Another observation Dedicated to the middle class power supply from the Hiper brand. The M600 model of 600 W refers to the power sources of the initial mid-level and is designed to be installed in home or inexpensive gaming computers.
As the power supply is assumed in the Retail delivery, the M600 is packed into a high-quality box, but by opening it, you understand that there are no foam inserts inside the box, and the block itself is laid in the package and missed - you need to be careful when transporting. On the other hand, most blocks are supplied at all without boxes.
Inside there is a necessary kit for installing the power supply and network connection: Cable 220 V, a set of blocking screws to a housing, a set of screens for velcro wires, as well as a brief instruction.
Outside the block is similar to many other power sources, which is not surprising - it corresponds to the ATX standard. However, the appearance of the block body resembles a high-end model, which is what the black paint coating, a large 14-cm fan with transparent blades and power cables, sticked by a black nylon braid.
On the rear panel of the block there are large holes for air output, among which the power switch and the power plug were attached.
The cooling fan occupies the entire bottom panel of the BP housing, therefore the air flow created by them well blows the internal space of the device.
The fan, besides, is highlighted by red LEDs during operation. The backlight is not turned off.
System power cables are made non-clear, which is already distinguished by inexpensive blocks from more powerful and expensive, but the braids were awarded all cables, unlike many budgetary blocks, where the braid is either missing, or is present only on the pieces of the plumes.
The cable set is sufficient for the assembly system with a single video card segment of the Mainstream segment, or with two budget video cards.
· One power cable with a fork 20 + 4 contacts 48 cm long
· One 4 + 4-cm long processor power cable 48 cm long
· One video card power cable with two connectors 6 + 2 contacts 40 cm long
· One cable with two SATA connectors 40 + 14 cm
· Two cables with two SATA connectors and one molex 40 + 14 + 14 cm long
· One cable with two Molex connectors and one floppy Long 40 + 14 +14 cm
For a serious system of such a set, it will be not enough, but for an average home machine with one video card and even with a decent set of drives may well have enough such a set.
Inside
After breaking the unit, we will see a fairly ordinary picture, which was normal a few years ago - Hiper M600 was built according to a classic scheme with a group stabilization of voltages on magnetic amplifiers. Therefore, inside its corps, only two large radiator with developed fins are noticeable.
However, honors, and essential, from old blocks is a built-in active power factor corrector, which now requires to stop at all blocks with a power of more than 450 W. Its choke is located under the canister of the radiator with key transistors, which is cooled by part-time and APFC power elements.
The power capacitor has a capacity of 390 μF at a voltage of 420 V and produced by TEAPO. The duty stabilizer is built on the Top265EG Shi Controller, which provides high efficiency, and the PWM block controller has a PS223 marking. In the block circuitry, components are applied with low current loss, which gives hope for a high PBC of the power source, despite the fact that the 80Plus certificate is not declared by the manufacturer.
The main disadvantage of the HiPer M600, as a modern block, can be called a group stabilization of stresses, while most competitors use separate stabilization, albeit on obsolete and inefficient magnetic amplifiers. The minus of group stabilization is the ability to increase voltage on other tires if one of the tires will be increased power consumption. Of course, in 99% of computers of such a skew consumption it is impossible to achieve, but nevertheless, let's say, the test booth is quite this, although it serves only for verification. In reality, it is not worth afraid of group stabilization, but if it is critical for you the behavior of the power supply on your car and requires very stable meals, it is better to look closely to the BP with separate stabilization and better on the resonant transducers (many seasonic models). Filtering capacitors (which are manufactured by TEAPO with a positive reputation) at the output is sufficient to create optimal voltage parameters, their number is within the ATX 2.2 standard (two capacitor for each line). A quiet 140mm fan FUJIAN FJ1352512SH is used as a cooling fan, and in more expensive HiPER blocks.
By the way, the HiPer M600 block is the child's child's infamous company Andyson, with which, as it seemed to us, Hiper stopped communications, and here again. The main complaint to the Andyson blocks was disgusting soldering and poor-quality assembly. However, in our case, you can even notice in the photo, the assembly is quite high quality. Yes, and the component soldering is performed at a high-quality level - it seems, Hiper tightened quality control, which led to the improvement of all parameters. In general, the quality of assembly, circuitry and soldering claims to HiPer M600 did not have anything.
Characteristics
Testing
We conducted a small study of the block parameters at various loads, as well as measured its efficiency at various levels of load.
According to the results of the study, it is safe to recommend Hiper M600 to purchase. It withstands the stated power, fully complying with the ATX 2.2 standard for cross-loading characteristics. However, compared with power blocks with separate stress stabilization, it demonstrates less stress stability over the channels closer to the maximum load on the tires, but the voltage deviations do not exceed 4% (5% is allowed according to the standard). The efficiency of the block is equal to or exceeds 80%, but for some reason the indications of the compliance with the 80Plus certificate is not. Noise level, as it should be, was very low - a quiet fan is not accelerated to high revolutions, and by virtue of the high efficiency, the block does not heat more than 60 degrees, so it does not need a powerful blowing. It is HiPer M600 about 2300 rubles, which is quite inexpensive.
