Introduction
Hiper were first known within enthusiast cycles for their Type-R PSU series released back in early 2005. Its many features, good looks and relatively competitive price made it a very reasonable choice of unit for a powerful system of the time. Three years have passed and Hiper have decided to completely redesign and revive the Type-R series, announcing the Type-R MKII units. These MKII units are entirely different than their predecessors, both in terms of features and appearance. Today we will thoroughly examine two Type-R MKII units, the HPU-5K880 and the HPU-5B680.

The Type-R MKII units are supplied packed inside a small but usable toolbox instead of a cardboard box. While a simple plastic toolbox like this doesn’t cost a lot, it surely is an innovative idea and certainly more useful to somebody than a simple cardboard box. Besides that, the plastic walls of the toolbox also provide superior protection to the unit during transportation.

Both of the units share the same bundle. You will find a small bag which holds all of the extra cables and connectors, the modular AC power cable and both an UK and EU plug, some screws and two stickers with the company logo. Finally you will find a very well written manual and user’s guide in every package.
