I should, but that means taking this pc down again, and I don't feel like doing that

Why is there nothing about the noise it produces in this review.
I want only silent PSU's

The PowerStream 470W i have here is virtually silent... i did some preliminary testing using Antec Power supply tester with 25W Load and Digital Multimeter

Out of the box - Green LED
3.3V = 3.417
5V = 5.19
12V = 12.19

Lowest dial - Yellow LED
3.3V = 2.874
5V = 4.48
12V = 10.65

Highest dial - RED LED
3.3V = 3.83
5V = 5.61
12V = 13.28

Borderline Green LED (just above Yellow LED)
3.3V = 3.156
5V = 4.7
12V = 11.32

Borderline Red LED (just above Green LED)
3.3V = 3.452
5V = 5.29
12V = 12.65

Green = within -/+ 5% range
Yellow = lower than -5% range
Red = higher than +5% range

some good info, no matter what the load, the rails can all be adjusted to fit the situation

Like on a TruePower

Too bad Antec completely screwed up the design of the front bezel

I'll need to make a new on which suits my case :grum:

I find the Antec design to be quite okay actually.

Too much plastic alike imo and it's too dark to match aluminium cases...

I've read that those ocz have no PFC

PSU's sold in Europe are required to have a PFC, either passive or active.