It was founded in the UK in 2001. Based on information about the company, on this moment The number of its employees is 250 people who work in Europe, America and Asia.
The product range of Hiper includes main power sources, as well as Hi-End Class, Fans, Media Center and Keyboards. In Ukraine, Hiper is purposefully applied, but sometimes in our state some batch of "exotic" goods fall. Today we have the opportunity to evaluate the HiPer Type-R MK II 680 power supply unit with a capacity of 680 W.
At the moment, in the range of power supply companies, there are as many as five episodes. We test the Hiper Type-R MK II 680 model from the Gamer's original line, which is distinguished by the presence of additional USB connectors on the rear panel. In the lineup, it is possible to count five models, but if you do not take into account the color execution, it will make that there are only three power options - 680 W, 770 W and 880 W. So, it turns out, we test far from the most "strong" solution in the series.

A rare case when the user is on a par with the power supply itself may be interested in its packaging. Indeed, the plastic basket is not just original in itself, but can find practical application. It is very convenient to carry out all kinds of tools, it is equipped with a drawn handle from above. The packaging design is also quite high quality and stylish. On the sticker there is a flag of Great Britain and labels lists the main advantages. It also noted that the USB connectors on the rear panel are patented innovation.
From the reverse side of the Power Supply HiPer Type-R MK II 680, the information is often tasted - the number of connectors and the length of the power cables.
Complete with Hiper Type-R MK II 680 power supply, you can find:
- Network power cord;
- Modular network Euro-plug;
- Modular 3-pin plug;
- A set of modular cables with peripheral connectors;
- Power adapter with 8-pin PCIE on 6-pin PCIE;
- Instruction;
- Four screws;
- Stickers.
More than unusual, and not completely justified, a modular power cord is made. But in principle, we can assume that this is greater than the manufacturer's initiative - the number of components without losing in universality. Thus, HiPER power supplies are presented, something like mobile solutions that are perfect for exhibition equipment and various overclocker events. Connectors are connected quite simply and at the same time tight, which says about good contact.
Another original product of the HIPER product was the modular connection of "pigs" with peripheral power connectors. From the HiPer Type-R MK II 680, only three cables with one peripheral connector on each are given from the HiPer Type-R MK II 680. Moreover, the cable is different. By adding the connectors by a modular way, it is possible to avoid excessive races of cables. Drive drives and drives have a small consumption current, so there will be no multiple transitional contacts for them to play for them. But if you use a powerful video card with the help of them, then in terms of reliability, such an execution looks not very successful.
All other cables are connected to the Hiper Type-R MK II 680 power supply, not via modular connectors, but, as usual, soldes. The length of the power cables pleases, but their quantitative composition is not very. There is a 6-pin and 8-pin PCI-E connectors on the power supply. That is, actually the power supply with a power of 680 W is supposed to be used for a computer system with one powerful video card or two middle-class solutions. In addition, just for the most productive dual-time video card ZOTAC GeForce GTX 295, it is recommended to use the power supply with a power of 680 W. But the measurements of its energy consumption have shown that these requirements were strongly overestimated.
From positive qualities it can be noted that absolutely all power cables are located in a nylon braid, which fastenses them and protects to some extent.

First of all, due to the perforated case, the HiPer Type-R MK II 680 power supply is quite unusual and attractive. For a larger effect, the power supply was equipped with a 140 mm highlighted fan (photo in working condition can be seen in the review below). The fan is covered with a full-fledged metal grill type "Grill", on which the company's logo is glued in the middle.
In such a type of hull, the air flow has no clear direction. Therefore, the heated air will not, as is customary, emitted from the housing through the rear panel, and simply dispel into numerous holes and will remain in the case. It is possible to effectively deal with unnecessary heated air in the housing by putting a fan on the top panel, that's not always such an opportunity.
Wires from the HiPer Type-R MK II 680 power supply are not all out together from one opening, as it usually happens, but from different holes. Moreover, the edges of the case are prudently closed with plastic rings, which protects insulation from damage.
Nine USB connectors, of which one can withstand the load from charging are made to the rear HiPER Type-R MK II 680 power supply panel. mobile phone. Its maximum load capacity is 1 A. So it is possible to be sure, the owner of Hiper Type-R MK II 680 will definitely decide for himself the problem of the lack of USB connectors. Also on the rear panel there is a power voltage button.
Judging by the values \u200b\u200bon the label, the 680 W power supply unit HIPER TYPE-R MK II 680 has four "virtual" power lines + 12V on 18a each with a total load capacity of up to 624 W. The maximum power of the lines of 3.3V and 5B is excessive 180 W. In general, it is possible to state a sufficiently successful distribution of loads on the lines, and also note that the peak power of the power supply can reach 890 W. In addition, the Hiper Type-R MK I II 680 label emphasizes certification by CUL, TUV, CB organizations.
