well that is still a Topower PSU
OCZ doesnt manufacture power supplies
but thanks for the heads up, I knew it was going to be released but was unaware it had been
(though they seem to have issued a general recall

Guys if you or anyone you know has a 600W power stream get them to contact me or support so we can arrange RMA's. It seems the first shipment was damaged and we have pulled all the 600's back from the stores and are replacing them with new units. The new ones should be going to the stores today.

Sorry for the trouble this has caused all of you.

between an OCZ 600w and an enermax EG701AX-VE (600 watts, peaks at 700w +), i'm happy i chose the enermax !!!

OCZ might have had a problem with their powersupplies but they are replacing the powersupply and my x800 card free of charged. I emailed them about 6 at night and had a rep calling me at 6:30 with rma info and info about replacing the video card. That I call good customer service.
