Zaključak

Na temelju svih dojmova i rezultata testova, te ponašanja u radu, 500W OCZ CoreXStream napajanje možemo okarakterizirati kao low-mid end komponentu koja bi uz male preinake lako mogla postati odličan proizvod. S obzirom na rezultate mjerenja u ovom trenutku, ovo napajanje zaslužuje solidnu ocjenu, ali ne i odličnu. Kao što smo spomenuli tijekom prethodnog teksta, kabeli su poprilično velik uteg koje ovo napajanje mora nositi u svome radu. S obzirom na relativno kvalitetnu unutrašnjost i solidne rezultate manjih railova, te sasvim pristojnu cijenu (400 – 450 kn), ovo napajanje bi mogli preporučiti korisnicima manjih desktop računala, ili recimo manjih HTPC mašina. Upravo u takvim slučajevima bi se ovakvo napajanje snašlo odlično, a do izražaja bi dolazile samo njegove vrline.

 

Conclusion

Based on our impressions, test results and its work performance, we can put 500W CoreXStream in a lower middle segment, which could be an excellent product with just minor tweaks. However, based on our measurement results this PSU deserves a good rather than excellent mark. As we have mentioned in our Corsair GS800 Bronze review, cables are a heavy burden which both G800 and CoreXStream 500W have to "carry" in their operation. Regarding to the quality interior components and good results of the minor rails, and taking into account a fair price we could recommend this PSU to the users of smaller desktop PC`s or HTPC`s. This PSU would strive in that kind of usage, and it would show only its good sides.
