OCZ 520w Owners I have a Quick Question.

Mr. $T$ · Feb 26, 2006

I can't seem to find a decent picture to verify this but is this unit backwards compatible to ATX? I'd like to get a PSU I can grow into and I have a socket 478 Abit IS7 ATM.

TIA.

Mine works with my asus p4c800 and 478.

Also I just found out the 500w Fortron is backward compatible also. What is the better powersupply? I've heard Awesome things about both which makes it very tough to decide.

I think one of the main + to the OCZ is the silence. That's why i would buy it over the Fortron.

i'd buy the cheaper one. And for that matter, the fortron is definately cheaper, IIRC.

i thought the single 120mm in the 500w bluestorm made it extremely quiet?

the ocz barrelly gets warm, thus the fans are ALWAYS running really low, therefor the quitness

and trust me, you want the ocz warrenty

The 560W Zeus is getting very popular very fast - it's an industrial grade server unit dressed up for the consumer market. Other similar units are the PC P&C 510W, and Zippy's new gaming units.

Of the models mentioned, the Fortron AX500-A is the least powerful and the Silverstone the most. Being OEM Etasis, the Silverstone also has a build quality advantage over both others. However, the OCZ is the tightest regulating.

I saw that in the other thread, many people were very impressed with its build quality as well the tight voltage readings. I also hear it's very efficient mid 80's range.
