We tested the Antec HCP 1200W a while back, and now Antec is following up with their 750W model, which should be equally efficient (80 Plus Gold Certification). In this article we will see if the quality of this power supply can match the flawlessness of the higher rated HCP. The HCP-750 is a little different internally compared to the 1200W model. However, all of the HCP models are targeted at the high-end market, so our expectations are quite high for this product. Read on to find out how it compares to other offerings.

3rd June, Taipei. Many editors travelled to Taiwan to see new products at Computex. A stressful week comes to an end. This is a perfect time for sightseeing -- or to visit a manufacturer's headquarters. We met FSP to take a look at their newest PSUs: The Aurum CM series.

Some months ago we tested the new "Fanless" series from Seasonic. Today we will take a look at a semi-passively-cooled version with the same design and more power. The Seasonic X-560 ends up as the direct competitor of the Enermax Modu87+ 500W, as well as FSPs Aurum alternative (without modular cables). We purchased this particular PSU from a retailer, so we'll be able to see if they use the same capacitors as in their review samples, and if Seasonic is able to reach the promised 80 Plus Gold efficiency. We'll also look at the sound pressure level at various loads.

Anyone who has shopped for a power supply lately has likely come to the conclusion that 80 Plus Gold certification is only for expensive PSUs rated at more than 500W. While that is true in the broad sense, there are a few exceptions. SuperFlower for instance has a 350W 80 Plus Gold unit, and FSP Group even has a 250W model. Today, we have an interesting alternative from HuntKey rated at 300W. While the name may not be as familiar to most of our America audience, HuntKey is one of the five largest PSU ODMs in the world, with offices in Europe and Asia. They also have customers like Dell and Lenovo.

With a goal of creating a low-cost, high-efficiency PSU that doesn't sacrifice quality, we may start to hear more about HuntKey. Today we're looking at their Jumper 300W power supply. Read on to find out why HuntKey is more than just a purveyor of cheap products in China.

Christmas time is coming and perhaps you want to give your significant other a new PSU. "Hey honey, check out this awesome new power supply I got you so you can... um...." Anyway, we gathered up several high-end power supplies from manufacturers all over the world, and we're here to see which one comes out on top. When you're looking at 1kW and larger power supplies, determining the "best" product isn't easy, as the manufacturers have different opinions on what is important. Some will go for pure efficiency, others for lower noise, or better cooling, etc. You'll have to decide which features are the most important, but let's look at this quintet and see if any can clearly rise above the rest.

With sales of around 150,000 PSUs each month, Corsair is one of the largest vendors for retail power supplies. They have a lot of experience even if they don't have their own factory. A few weeks ago Corsair presented their latest addition to their power supply lineup, the AX series. The AX brand has the goal of delivering performance, quality, and high efficiency; simply put, it's the best solution Corsair can provide at the moment. Today we take a look at the AX750 and find out if the 80Plus Gold certificate is justified, and just how good Corsair's "best" happens to be. An article by Martin Kaffei.
