I completely forgot to comment this with you. This story happened a while ago, but today I’ve got a new e-mail from them about the same subject. Right after I posted the Huntkey Green Star 450 W review Huntkey contacted me saying that they would like me to take down the review and that they would start advertising on Hardware Secrets.

But one thing has absolutely nothing to do with the other. First we are completely unbiased: we do not accept any kind of financial compensation for writing our articles and our advertisement contracts aren’t bind to the publishing of any kind of article about the advertiser. This is so true that sometimes we publish negative reviews about products from our advertisers (e.g. OCZ ProXStream 1,000 W) and they know that our editorial content must be unbiased, otherwise our readers will never believe in us when we say that a given product is good. Our articles and reviews are completely spontaneous and the results do not have any sort of interference from the manufacturers.

Unfortunately we know several publications, both inside and outside the internet, that do all sorts of dirty business, like charging for publishing an article, charging for giving an award seal, publish an article only if the manufacturer advertises with them, and not publishing negative reviews in order “to keep a good relationship with the manufacturer”. These are just some examples of biasing that happens all around the world, a.k.a. “payola” (read this excellent article exposing this) – and you, our critic reader, should start paying attention to the websites you read. We don’t do anything like this and we repudiate publications that do it (we simply cannot respect this kind of publication). Start suspecting of any publication that only tells good things about all products they review and never writes a single negative line.

Apparently on this case maybe Huntkey thought we were one of these websites that accept removing bad articles in exchange of advertisement.

The funniest thing was that they said our results were very different from the results achieved by other publications. Well, besides what I already explained above, there is simply no way to compare our power supply reviews to these lousy reviews posted all over the web, where the guy gets a 450 W power supply installs on a PC that is pulling 150 W and says that the power supply is amazing. With the first Huntkey review we posted we bought a second unit and the results were absolutely the same. According to Jon Gerow, founder of JonnyGURU, Huntkey power supplies are known in the industry for having a real wattage of 100 W below their labeled wattage.

It is really funny how some companies instead of being worried about improving the quality from their products try to vanish with the reviews that tell the truth about them. All serious companies use negative reviews to fix their products.

greenstar is actually 450w...550w is peak power as advertised

Yups... usually true wattage too.. Of course, always check the specifications on that model first. 

405W or 450W? Enermax is usually true wattage. There is another Enermax model which is 405W. 

Bit of news: Huntkey Tries to Bribe Hardware Secrets

yea..juz like acbel e2 power..e2 power 470w is actually 420w true power

Forumer here still favor the so call True Powers, actually its just another marketing gimmick from the PSU manufacturer to cliam their PSU have the 'True power thingy'.

All we need is just calculate the output of the PSU, if output is same with what they claim/advertise and have 80% efficiency then its a good PSU.

Output Power 420W
Max. Power 470W
Efficiency 80%@115/230Vac

# Measured maximum power: 435.8 W at 50º C.
# Labeled efficiency: 70% minimum.
# Measured efficiency: Between 76.5% and 82.5% at 115 V.

Bad PSU:
- claim have 500W output, but real output is only 350W.
- low efficiency.
- low 12v rail output (put more out put on 5v and 3 v rails to fool users).

OK guys i having the current setup as below:

QX6800 OEM cooled with CM gemin2
2 x 1GB DDR2667 Kingston
Abit IP35 - E
Galaxy Geforce 7900GS 256mb
Seagate 500GB SATA2 32mb cache
2 x CM UV tube
3 x 120mm Ac Ryan UV LED FAN
1 x 80mm Ac Ryan UV LED FAN
Enermax Liberty 400W Modular PSU

Want to ask if i were to upgrade my gc to ATI Radeon 4850......does my PSU enough to support my whole rig ? thanks
