Solution maddogfargo May 28, 2014 Better? Probably not. The Rosewill Hive series is actually very good. Same as the OCZ ZS series. Both the Hive and XFX lines have Hardware Secrets Gold status and are very good budget PSUs. Here's a detailed test of the Hive 650: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Rosewill-HIVE-650-W-Power-Supply-Review/1460/1 The only thing to worry about between these two is whichever is on sale / costs less at the time.
