Icez84 Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Guys, I have no idea why u guys wanna buy 1 of those Craps but my pieces of advice is.... DONT!!! I brought it under the influence of the some lame website forum(i suspect they are getting commission from the local community that sell it) and the "HOTTEST"(Hottest my singaporean Arse) selling item.. Ok ok, i was green, very green then, other than the very sleek looks of the PSU, its came with a nice purplish with black toolbox to contain the psu. Firstly, i have trouble with the length of the module cable they came with, secondly i had so much trouble with it i had to bring it down a shop to check wat is wrong, only to find out the module cable came with it was faulty!! NOT ONE BUT TWO!!! GODDAMN IT(its my first build...) waste my 50 sing dollar = 31.25USD just to find out its the cable... NVM... i went home, after another day, i fix everything up and tidy up all the cable to maximize airflow and the minimise the water resistance on my miserly small water cooler, i cant even run my system without crashing esp. in gameplay!!! GOSH!! I tried, i post here, read forum but god forbid it i waste another 4 days trying to figure out wat wrong, i went back to a comp shop again.... to find.... out..... my...... PSU CANT PRODUCED A STEADY JUICE AND IT AINT TRUE POWER!!! THEY SHOW IT TO ME.... GOSH NOW I"M SooOOOoooOO DAMN PISSED!!!! I tried to sell it and now no one wanna buy it!!! SO MUCH FOR a HOTTEST SELLER.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimTjik Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Icez84@ You are one "so damn pissed" fellow and I feel sorry for you... ... however your rant is kind of useless. Why? Because no manufacturer is perfect and it might take some time for a new company to get their production in order. Do I have any experience concerning Hiper, or am I simply talking nonsense? Actually I have had a Type-R unit which had a faulty cable and that led to a nicely fried optical device. Was I mad? Hell yes, but I got excellent support from Hiper: I got a brand new optical device of my choice, and a new PSU. Stability? Hm, that's the most strange part of your story. Either your talking about one of the very first Type-R units to hit the market, which did have some problems but it was later corrected, or your reseller has some non-reliable providers, selling units which have not passed quality controls. Anyhow you'll find a whole lot of users on this forum who have had good experience in using Hiper Type-R 580W, and stability hasn't been an issue, even though most prefer non-modular PSU:s. You have the right to feel "pissed", but don't let it go out of proportions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Hiper type-R 580w PSUs are decent in my opinion. They are fine for single Video card set-ups. I don't even game all that much and my cards are low level for SLI. My Hiper unit poured out hot air all the time and I am sure it would have failed sooner than later. It's a tough unit but not meant for higher ended systems. Happy_Games, have you had time to test these units yourself as previously stated?( Assuming you are not spending all your time playing with Intel.)

K2Grey Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Icez84: I realize that it's natural to believe that one's personal experiences take precedence over everyone else's experiences, but this is not always the case. Your problems with your PSU indicate that your particular PSU has problems, but a sample case of 1 is not sufficient to determine that a PSU is intrinsically flawed. For example, I brought 2x sticks of shiny OCZ Performance DDR400 RAM, and it had errors in Memtest and had to be sent back, but you haven't seen me start posting about how OCZ is crap and overrated and people should all buy GSkill instead.

davidhammock200 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 The Hiper Type R's are "ok" PSU's, good enough but not great. They were added to the recommended list for our UK/EU members because of their availability & price. These are recommended only for single GPU, as the max combined is only +12V@30A. Anyone in North America can do much better for the same or less money. Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icez84 Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 Hiper is like wat u guys say fair and "cheap"($131.25USD wouldnt be wat i called cheap). Anyway, i tried something slightly less flashy and its cost me $112.5USD and 'truepower' 700watt aopen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that you are pulling over 300W's, so I'm sure this 580W PSU is doing well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
