System Protection:

There are no details given on the packaging or in the user manual with regards to system protection. I had a look on the OCZ website, as instructed to do so in the user manual for support and technical information and the only snippet of information I could find is that the OCZ ModXStream-Pro 600W has over-voltage, over-power and short circuit protection.

For your information included with the power supply, and this is a first, was an OCZ Technology Certified Test Report giving an over-current total power shutdown value of 782.9W. That's quite a large overload, but no indications of how much load was on the individual rails. This illustrates the fact that you could quite easily be overloading the power supply in your computer and you wouldn't know it. Do your homework on component power requirements, before purchasing a power supply.
