hell thats no deal for a Hiper >>>>>> Hiper is not bad, but it aint worth no $130.00

heck; you can get an Antec 650 watt three 12volts rails unit for that and the antec (really made by seasonic) is 85% efficent!

look for the efficiency rating on that Hiper ????? i cant find it??

this surely is no glowing review; not a bad review like I say mediocre PSU for ther high end class of machines

QUOTED from link:
This PSU isn't all just good looks, its performance is also solid. Voltages were all within spec, though a little high under a light load. Efficiency was about typical for any high-end power supply. Ripple was well within specs.

For all the hype that surrounded this power supply though, I can't say that it really something revolutionary that blew away my expectations. The actual internal design (the "guts") is really not that different than what you would find in any good quality power supply. The Type-R differentiates itself more by the custom cabling & chassis designs, which too is an important aspect of a good PSU. All in all, if someone was looking for a PSU that was just a little different than the rest, then I would not hesitate to recommend this PSU for them to consider.
