HERE is the totally lame review for this power supply unit..

as u can see.. above is writting 85% efficiency for this unit.. but when go to read the specification sheet, there only mention 70%..

By the way, i waiting my PSU come and play around it..
if nice, i will keep it,
worst, i will sell it...

I got one Huntkey 550W PSU, my comment : a value for money PSU.

can i know working in wat rigs?
i wonder this can goes up a HD4870X2 or not..

I use it on a normal office PC, not gaming rig. . .

HD4870X2? got money to have so high end card still using below RM200 PSU meh? but this Huntkey 550W one got not problem to pump up the 4850 and 4870 card.

this psu do have modular n wattage arround 750 n up

huh??
wat u mean by "wattage around 750 n up"?

low +12Vs, low on +5V... nah, i'll pass , to me... get a good, reputable PSU rather than a cheap PSU... why get a cheap PSU when you bought good mobo, good processor, graphic card and all that...

have u play around this unit? come .. come give ur comment

You sure? then please list some of the good & reputable 500W PSU +12Vs and +5V, I want to know how much +12Vs and +5V they got. . .

this PC Power & Cooling 510W

+5V @ 40A
+12V @ 34A/38A
-5V @ 0.3A
-12V @ 2A
+3.3V @ 30A
+5VSB @ 3A
continuous = 510W
peak = 650W

and this is Silverstone ST56ZF

+5V @ 40A
+12V @ 38A
+3.3V @ 40A

Corsair HX520W

+3.3V @24A
+5V @24A
+12V1 @18A each (got 4 rails - which is i never trust on multi-rail design)

so... does this Huntkey or even other cheap PSU can meet this setting?

lol wat i mean is, this psu is it available with 750watt and above

huh... u mean this power supply can pump up to 750watt?

what's so hard to understand...

this brand (Huntkey) has 750W range and above , not this PSU can operate up to 750W...

thanks bro 4 explain on my behalf...

donno maybe my english not so good i belive...

oo... i get it.. haha..
by the way.. waiting my PSU come on tuesday from casextreme..
will post picture here soon^^

I believe that Vantec is better i terms of stability, rail and quality.
Price is almost the same. Better go for vantec.

not for Vantec, get the real PSU manufacturer...

not talking about branding, but get the real OEM one , if Silverstone, the original maker usually Impervio and Etasis, PC Power & Cooling some of their line even use Seasonic (i'm not so sure though), if CoolerMaster is Acbel (IIANM) Corsair is Seasonic also

Woh, nice comparison here you got, taking something which is double or triple the price of the Huntkey 550W one, why not compare it with the Silverstone ST50F or ST56F? (which is also more expensive the Huntkey)
And for the Corsair HX520W I don't see much differences between it and the Huntkey spec.

I can say the Huntkey is good enough for most of the mid range gaming rig (not high end); everyone also know BMW and Benz is a good car, but not everyone need to buy it, we still got a cheaper good car out there like Toyota and Honda to select. . .

no, my point is spend more on PSU, as i said earlier, you have a good processor, good motherboard, good video card, overclock some more, but when comes into PSU... RM200 or even lower... i mean, come on...

take mine for example, i only use Pentium Dual Core E2180, 2 x SATA HDD, but the PSU... 750W RED one...

not comparing with same price range with the Huntkey...

This is not balance at all, it is like a 1.5L car having 20" rims. . . why buy a 750W PSU when ur system only need 250W? no doubt an expensive PSU is good, but do we really need to spend so much on something extra that we didn't use it?