The HiPer Type-R MK II 680 is disassembered, as usual, simply. To do this, only you only need to unscrew the four screws. Inside the power supply, elements are quite tight, so consider their marking and the nominal value is very difficult.
Plus, Hiper Type-R MK II 680 Power Supplies is the presence of a rather massive cooling system that has three aluminum radiator With long "petals" at the top.
The main diagram of the power supply unit is planted on a double-sided PCB, judging throughout the usual solder, as it is not mentioned about compliance with ROHS standards.
Of some unaccustomed moments, it is possible to include the presence of a heat shrinking dielectric tape on all chokes.
Choke and power supply transformer have pretty big sizes and quite correspond to the power of Hiper Type-R MK II 680. In the chain of the rectifier, you can see a large condenser 390 μF 400 V.
A USB-HUB board is mounted near the rear panel of the power supply.
HiPer Type-R MK II 680 uses high-quality SAMXON production capacitors from the limit operating temperature - 105 ° C.
To cool radiators in the power supply, a large 140 mm Yate Loon GP D14SH-12 fan is used, the housing of which is made of transparent plastic. The model has eleven blades and is based on the bearing of sliding. The maximum rotational speed of the Yate Loon GP D14SH-12 fan is 2800 rpm on which the air flow can reach 48.5 CFM, and the noise level is 28 dB. But thanks automatic system Rotation speed control, when operating the HiPer Type-R MK II 680 power supply, behaves very quietly. Only with a very large load appears slightly noticeable background.
It can be noted that the fan on the HiPer Type-R MK II 680 power supply is almost half covered with a plastic flap. The feasibility of such a step in the case of using a perforated case is questionable. Usually the flap is used to send airflow to the far from the back of the panel, as the air in any case should "go through" through rear part. But for HIPER TYPE-R MK II 680, this condition is optional, because the air flow can exit through any panel convenient to it.
But thanks to the special performance of the body and the fan with blue illumination appearance Care of unusual effect.
Testing
For the lack of a full loading stand, we used for testing computer systemwhich at the moment you can safely attribute to HI-END configurations, as it consists of three "top" video accelerators GeForce GTX. 260 896MB and overclocked up to 4 GHz quad-core processor.

With the help of the Mastech My64 digital multimeter, we performed stress measurements on the main power lines + 12V; + 5V; + 3.3V, and the Seasonic Power Angel device was determined by the power coefficient and the total power of consumption by the entire system with the power supply.
Measurement of voltage values \u200b\u200band power consumption were carried out in the maximum load mode and simply. Maximum load on the system we tried to create using the SmartFPS application in the Crysis Warhead game at a resolution of 2048x1536 with AA4X and AF16X. This is not the most convenient and accurate way to determine the power consumption by the system, since the load changes dynamically. Therefore, we did several "runs" of the scene in a row and calculated the average value of maximum readings.
For the HiPer Type-R MK II 680 power supply unit, we obtained the following voltage deviations:
HiPer Type-R MK II 680 Power Supplies perfectly with the power supply of a system consisting of three "top" video cards. Cedals on the line +5 V and +3.3 V was not at all, but on the power line +12 V, but at all insignificant. If you wish, this power supply could be used to power a similar configuration, that's just a catastrophic shortage of connectors Feels additional nutrition PCIE. In addition, the peripheral connectors directly to the BP are attached only three, which demanded even greasy adapters.
Active PFC highly raises the power factor. The HiPer Type-R MK II 680 record has not installed, but showed a very high result.
By efficiency, the HiPer Type-R MK II 680 power supply was at the level of the remaining solutions of this class. Even more, he showed the result a little better than all other power supplies, which were tested this time. The exception only became the SEASONIC SS-850EM Active PFC F3 record holder, which is made on a new, more economical DC-TO-DC conversion scheme.
Finally, the power consumption of the system in Standby mode was made (in the off state) and in SLEEP (Sleeping) mode. It turned out that Hiper Type-R MK II 680 spends two or three watts more than the indicative SEASONIC solutions. The STANDBY mode accounts for 4 W, and on SLEEP - 5 W, which is higher than the Energy Star Ver standard requirements. 4.0.
conclusions
The HiPer Type-R MK II 680 power supply has been revealed to a sufficiently strong "nut", easily coping with the system of three "top" video cards. Unfortunately, his owner is unlikely to be able to complete the potential of the power supply, as cables and connectors for connecting PCIE-consumers is a very limited amount. In addition, 4-pin power connectors are supposed to be connected to each other, which complicates the use of adapters. HIPER TYPE-R MK II 680 is perfect for cases when a very reliable, quiet and beautiful modding solution is required. If, in terms of noise, he will have competitors, then according to the originality of the perforated case, which is highlighted by a large 140 mm fan, it is accurately no equal. But in this regard, it is not fully understood how it can reflect the installation of such a power unit for ventilation inside the case as a whole. Since the heated air from the HiPER Type-R MK II 680 power supply is not necessarily emitted via the rear panel, and in all directions at the same time.
