High
Performance Group, most commonly referred to as
Hiper, is a newly found UK based company which
has became well known for their high performance
power supply units. Hiper acquired most of their
fame for the Type-R series which was released
a few years ago. The Type-R series were high performance
modular units but a lot of attention was given
on their aesthetics factor. Today we will take
a look at another approach from Hiper, the Type-M
series. The Type-M series are not modular and
look quite simple, but they are considerably cheaper
than the Type-R series and apparently perform
just as well or even better. We will soon see
if they are worth your time and money.
The
unit we received for evaluation is the HPU-4M670.
It boasts a maximum output of 670W and has four
separate 12V lines. The features and specifications
of the Type-M 670W unit are:
Features:
• SLI-Ready.
• CrossFire-certified.
• All PSU come with 3-Year RTB warranty.
(Void if seal is broken)
• Four independent 12V rails.
• Patented design device extension cables.
• Complies with the latest ATX form factor.
• Fully compatible with AMD 64 bit and Intel
LGA processors.
• Active Power Factor Correction (PFC).
• 20 dB(A) under normal load.
• Gold Plated connectors for minimum power
consumption and optimal conductivity.
