This review is part of the group test:
Head2Head: Power Supplies
The most blinged out box in tha 'hood.
Huntkey is a relative newcomer to the high end PSU game. It has been doing power supplies for corporate boxes for some time, and its OEM designs are often rebadged by other companies as middle and lower end PSUs.
This is the highest wattage PSU Huntkey makes, but it’s the lowest wattage PSU in this head to head. At a sticker rating of 150 watts less than the next competitor, it’s a little unfair to lump it in with the other supplies on show here. But the 850W Enermax managed, so we’re going to see what it can do.
It could only power a single GPU and nine hard drives. It could support 15 drives if you staggered the startup times, but that's not something you want to do every time you turn on your computer, so our results were taken with nine drives in action.
It tries admirably, but it doesn’t deliver (Zing!). But it is cheap. Unlike Sarah Palin’s wardrobe. If you need something appropriate for a less demanding situation, it’s a good choice.
It may well be the shiniest, most chrome-laden of the bunch, but it isn’t modular and has only a single 8cm fan, which makes it more like a yum cha PSU on steroids. Or crack. Or 20in spinning rims.
Your choice.
