OCZ EvoStream 600w Modular PSU
Connectors
Published: 30th October 2006 | Source: OCZ | Price: |
OCZ's previous modular PSU - the ModStream was always admired by 'Modders' for it's UV reactive modular cabling system. Let's see if the EvoStream has taken these desirable qualities on-board...
The EvoStream has a total of 10 connectors on the front of the unit. Six of these make use of the ATX/PCI-E style connector, with the other 4 using the aging molex style connector.
What I found slightly disturbing was that OCZ had used the same 6-Pin style PCI-E connector for connecting SATA cables. Users not paying attention to the EvoStream's manual or not noticing the subtle difference in the connectors colours could easily cause damage to their SATA/PCI-E devices by plugging the cables into the incorrect connectors.

The EvoStream is provided with a total of 10 cables - just enough to populate every connector on the EvoStream unit. All cables are RFI/EMI shielded and finished in a UV blue reactive coating.
The ATX connector on the EvoStream is native 24-pin. However, as you can see above, a small block of 4 connectors can be broken off to switch the connector to 20-pin, and thus make it compatible with older motherboards. This is also true for the 8-Pin EPS12v connector which can be split in half, providing the user with a 4-Pin P4-12v connector.
