Today on the review block is OCZ's ModXStream power supply, a more advanced version of the GameXStream. We previously reviewed their GameXStream and were extremely happy with the performance of the unit, the amount of connections it provided and its price. The ModXStream is the next generation of PSU from OCZ that comes equipped with modular cable capability, the latest trend in power supply units. The idea behind having modular cables is that it allows the user to do much better cable management as well as allows them to only use cables they need. This is of course a benefit when looking at creating a cool environment within that case by allowing good air flow. The ModXStream comes packed with a wide variety of features including PowerWhisper (to keep the PSU quiet) and is backed by OCZ's PowerSwap replacement program.
