I keep hearing bad things about OCZ's PSU's, are any of them true because after 15 months I've still had no problems with my 550w ZS series. I know there are better ones out there (including my favourites XFX/Seasonic) but are OCZ PSU's really crap or is it a case that a few people have bad experiences and then splash it around the net.

 

What are your thoughts?

They are bad. Many people report small explosions and pops and sparks.

i never used one honestly, but since you say you're having the best experience with yours, and no one ever came hear harping about his, i think it's what you said, several people had a bad experience with em so they made some others think they're bad quality

I've heard they're really bad. Made me steer away from buying one.

Specs are on my profile page
