Xclio or hiper ????? - Overclock.net

labeldave · 10-24-08

well, I am searching for a new power supply for my rig. I think my rosewill isn't cutting it any more. I think I've narrowed it down to two,the hiper type m 880w or xclio greatpower 850w. Any input on these two would be great or recommend something different in the $140 price range. I'm up in the air on which one. You guys decide.......

Gosh no... I wouldn't use either.

Are you located in the US?

Y I would take your current power supply over either of those.

I wouldn't use either as well.

I would opt for a Corsair, OCZ, PCP&C, or Antec.

I don't mind recommendations, but show me some form of article or proof. Of something better in the price range.

For the price, there are better PSU with better warranties, reputations, and support.

Hiper type m 880w

The Hiper Type-M 880w is a good power supply that seems to have been hit with an unfortunate glitch that keeps the unit from being the top competitor it could be. With the unit’s great load regulation, efficiency, and noise profile we very much wanted to see this unit succeed as it seemingly could have done everything an enthusiast would want, but unfortunately the DC Output Quality of the unit along with the concerns about cooling hold this unit back from greatness. As it stands the current units that are on the market are affected by this unfortunate issue that shows up in our testing at loads greater than ~80% but Hiper is working to rectify this issue as we speak and will hopefully have a revised unit available soon, as this product would otherwise be a very good option for users looking at 800w+ power supplies. And certainly, if you are going to be using your PSU to saddle over a 700 watt load, you are going to want to make sure you are getting clean power.

All in all I would have to say that the Hiper Type-M 880W is a good power supply that needs a bit of work in a few areas. If you are in the market for a higher-end power supply, this product warrants a look since it displayed good voltage regulation and efficiency at all of the loads I put it under. I also happen to like the layout of the Molex connectors even though I find that two single cables would have been much better than three. Even the overall design of the unit itself is unique and in my eyes it looks damn good if you install it into a black case. It just blends in with its surroundings which I find is a must for any power supply.

I mentioned that there were some areas which needed improvement and those areas conspire to bring this power supply’s rating down in my eyes. First of all is its slightly worrying performance in the +12 ripple tests where I saw spikes in the Type-M’s traces during the higher-load tests. To me these results show a platform which has been pushed to near its limit but once again, only further testing from other sources will be able to confirm this. Yet in the scope of this review, Hiper’s 880W did quite well. There is also the slightly minor issue of it having a longer housing but there should not really any worries of it getting in your way.

Ok, so as of right now the hiper is out, I kept leaning more towards xclio anyways. The s75qb looks interesting, but I would like modular. I think xclio might need a chance.

If you want, give it a chance. But I wouldn't put it even 2ft next to my rig......get a name brand PSU. You get better customer service in the event of a RMA, and you generally get a much better warranty.
