MODTHEBOX would like to thank Jessica from OCZ Technology for sending the OCZ ModStream 520W Power Supply for review.

The ModStream 520W Power Supply is one of two current power supply offerings from OCZ Technology. Most consumers may easily recognize OCZ as a manufacturer of some truly top-notch memory modules. The ModStream power supply is designed with the modder in mind and includes a modular design and removable cables. The PowerStream is non-modular and includes stock power cable configuration. Here are some of the specifications taken directly from the OCZ Technology website:

The OCZ ModStream 520W Power Supply arrived completely undamaged and packed fairly securely in its bubble wrap support bag. The box itself was pretty flashy with images of OCZ52012U and a copy of the power ratings listed on the side.

The OCZ ModStream 520W Power Supply includes an assortment of modular cables that were tucked inside a separate box above the power supply. The manual is sparse, but provides enough information to help novice users with the installation and troubleshooting. The package also includes a bag of multi-coloured Velcro tie wraps which I thought were a nice touch.
