Mac, I don't know whether you've read it yet but the OCZ600ADJ-EU got a really bad review in Custon PC mag in a group test.
This is a direct quote:
"The OCZ has poor efficiency, averaging just 71% at full load. This means it had to draw a ridiculous 845w from the mains to produce 600w. Even more worrying is the very unpleasant smell it emits at full load, and after just 16 minutes it overheated, shut down and wouldn't switch on again.
Not only is the OCZ incapable of producing it's claimed 600w, but it's also inefficient."
I'm really concerned about this as I bought this product on faith, thinking that it was the best on the market at the time. Also it was very expensive.
Please tell me I haven't wasted my money & that they must have got a faulty one & that OCZ is looking into this.
Cheers
Jim
