Our Rating
Despite its low price, OCZ's ModXStream Pro 500W PSU has modular cables, and provides plenty of connectors.
It did brilliantly in our tests, outputting stable voltage on both of the 12V rails. These can both output 18A for a total of 36A, so the unit can distribute a total of 432W over these rails.
Efficiency averaged out at 85 per cent, which isn't bad, but higher-rated supplies are even more efficient.
A large, quiet fan keeps the PSU cool, making it ideal for a media centre or desktop PC. With its low price, three-year warranty and modular cables, it wins our Budget Buy award.
