    Default Corsair HX620w or OCZ 700w

    Considering a purchase between a corsair HX 620w Fully Modular @ £82, or an OCZ ModXstream PRO 700W @ £75.

    what do you guys think?

    The OCZ PSU only had 6 SATA power connectors, and you need 7 so Corsair it is as it's got 8

    I'd go Corsair, but then im biased towards them as I've never had an issue with their units...

    OCZ's RMA process has reputedly become terrible recently, taking up to a couple of months for replacement units to be sent out. Corsair's epic RMA service makes this a no-brain recommendation for the HX for me

    Well it seems that thats the 12V power output for the units

    OCZ 552W

    Corsair 600W

    The OCZ is mega low for a 700W unit. Although both PSU are pretty old now.

    The XFX 650W or the Seasonic 620W are both better units for the same or less money.

    So your going to spend £82 on the Corsair when you could get a Seasonic or an XFX for less?

    I think that's an error or something cause the 'stickers' for the 600 and 700W PSUs are identical. FAIL?

    Nope.

    They are just old PSU.
