Antec vs. OCZ

[dornick]

So, as circumstances turn out, I have both an Antec Neopower 480 and an OCZ Modstream 450. Which should I use?

Yeah, I already know which one but I enjoy confirmation and wasting your time. Thanks.

Antec. OCZ is overpriced.

 

[JMoore]

I would say you couldn't go wrong with either really. I would base my choice on whether I wanted the blue LED fan on the OCZ.

 

[sniperruff]

i still remember back in the days when OCZ was selling some rebadged junk and tried to cover it up. even now i don't trust OCZ.

The one that matches your decor better.

 

[dguy6789]

In terms of PSU quality:

PC Power and Cooling>OCZ>Enermax>Fortron>Antec.

 

[suicidalpigeon]

you forgot seasonic, tagan, zippy and a couple of other brands dguy, and at what models are you comparing at? a lot of them have different features, like modular. obviously pcp&c stands above all others, but the rest varies to someones personal preference.

Cant speak for the mod streams but the Power Streams are excellent,

I'm loving ajustable rails.

 

[Squyd]

I have both the Antec Truepower 550 and OCZ Powerstream 520. Strictly of those two, I have to say OCZ is superior. I love love adjustable rails!

More like sell it Just have to wait till monarch gets rid of that $15 rebate so someone will actually pay 70-80 for it.

ocz is good so is antec either one of those psu's would be fine.

 

[Stas]

Definately Antec.

 

[dnuggett]

I am a big fan of Antec, my TrueBlue has been going strong for about 2 1/2 years now.

Modstream :thumbsup:

I think too many people recommend Antec based on their past reputation, not their actual quality.
I'm not saying the Modstreams are the best out there, but with Antec, people just assume their products are good...but are they still?

 

[Operandi]

The Neo Power.

OCZ is just an overpriced Topower.

 

[Theguynextdoor]

OCZ. I've had antecs fail on me. I'm loving my Powerstream. Even at 420w, it's the most stable rails I've ever seen.

Yes. As I said I have nothing but praise for them, mine has never had one issue in 2.5 years of service.

My 350Watt Antec is handling 3 HDs, 2 optical drives, 3000+ @ 2385 (1.65V), 2x512 ram, x800pro @ 506/540, Audigy 2ZS, floppy, modem!

 

[rise]

i don't like modulars but out of the two i'd get the neo. my choice would be the tpII or the powerstream line.
