Introduction:


First, a little about the company, OCZ Technology, Inc. Everyone refers to them as OCZ though. This next blurb is from their website:

"Entering the memory market in August 2000, OCZ Technology was built around the determination to manufacture the best high speed DDR and RDRAM. OCZ was founded by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts, and our commitment to the end-user has not digressed. OCZ Technology has been an innovator in many areas. We were the first manufacturer to make Dual Channel optimized memory available to the public, which originally took advantage of nVidia's Twinbank or Dual DDR architecture, found in their nForce chipset. We have now taken that technology and tailored it for the Canterwood, and Granite Bay chipset's. OCZ developed and was the first to implement ULN technology, which has been a critical element in our manufacturing process for some time. We at OCZ diligently work to improve communication with CPU and motherboard chipset manufacturers prior to the release of their products. Only in this manner can we fine-tune our memory's SPD settings, ensuring a synergistic relationship between the memory module, memory controller, and microprocessor. In today�s rapidly evolving semiconductor industry, such communication is not simply research, but a necessary component of our manufacturing process." ~

I've reviewed countless memory products from OCZ over the years. The first product I reviewed way back in 2001 was the OCZ Titan 3 (Geforce 3). OCZ has come a long way since then. While they have stopped manufacturing Video Cards, they are manufacturing other products, such as power supplies. The product they are best known for is their highly overclockable memory. OCZ is truly a company that caters to the hardcore computer user, and people who want to push every last drop of performance they can out of their system.

Even though OCZ is a late comer to the Power Supply market, they have had much success. I've reviewed both the PowerStream and ModStream Power Supply products and they were excellent. The PowerStream was different than anything else on the market at the time because it had adjustable rails. For that reason, this product went over well with performance enthusiasts. The ModStream's key feature is the modular cable design, which gives the user cable freedom. Their latest Power Supply Unit product is the GameXStream, and as the name suggests it's targeted at gamers. Let's have a peek, shall we?