To the merits can be attributed:
- greater power;
- spectacular and original appearance with a luminous fan;
- USB-HUB on nine connectors;
- equipping with high-temperature capacitors;
- active reactive power compensation module;
- quiet cooling system with 140 mm fan;
- high level of efficiency;
- easy peripheral connectors;
- 5 years warranty;
- Nylon braid on wires.
The disadvantages include:
- non-standardity standards ENERGY STAR VER. 4.0;
- only two cables with PCIE connectors;
- the absence of a fan rotation speed monitoring.
We express my gratitude to Peter the spout for the power supply provided for testingHiper. Type- R. MK. II. 680.

In this review, we have to get acquainted with four power units from a fairly well-known company. Hiper.which has long been familiar to the Ukrainian overclockers of strange products for enthusiasts. Three episodes were presented for the test Type S500., Type M550, Type K700. and K1000. The review will consider the structural and circuit breeding features of the power supplies in the order of increasing power, and the sweetest will leave last.
Hiper Type S.500
This model is the most affordable, the test hit without a box in a plastic package, no power cord is missing. Power unit meets the standard ATH 12V v2.3..
Characteristics
Wires and connectors
The power supply has a non-removable cable made by conductors with a cross section 18AWG, the cable to the ATC 24 main power connector is pulled by a black plastic mesh, the remaining cable is pulled by plastic ties. The cables have the following length and number of connectors:
Design and circuitry
The power supply is made in a steel anodized housing in size 150 x 140 x 86 mm. Electronic components are cooled by a fan DFS122512H Production of the company Young Lin.the size of 120 x 120 x 25 mm with a 12 V power supply voltage and a power of 3.4 watts.
The fan is controlled automatically depending on the temperature of the radiator on which the output rectifier diodes are installed. The fan has a two-wire inclusion scheme, connects to the board through a two-contact connector. Automatic fan control increases the resource of the fan and lowers the noise level from the BP.
This power supply is performed according to the already classic structure, the base is the one-dimensional Speat Inverter, it is powered by a stabilized voltage from the output of the active corrector of the power factor ( PFS), which gives the input current to the form close to the sinusoid. The power transformer inverter has two output windings, one of them is designed for the power of the +12 V and -12 B line, the other winding is designed for the power of the lines 5 V and +3.3 V. Rectifiers on the lines +12 V, -12 in and + 5 V is connected directly to the power transformer, the output of which enters the output filters in the form of electrolytic capacitors through a general throttle with three windings. Thus, the current in any of the windings affects the output voltage and the other two lines. With such an output stage, the output voltage is stabilized in total on two lines +5 V and +12 V. To accurately stabilize the output voltage, this output must be loaded in proportion to the maximum operating current for each line of power, if the current on the +12 l line is proportionally higher than the line + 5 V, then the output voltage along line is +12 in slightly falls and on the line + 5, the opposite will grow, and the total voltage on the stabilization unit will remain unchanged. The output rectifier along line +3.3 V is connected to the winding of the line +5 V through a choke from a special ferromagnet, to which a constant shift is supplied which magnetifies the magnetic circuit. Adjusting the volumetric current by a special scheme perform an independent stabilization of the voltage +3.3 V. But since this rectifier is connected to the power winding of the line +5 to the current over the line +3.3 V slightly affect the output voltage over the line +5 to which in its The queue affects +12 V., respectively, with such a circuitry to achieve the high accuracy of the stabilization of at the same time all output voltages in wide power ranges is simply unrealistic. But as practice shows high accuracy and is not required, since all major components of modern computers are powered by their own independent voltage stabilizers installed on the motherboard or controller board specific device. And those nodes that feed directly from the power supply, have a rather large stock in the input voltage ranges.
In this power supply unit, the PFC and the inverter are controlled by one CM6806AG combined controller. Power keys inverter are made on field transistors P21NM50N.(21 A 500 B), which are installed on a separate radiator. On the same radiator, the key inverter of the duty power supply of + 5VSB is installed. Active RFC is performed on a powerful choke, field transistor 21t 50c3 (21 and 500 c) and output diode RFS STTH12R06D. (12 A 600 V), the key with a diode mounted on a separate radiator with an enlarged area due to the curved edges, the input rectifier is installed on the same radiator, the type of which it failed to install without dismantling. Active RFs loaded electrolytic capacitor 270 MKF 420 in TEAPO with the maximum electrolyte operating temperature of 85 ° C performing the role of the input voltage input inverter.
