[OCaholic] Xigmatek NRP-HC1001 power supply

Within the last years Xigmatek was able to establish in the cooling market. Since one year they've also been trying in the power supply market and with the NRP-HC1001 they present a multirail PSU with more than 1000 watts. Xigmatek also claims to hit an efficiency of 87 percent and a MTBF of 120'000 hours. |

I'm sure the quality of this will make you think otherwise. Thermaltake sucks.

This "review" isn't enough to determine the quality of the Xigmatek. And actually, this Xigmatek and the 1000W Thermaltake Toughpower are both built based on the same PUC platform built by they same company, Channel Well. I doubt you will find much difference between the two.

don't much like the finish on it.

There's nothing bad about any of their PSUs on the market today. They are based on popular CWT models like the DSA, PSH and PUC that many companies including Corsair use. The only problem with the Xigmateks is that they cut costs a little to fit a lower price bracket and thus don't perform as well as other products based on the same design. They certainly aren't bad or dangerous, just a little cheaper built but then they also tend to sell for a little cheaper.

that's kindof how I've always felt about it too. maybe I'm wrong tho.
sometimes you can find a gem of a performer among the cheap products, but if you build your whole rig out of cheap products, well then...

Lawl, that was a nice joke. You had to have been using sarcasm since this power supply isn't very good compared to mine

| Cosmetically this unit shares many features with the Thermaltake Toughpower 1200w resulting in the same almost faux military color scheme as that. Like other CWT designs the cables are well sleeved and constructed with the exception of the not sleeving them all the way up to the housing. The internal build quality of the Xigmatek NRP-HC1001 is also identical to the other CWT PUC power supplies that use the strictly reference design (like the Toughpower 1200w).......To date we have seen a few CWT PUC based power supplies (Thermaltake Toughpower 1200w, Corsair HX1000W, and Koolance 1300w) and generally those units have shown very good voltage regulation overall and the Xigmatek was looking to carry on in that tradition but its results were certainly not uniformly excellent......However, while the majority of this potential was realized as the unit had good efficiency, and was quiet, this was easily the worst performing example of a CWT PUC unit we have seen to date with its less than stellar voltage regulation. |

You'll be hard pressed to find a PSU manufacturer outside of mainland China or the ROC (there are a few, but all of the major players are in China or Taiwan).

Sure their WC kits are junk but it's not like they make them or their PSUs. They contract it out to OEMs. I'm sure they do this for every product they sell. Most of Tt's PSUs are at least decent. There are a few junk ones that see a lot of action like the 430W unit, but that doesn't make them all bad.

Is Silverstone still using Japanese robots?

Hmm. Impervio is based in Taiwan, but they use the IS Quasar facility to manufacturer them. Is that in Japan? I'm not sure. Ok, nearly all are from China and Taiwan
