Unique Features

PowerFlex: The OCZ PowerStream is the only PSU on our bench today that features three adjustable power rails for the 3.3V, 5V, and +12V rails! So you can fine tune your PSU to maintain perfect voltage rails in the most extreme conditions. There are LED indicators to give you the signal if you have tuned the voltage too low or too high.

Pricing

The OCZ PowerStream 600W SLI PSU is towards the higher end of our price spectrum… sort of. You can find this PSU for typically around $179.99, but if you look in the right places, there is a good chance you will find a $40 mail in rebate (at the time of writing). So, that brings this PSU’s price point down to the middle of the spectrum, which causes this unit to become very appealing!