At the exit power transformer along the line +12 in installed two diode fences in the parallel STPS30H100CT (30 A 100 V), through the power line +3.3 V and +5 V are installed two identical diode assemblies Stps4045cw. (40 A 45 V). All output diodes are installed on a separate radiator. All low-voltage electrolytic capacitors have the maximum electrolyte operating temperature of 105 ° C. At the output of the power supply of the +12 in line, four electrolytic capacitor with a capacity of 1000 ICF 16 in the production of Jun FU and another same capacitor on line - 12 V. At the output of the lines of +5 V and + 3.3 V electrolytic capacitors were installed capacity 3300 μF 10 In the production of TEAPO and connected through a small throttle capacitors with a capacity of 2200 μF 10 in the company's production Jun Fu.. The output voltage monitoring performs the PS113 chip, which manages the signal " Power Good»Watching all the output voltages of the power supply and current over the + 12V1 and + 12V2 lines that are artificially separated through individual shunts with a single output +12 V. Judging by the free holes in the board next to the monitor chip, this fee may have four virtual lines +12 In when installing the necessary items.
In general, the installation of the components is made quite efficiently, all massive parts are planted for sealant to reduce the influence of vibration, the only thing that rushes into the eye is not even installation of radiators.
This is a measure to improve the efficiency of cooling radiators, although most likely it is the result of smaller production control or a small defect of a specific instance. AD-128 Rev: C3.
Installation and soldering SMD components do not cause any complaints, everything is smooth and beautiful.
Testing
Testing the power supply was performed on a special bench, which has six independent load lines +3.3 V 82 W, +5 in 125 W, and four lines + 12V 300 W each. The line of the duty power supply is +5 V and the line -12 in loaded with a constant current 2a and -0.5 and, respectively. This stand allows you to automatically remove cross-load characteristics ( KNH) - The dependences of the output voltage by a specific line from the specified output power over all the main output lines of the power supply lines.
When testing the power supply, the air temperature in the room was about +17 ° C, the fan rotated rather quietly, against the background of other fans, it was generally silent, at the end of the test only slightly increased the turnover of the fan, subjectively on the hearing a very quiet power supply. All other power supplies were tested similarly in the same conditions.
The graphs above are the dependences of the output voltage along line +3.3 V, + 5V and the line + 12V, depending on the load on these lines. In the color of the graph, you can define the deviation of the output voltage. Since the +12 volt line, the general one is represented by one graph of the dependence of this voltage, the overall nature of the voltage change from the power distribution in both virtual lines +12 V will be the same. Absolute values \u200b\u200bon the contacts of the connectors can be slightly different due to the different number of conductors connected to the load, since the conductors have their resistance and there is a drop in voltage. There is no particular sense to monitor each line separately. As for the inscription on the Load 12V1 + 12V2 + 12V3 chart, then this is the total power of the loaded load lines of the stand itself, to which all cables having a +12 V. are uniformly distributed.
Hiper Type.M550
This model comes in a black cardboard box, complete with a power supply of the power supply cord, two sets of fastening screws (chrome and black with a notch on an enlarged head with the ability to screw them without screwdriver), a set of plastic strips on velcro and installation instructions, if Suddenly someone does not know how to install it and connect it. Power unit meets the standard ATH 12V v2.3. With support for SLI and CrossFire.
Characteristics
All necessary data on the power supply parameters are listed on the block housing:
Wires and connectors
The power supply has a non-removable cable made by conductors with a cross section 18AWG, all cables are pulled by a black plastic grid. The cables have the following length and number of connectors:
Design and circuitry
The power supply is made in a steel case with a size of 150 x 140 x 86 mm, painted in black matte color. Electronic components are cooled by a fan FJ1352512SH (N.) Production of the company Young Lin.135 x 135 x 25 mm with an operating voltage of 12 V power supply and a maximum current of 0.7 A. Fan has lED backlight Red, fan rotor made with transparent plexiglass.
The fan is controlled automatically depending on the temperature of the radiator on which the output rectifier diodes are installed. The fan has a three-value inclusion scheme, connects to the board through a pair of two contact connectors.
Through a separate blue wire, power on the backlight LEDs, therefore, the brightness of the backlight does not depend on the fan revolutions.
The highlighting of the fan will be useful to the owners of the enclosures with transparent walls, the rotor with a transparent plexiglass have a soft uniform glow.
Power Supply M550 Made by a similar scheme that and S500. Moreover, on the same board and has the same power components and controller, the difference is only in the size of the radiators of cooling power components and in the capacitance of the inverter power filter capacitor, the capacity of which is 330 microf 420 V with a maximum electrolyte operating temperature of 85 ° C. At the output of the block, diode assemblies and capacitors are installed with the same parameters as and the S500 difference only in the diode assemblies housing along the +3.3 V and +5 lines - SBR4045CT(40 A 45 V).
Radiators have a coating of orange and greater than that of the S500 area of \u200b\u200bthe working surface. The printed circuit board has the same label as the S500 block.
Testing
As expected, the nature of the dependence of the output voltage from the load of the power supply unit is similar to the behavior of the S500 block, a small difference in absolute values \u200b\u200bis caused large quantity conductors in output power cables and capacitance of the input filter capacitor.
According to sound characteristics, the power supply is subjectively similar to the S500 model, although it is possible at high loads in a closed case, a 135 mm millimeter fan will be more quiet.
Hiper Type.K700

The size of 135 x 135 x 25 mm with a 12 V power supply voltage and a maximum current of 0.7 A. The fan has a LED backlight of blue, the fan rotor is painted in silver color.
Fan have a similar M550 Connecting cables and automatic circuit control depending on temperature.
The K700 power supply unit is made by similar scheme engineering that both younger models. But design pCB slightly different. Installed two large radiator. On the top according to the photo above, the power components of the inverter and PFC are installed, which controls the same combined controller CM6806Ag As two younger models. On the lower radiator according to the photo, the output rectifier diodes are installed.
There is still a small radiator, which cools the diode bridge of the input rectifier. The type of power components failed to be correctly read due to dense mounting. The input filter of the inverter is made on an electrolytic capacitor with a capacity of 390 μF 420 in the company's production TEAPO. With the maximum operating temperature of the electrolyte 85 ° C. Electrolytic capacitors with a capacity of 2200 μF 16 V for lines + 12V and -12 B for lines + 12V and -12 B, 2200 μF 10 V for lines +3.3 V and +5 V. All capacitors have a maximum electrolyte operating temperature of 105 ° C. In this power supply, another microcircuit of the monitoring of output voltages and currents, which have the RS223 marking and the DIP16 case exactly two times more than two younger models.
Connectors for connecting removable cables are dispersed on a separate small board, which is fastened with four screws to the wall of the power supply housing.
The circuit board has labeling AD-1T8 Rev: C1.
Installation of components is performed very well.
Testing
The nature of the dependence of the output voltage from the load of the power supply through the lines is +5 V and +12 in a similar behavior of two younger power supplies, although the line +5 in has a little more stable than the younger blocks, and the +3.3 V line has an almost perfectly smooth characteristic at least And the absolute value is slightly understated. In general, K700 has good stability for such an operating range of capacity.
Upon sound characteristics, the power supply is similar to the M550 unit.
Hiper Type.K1000
This model comes in the same package and in a similar configuration as the K700. The power supply responds to the standard ATH 12V V2.91 80Plus With support for SLI and CrossFire.
Characteristics
All necessary data on the power supply parameters are listed on the block housing:
Wires and connectors
The power supply has a non-removable ATX cable, two processor power cables, two video sealer power cables and one SATA power cable. The cable made by conductors with a cross section 18AWG, all cables are pulled by a black plastic grid, have the following length and number of connectors:
Additional power cables of video selerators and drives as have a similar K700 connection, the number of cables and connectors, as well as their length.
Design and circuitry
The power supply is made in the steel case with a size of 150 x 165 x 86 mm, painted in black matte color. All the same fan is responsible for cooling the components. FJ1352512Sh. Production of the company Young Lin. The size of 135 x 135 x 25 mm with a 12 V power supply voltage and a maximum current of 0.7 A. The fan has a LED backlight of white, the fan rotor is painted in golden color.
The fan has a similar K700 and M550 Cable Connection and Automatic Radiation Control Depending on Temperature.
But inside us expected surprise and not even one. The first thing that immediately rushes into the eyes is two boards with massive chokes standing vertically on the edge of the main board.
After an inspection in detail, it was found that these are impulse single-phase downstream stabilizers with a synchronous rectifier. Thus, the overall circuitry of K1000 is slightly different from the circuitry of three younger models, in this power supply unit, the main inverter has one output voltage +12 V and -12 B, and the output voltages of +3.3 V and +5 V are formed by two independent pulse stabilizers, data Scheductural tricks should very positively affect the stability of the output voltages especially along the +12 V. line
With a detailed examination of the plates of stabilizers, it can be seen that they are the same, apparently they differ only miscellaneous setting output voltage. Shim controller is responsible for the work of the stabilizer APW7073., keys are made on two pairs of field transistors Me25N03.. Electrolytic filter capacitors high quality with solid-state electrolyte, input 470 μF 16 V and output 1500 μF 6.3 V.
But on this surprises did not end, it turned out that the output rectifier along line is +12 in the same synchronous, instead of diodes in the rectifier, there are keys on the field transistor, which are controlled by a separate low-power winding of the power transformer. This solution gives smaller power loss on the rectifier than on Schottky diodes, which are commonly used in conventional rectifiers. In this block, the power instead of diodes is set to a pair of keys, the main consisting of four installed parallel field transistors. ME80N08.(80 A 80 V) and blocking key of three similar field transistors installed in parallel. The technical documentation for ME80N08 states that the transition resistance in the fully open state is 0.004 ohms at the maximum current. Since transistors are included in parallel, then the overall key resistance will be less than as many transistors installed.
The microcircuit of the PFC control and the inverter is installed on a separate board installed vertically, the controller type failed to read because of a highly dense installation, a similar situation with other power components. The output voltage monitor microcircuit is the same as in K700.
Connectors for connecting removable cables are disappeared on a separate small board, on which additional electrolytic capacitors with solid-state electrolyte are installed to further filter output voltages.
The circuit board has labeling AD-1K8 Rev: C4.
Installation of components is made very high quality.
Testing
As expected, we have a very high stability of the output voltage along line +12 V in the entire capacity range. The fact that the output voltage is overestimated by one percent no matter, it may be small errors in setting up this instance, more importantly, the voltage is dead on established level. The stress stability along the +3.3 and +5 lines is slightly lower, but at maximum load below the nominal did not descend.
On sound characteristics, a subjective power supply is similar to the K700 unit.
Summarizing

According to the results of the test, we see that the company HIPER produces high-quality power supplies for all occasions, from simple to very powerful and technically "cheap" models that can satisfy any requests for advanced users and extremals. The quality of the execution of younger models is not far behind the top. All sources have active power factor correctives, which favorably affects the level of the power supply by the network to the network, as well as the ability to work in a wide range of network voltages. Buying any of the company's products, you can be calm for the quality of purchase regardless of its cost.
Express the company's gratitude Hiper.in lying David Kibizova For the power supplies provided for testing.
We offer to discuss material in our special branch.
Among the power supplies sold in the retail it is very difficult to meet products in the original and comfortable packaging, which may later serve as its owner and again. For example, to store any trifles. At best, some manufacturers are ready to offer a completely comfortable cardboard box with a handle, decorated in the fantasy and taste of their employees, which, of course, will be disposable. In the case of the acquisition of high power power supplies, the mass and dimensions of which are already quite tangible even for relatively healthy middle-aged men, the cardboard box is not a comfortable packaging, especially if it is not equipped with a carrying handle. Perhaps the most successful solution for such tremendous components is a rigid plastic box with rounded corners, handle and latches. Surprisingly, but a few years after the issue of Hiper, the first models of the Type R series (it is in such a package), it did not have followers and imitators.
But the work of the creators of packaging from cardboard does not know the boundaries: what the boxes did not have to see. But most of them are not too convenient, especially when it comes to high power supply blocks, which, in addition to the noticeable mass and dimensions of the device itself, usually have a large number of Complete wires that also occupy a lot of space in the package.
Of course, the packaging is the last thing you need to look at when buying a BP, but I really want a high-quality content to have a high-quality shell.
As for the hero of today's material, this is a representative of the older K company HiPER. The model K700, K800 and K1000 is also available in this series. With the younger model from this list, we have already met on the pages of our resource.
The power supply is supplied in the package intended for the retail and is a plastic box with a folding lid. Packaging is equipped with a carrying handle. Spontaneous opening of the castle are impossible. That is, the manufacturer has worked very well.
Perhaps the appearance of the BP itself to someone will seem stylish, but in our opinion, he is rather analyapous. The combination of the matte black case and a mirror silver fan could make a positive impression at the end of the nineties of the last century, when almost all power supplies were the same gray color - but in 2012 such a design seems somewhat not quite adequate. But that's not all. The fan has an integrated unconnected backlight - of course, blue. The backlight is bright and will illuminate the housing from the inside almost completely.
Characteristics
All the necessary parameters are indicated on the power supply housing in full. For the power of the bus + 12VDC declared the value of 732 W. This value is between the corresponding values \u200b\u200bof the standard power supplies with a capacity of 750 and 800 W, the power ratio over the tire + 12VDC and full power Basic power channels is 0.83, which is a low indicator for modern solutions Similar power.

This unit of the power supply uses the so-called modular wire connection system with connectors for the power components inside the system unit. This design allows you to remove unused wiring harnesses, freeing more places and giving a more accurate type of the intenshes of the system unit.
The number of connectors and their placement on the wiring harnesses if it is not optimal, then in any case, it is close to that today for the power supply of this power. Of course, it would be somewhat better if the SATA Power connectors were distributed over the three harness (4 + 2 + 2), but this is not as critical factor in order to give it great importance.
The length of the wires in this power supply is average. It will be quite enough to use in the MINITOWER, MIDITOWER and FULLTOWER and FULLTOWOWER sizes with the upper BP, as well as in the compact sizes of the MiditoWer size height in the range of 40 cm with the lower location of the power supply. In more overall housings with the lower arrangement of the power supply, it is possible to be an insufficient length of the wires to the processor power connector.
Cooling system
The main semiconductor elements are installed on three radiators with a base thickness of about 4 mm with developed fins, which strongly overlaps the elements located nearby - increasing the streaming resistance to the flow from the fan.
Under the wire grid, a fan FJ1352512SH is installed with a three-wire connection of FUJIAN, which has a three-wire connection: via a two-contact connector to the main board and a separate wire - to power the blue backlight.
Testing the power supply
The first stage of testing is the operation of the power supply at maximum power for 20 minutes. Such a test with confidence allows you to make sure the performance of BP. IN this case Special problems did not arise. On the channel + 3,3VDC there are significant deviations from the nominal, on the channel + 5VDC deviations are relatively small. On the channel + 12VDC deviations from the nominal minimum.
The next stage of instrumental testing is construction of cross-loading characteristics (KNH) And the presentation of it on a quarter-terms limited to the maximum power over the tire of 3.3 & 5 V on one side (along the ordinate axis) and the maximum power over the bus 12 V on the other side - along the abscissa axis. At each point, the measured voltage value is indicated by the color marker depending on the deviation from the nominal value.
| Size designation deviations of output voltages from nominal | ||
| Color | Range of deviation | Quality assessment |
| more than five percent | unsatisfactory | |
|---|---|---|
| up to +5 percent | badly | |
| up to +4 percent | satisfactorily | |
| up to +3 percent | oK | |
| up to +2 percent | very good | |
| 1 percent and less | excellent | |
| up to -2 percent | very good | |
| up to -3 percent | oK | |
| up to -4 percent | satisfactorily | |
| up to -5 percent | badly | |
| more than five percent | unsatisfactory | |
It is worth explaining that if there are deviations within three percent, the power supply parameters can be considered at a good level.
This model has no deviations over five percent in the entire tested power range. Almost all over the range, the measured voltage values \u200b\u200bwere opened by two percent, with the exception of a section on low-average power for the channel + 3.3VDC - there is deviations within four percent, which can be considered a satisfactory indicator.
With a typical power distribution over the channels, the output parameters of the power supply are at a good level.
The next stage of testing is measure full powersupplied to the power supply active powerconsumed to them and in calculation of the efficiency and power coefficient.
According to our measurements, the efficiency of this BP reaches the value over 85 percent in the power range from 300 watts. Maximum value About 88 percent was recorded at 500 W output. At the same time, the efficiency at low power amounted to about 63 percent. The scattered power graph is a sufficiently smooth line without sharp bends - however, after a point of 800 watts, it increases slightly, which indicates an increase in the incremental value of the power dissipation.
From the point of view of conversion efficiency, the most optimal range of operation of this model is from 100 to 800 W.
Measuring noise level
In this material, we continue to use a new method for measuring the noise level of power supplies, which is still experimental status. The power supply is located on a flat surface with a fan up, above it is 0.35 meters, a meter microphone Oktava 110A-Eco is located, which is measured by noise level. The load of the power supply is carried out using a special stand having a silent operation mode. During the measurement of the noise level, the power supply unit at a constant power is operated for 20 minutes, after which the noise level is measured.
A similar distance to the measurement object is the most close to the desktop location of the system unit with a power supply installed. This method Allows you to estimate the noise level of the power supply in hard conditions in terms of small distance From the noise source to the user. With an increase in the distance to the noise source and the appearance of additional obstacles that have a good sound refrigerant ability, the noise level at the control point will also decrease that lead to an improvement in acoustic ergonomics as a whole.
When operating at low power, noise from the power supply is located on the middle-performance level for residential premises during the daytime.
When working on medium power in the range of 200-350 W, noise is at a level above average when locating in the near field; With a more significant removal and placement under the table in the case with the lower position of the BP, such noise can be interpreted as an average level. During the daytime in the residential room, a source with a similar level of noise will be completely noticeable, but it is easy to transfer quite easily, especially at a meter distance and more, and in office room It will not be too noticeable, as the background noise in offices is usually higher than in residential premises. At night, the source with such noise level will be good noticeable, sleeping near will be difficult.
On the power of 500 W, the noise of the power supply is approaching 50 dBA mark, and with a load of 750 W - exceeds it. Noise at such power can be described as high enough. To be in the near field from such a source of noise, there is still uncomfortable even in the office conditions. With a more significant removal, the source will also pay attention to itself, but it will be to a lesser extent.
When measuring the noise level at a small distance in three modes of operation, we were convinced of the absence of extraneous ghosts (pisculation, whistle, etc.); Electronics of this model of BP works very quiet.
Assessment of consumer qualities
Decent electrical characteristics and not too developed acoustic ergonomics are usually present in the Gamer's power blocks of the average price category. At the same time, such power supplies are required long wires for trouble-free placement in the overall housings with the lower arrangement of BP, while this model has a very small length.
Exterior design is very specific. But perhaps someone, such an entourage will have to be placed.
This model has a number 900 in the title, which, in our opinion, implies the corresponding output power by the main power channels: + 3,3VDC, + 5VDC, + 12VDC. The manufacturer has a slightly different position: the power of the main channels is 879 W, while the power of the + 12VDC tire is only 732 W. Such power is typical for modern models of leading manufacturers with a capacity of 750 W. So, during the operation of this BP in the real system, in any case, there will be a certain supply in total power, which will be almost impossible to use. Does such a stock need? Everyone can solve independently.
RESULTS
Of the advantages of the model, it is worth noting good electrical characteristics and excellent packaging. At the same time, there is a relatively low load capacity over a bus + 12VDC for a power supply unit with a power of 900 watts. The remaining parameters are at the average level. There are also complaints to acoustic ergonomics.
