being released…Elitestream is planned at 850W and higher, the issue of how high is under debate and the only reason for going to 1000 Watt was to help the P4 CPU and huge overclocks, but with Conroe coming this may not be needed now

there is also a fully modular PSU coming called the EvoStream…it will be available in 600 and 700 watt versions and is said to be very efficient.

@joess … so the 700w would be the same as Karan’s FSP FX700-GLN in his super review here… nice to know… thanks…

Funny thing is noone really needs more than 500w but we’re all going out and buying 600/700w PSU’s… seriously, if you’re not running SLI/Xfire systems, you don’t need >500w – hell, even if you add a sophisticated watercooling setup with a 12v pump you don’t need >500w :slight_smile:
