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 block hiper food Type-R MK II 680 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 be, as is customary, emit from the housing through rear panel, but simply dispel into numerous holes and remain in the case. It is possible to effectively deal with unnecessary heated air in the housing by putting on top panel Fan, that's just this possibility is not always.

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 direct the air flow to the far from the back of the panel, since the air in any case should "go through" through the back. 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 absence of a full-fledged load stand, for testing, we used a computer system that you can attempt to be safely attributed to HI-END configurations, as it consists of three "top" video accelers GeForce GTX. 260 896MB and overclocked up to 4 GHz quad-core processor.

Test configuration that performs the role of the power supply load:

Motherboard	ZOTAC NFORCE 790I-SUPREME (Ultra SLI NForce 790i)
CPU	Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 (LGA775, 2.83 GHz, L2 2x6 MB) @ 4 GHz
RAM	2x DDR3-1333 1024 MB TRANSCEND PC6400
Video card	3 GIGABYTE GV-N26-896H-B GeForce GTX 260 896Mb DDR3 PCI-E DVI RTL
HDD	Samsung HD080HJ 80 GB 7200RPM 8 MB SATA-300
	SPIRE SWORDFIN SP9007B with two 120 mm fans

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.

Power 730 Watt - is there a lot or a little? Such power became relevant with the release of the new line of the NVIDIA GeForce 8 video cards and intel processors Core 2 Quad. And many manufacturers have prepared powerful power sources for the latest configurations. Most recently, the club "More 600W" and HiPER and HiPER, thanks to the announcement of the Type-M and Type-R models with a capacity of 730 W. It passed a little time from the moment of their appearance, but to get these models to today's testing managed. In the CIS market, the Hiper manufacturer has always been famous for the buyer and moderate prices for high-quality power supplies, often with additional circuit engineering and improved parameters. It is thanks to this that the model Type-R 580W knows everything who is at least a little fond of modding and follows the products on the computer market. Traditionally, Hiper positions the Type M series as high-quality blocks for servers and workstations.

⇡ Delivery set. Design

In retail, the Hiper M800 power supply is supplied in simple packaging with an uncomplicated and even ascetic design: white background, logo, name and ... all. However, the majority boxes also look budget models Many manufacturers, except that the handle for carrying is provided here.

Inside the box, everything is also concise: the power supply, power cable, tie on velcro, fasteners, instruction, warranty card. Only what is really needed to work.

The housing of the HIPER M800 model is made of durable steel and covered with black paint with glossy tide. The layout is traditional for most models of recent years: a large fan on the bottom plane is closed with a decorative lattice on the lower plane, "cellular" ventilating grille on the outer end - along with the connector for connecting the power cable and the power switch. The remaining walls are deaf, without holes.

The M800 cable system is fully built-in - includes the following items:

• 24 (20 + 4) -Contact main power cable system board ATX12V.
• Two built-in cables with 8 (4 + 4) - Contact CPU power connections
• Four cables with 8 (6 + 2) -Contact PCI EXPRESS Power Continuisors
• Power cables with eight SATA connectors
• Power cord with two molex connectors and one FLOPPY power connector

All cables are enclosed in shielding.

The BP cooling system is made on the basis of the 140 mm RL4P S1402512HH fan manufactured by Globe Fan. The key characteristics of the fan, according to the manufacturer's information, are: sliding bearings, nominal supply voltage 12 V, maximum current consumption 0.5 A, maximum rotation speed of 1800 revolutions per minute, airflow up to 135.74 cubic feet per minute (CFM), maximum Noise level up to 36.7 dBA.

The primary circuits of the voltage converter are made along the one-stroke scheme, using an electrolytic capacitor with a par with a par value of 470 μF, 450 V. All electrolytic capacitors used in the production of the M800 power supply unit are designed for operation at temperatures up to 105 ° C.

Radiators of cooling system are relatively small, but more larger than in most power supplies of new generations with high energy efficiency. In essence, the HiPer M800 model is made according to one of the schemes, quite popular couple-triple years ago, without additional DC-DC converters than, in fact, and the highest efficiency is explained and the need to dispel additional energy volumes in the form of heat on radiators.

The HiPer M800 power supply has the following protection systems:

• SCP - from short-circuit power supply output
• OTP - overheating protection
• OPP - Protection against overload in total power in all outputs
• OVP - Protection against output voltages
• OCP - overload protection

The performance of the power supply is very high-quality, installation, soldering, fastening large components and isolation in critical places is performed well.

⇡ Testing technique

Since our last articles on the power blocks, the test method used in the 3DNews laboratory has not changed. You can familiarize yourself with it in full, for example, in this article. The schedule, compiled by the results of a study of the efficiency of the test power supply, contains reference indicators according to the 80Plus family standards, as well as minimum requirements Basic standard ATX12V version 2.2.

⇡ Test results

Fill the load parameters test stand According to the model marking.

The test results of the HIPER M800 model in the automatic cross-load mode showed high stability in the entire load range, with non-paying deviations that do not mention the permissible standard.

In the static load mode with manual adjustment when removing the characteristics to build the Survection efficiency schedule, it was confirmed: one or two percent of the deviation from the nominal at maximum load, not more, with about 10% power overloading of the power supply above passport 800 W for approximately 20 minutes Also demonstrated a stable operation and a stock of the reliability of this model.

Below is a graph dependence of the efficiency from the level of load. Well, without stars from the sky, but it is quite worthy for an inexpensive model of such power.

RESULTS

The HiPer M800 power supply is not burdened with extracamplement, modular design of cables and other reducing delivery with features and components. At the same time, the stated 800 W, it gives it easily, while remaining quite quiet and not hot. The available set of power cables is more than enough to build a serious desktop system with multiple graphic accelerators and multiple drives.

As for the price, at the time of writing this article online retail offered the Hiper M800 model at a price within 3,100-4,300 rubles, which can be called quite adequate for powerful, 800-W model.
