Conclusion

I have mixed feelings about the Olympia as it is fantastic in some areas and poorly let down in others. The performance is top notch, it's rails are very stable and even with the single 12v rail, the 120mm fan and honeycomb grilled rear keep this PSU running nice and cool. However, the Olympia is let down by lack of modular cableing, quick release molex's and the irritating whining noise. Looks wise it's quite subtle and isn't as flashy as other brands out there, but it's simplicity will appeal to most I imagine.

If you are looking for a stable PSU that will deliver the goods when you need it and not fail you then OP650 is right up your street. However, if when building a PC noise is a big factor for you, I suggest you look elsewhere.

Pros Cons
Stylish packaging and product Emits whining noise during 3D applications
Single 12v Rail Lacks modular and quick release molex cables
