OCZ GameXStream 700w .V. Corsair hx series 620w?

[No.72]

I have just returned my Corsair 620w hx series, because of a rare fault. I know the corsair is a super psu, that tis why I bought it in the first place . But now as I have a chance of buying a new psu for £100 should I consider the ocz 700w?
I have herd very good things about it. I know it has done very well in some reviews as has the corsair
anyone have any experiences of the ocz?

I had the FSP epsilon 700w which is the same psu, and I wasnt impressed with it to be honest.

If you search these forums, youll see the problems that I had, but to sumarise, it was poorly built, fan problems, duff 4+4 connectors and the main atx plug wouldnt stay in the socket..oh and the fan stuck on full.

Other people swear by them, I swore at mine.

The corsair did seem excellent to me, the only problem is it didn't work but if you don't rate it I know I can take you word for it.

I know it's off the subject but what is the best water cooling set up under £120 as mi dad said he would pay for one .

Depends what you want to cool...what do you want to cool?

cpu e6300, possibly the gfx card, it is not essential. But if I could get a good deal with the gfx cooler on water that would be cool.

duff 4+4 connectors and the main atx plug wouldnt stay in the socket.

I'm having this same problem too with my 600W version main 20 pin atx connector is ok but extra 4 pin connector is quite loose. And they're not integrated so you can install 4 pin connector wrong way round......just like I did

There are kits, and there are cheap watercooling bits, but most arent very good, giving you temps not much different from air cooling.

The best way is to get seperate bits, but £120 isnt going to get you those realistically, unless you go for used ones.

There is this, but its not got a gpu block with it, and its a single rad. Bang on £120.

It all depends what you want to do, but if you can stretch it a bit more, youll get a much better setup. Also, did you want quietness or performance or both?

Well I just wanted that extra bit more for oc'ing the cpu really , as long as it's not horrifically noisy thats fine , is the corsair one any good? or is it not worth it, as in go air .

[Clunk]

That swiftech kit is probably your best bet then, you can always add the gpu block later. Noise wise, if you want silence, you need a rad that works well with low rpm/cfm fans, such as the Thermochill PA series, not cheap, but work well.

Rite o, cheers for the responses , I will look into it the world of water cooling more.
