We received the OCZ GameXStream 850W - OCZ-850W PIC - a few days ago. Even though it does not have native Quad PCI-E connectors we have not had any issues running the following configuration 24/7 yet.
X6800 - overclocked to 3.93GHz
Asus Striker Extreme 680i MB
2 x Video Cards - MSI GeForce 8800GTX cards - overclocked to 714/1080
2 x Optical Drives - Sony 18x DVD/RW - Plextor Blu-Ray
1 x Hard Drive - WD1500 Raptor - Boot Drive
3 x Hard Drive - Seagate 750GB 7200.10 RAID 5
4 x 1GB Memory - OCZ PC2-8000VX2
6 x 120mm Fans - Cooler Master Stacker 830 Evolution
1 x Liquid Cooling System - Cooler Master Aquagate
1 x SB X-FI
Unlike a couple of 650W and 700W power supplies we have on hand this particular unit has not had any trouble powering our test bed to date. One of the apps we used during stress testing was Flight Simulator X that took everything our 8800GTX tandem could throw at it and laughed. :evil:
We still need to complete some technical testing on this unit (other 850W supplies are scheduled to arrive shortly) but so far we give the OCZ unit a thumbs up at this time. Our only two quibbles at this time is that the noise level is louder than the 700W unit (not so much the volume as it is the tone during load) and the lack of Quad PCI-E connectors. We no longer have worries about the power requirements for our R600 cards or AMD's 4x4 system when they arrive.
