HiPer M power supply. Overview and Hiper Type M600 tests: middle class power supply. V - control and low noise at an affordable price
Among the power supplies sold in the retail it is very difficult to meet products in the original and comfortable packaging, which may later serve as its owner and again. For example, to store any trifles. At best, some manufacturers are ready to offer a completely comfortable cardboard box with a handle, decorated in the fantasy and taste of their employees, which, of course, will be disposable. In the case of the acquisition of high power power supplies, the mass and dimensions of which are already quite tangible even for relatively healthy middle-aged men, the cardboard box is not a comfortable packaging, especially if it is not equipped with a carrying handle. Perhaps the most successful solution for such tremendous components is a rigid plastic box with rounded corners, handle and latches. Surprisingly, but a few years after the issue of Hiper, the first models of the Type R series (it is in such a package), it did not have followers and imitators.
But the work of the creators of packaging from cardboard does not know the boundaries: what the boxes did not have to see. But most of them are not too convenient, especially when it comes to power blocks high powerIn addition to the noticeable mass and dimensions of the device itself, they usually have a large number of complete wires that also occupy a lot of space in the package.
Of course, the packaging is the last thing you need to look at when buying a BP, but I really want a high-quality content to have a high-quality shell.
As for the hero of today's material, this is a representative of the older K company HiPER. The model K700, K800 and K1000 is also available in this series. With the younger model from this list, we have already met on the pages of our resource.
The power supply is supplied in the package intended for the retail and is a plastic box with a folding lid. Packaging is equipped with a carrying handle. Spontaneous opening of the castle are impossible. That is, the manufacturer has worked very well.
Maybe, appearance The BP itself will seem stylish, but in our opinion, he is rather a breather. The combination of the matte black case and a mirror silver fan could make a positive impression at the end of the nineties of the last century, when almost all power supplies were the same gray color - but in 2012 such a design seems somewhat not quite adequate. But that's not all. The fan has an integrated unconnected backlight - of course, blue. The backlight is bright and will illuminate the housing from the inside almost completely.
Characteristics
All the necessary parameters are indicated on the power supply housing in full. For the power of the bus + 12VDC declared the value of 732 W. This value is between the corresponding values \u200b\u200bof the standard power supplies with a capacity of 750 and 800 W, the power ratio over the tire + 12VDC and the total power according to the main power channels is 0.83, which is a low indicator for modern solutions of such power.

This unit of the power supply uses the so-called modular wire connection system with connectors for power components inside system Block. This design allows you to remove unused wiring harnesses, freeing more places and giving a more accurate type of the intenshes of the system unit.
The number of connectors and their placement on the wiring harnesses if it is not optimal, then in any case, it is close to that today for the power supply of this power. Of course, it would be somewhat better if the SATA Power connectors were distributed over the three harness (4 + 2 + 2), but this is not as critical factor in order to give it great importance.
The length of the wires in this power supply is average. It will be quite enough to use in the MINITOWER, MIDITOWER and FULLTOWER and FULLTOWOWER sizes with the upper BP, as well as in the compact sizes of the MiditoWer size height in the range of 40 cm with the lower location of the power supply. In more overall housings with the lower arrangement of the power supply, it is possible to be an insufficient length of the wires to the processor power connector.
Cooling system
The main semiconductor elements are installed on three radiators with a base thickness of about 4 mm with developed fins, which strongly overlaps the elements located nearby - increasing the streaming resistance to the flow from the fan.
Under the wire grid, a fan FJ1352512SH is installed with a three-wire connection of FUJIAN, which has a three-wire connection: via a two-contact connector to the main board and a separate wire - to power the blue backlight.
Testing the power supply
The first stage of testing is the operation of the power supply at maximum power for 20 minutes. Such a test with confidence allows you to make sure the performance of BP. In this case, there were no special problems. On the channel + 3,3VDC there are significant deviations from the nominal, on the channel + 5VDC deviations are relatively small. On the channel + 12VDC deviations from the nominal minimum.
The next stage of instrumental testing is construction of cross-loading characteristics (KNH) And the presentation of it on a quarter-terms limited to the maximum power over the tire of 3.3 & 5 V on one side (along the ordinate axis) and the maximum power over the bus 12 V on the other side - along the abscissa axis. At each point, the measured voltage value is indicated by the color marker depending on the deviation from the nominal value.
| Size designation deviations of output voltages from nominal | ||
| Color | Range of deviation | Quality assessment |
| more than five percent | unsatisfactory | |
|---|---|---|
| up to +5 percent | badly | |
| up to +4 percent | satisfactorily | |
| up to +3 percent | oK | |
| up to +2 percent | very good | |
| 1 percent and less | excellent | |
| up to -2 percent | very good | |
| up to -3 percent | oK | |
| up to -4 percent | satisfactorily | |
| up to -5 percent | badly | |
| more than five percent | unsatisfactory | |
It is worth explaining that if there are deviations within three percent, the power supply parameters can be considered at a good level.
This model has no deviations over five percent in the entire tested power range. Almost all over the range, the measured voltage values \u200b\u200bwere determined by two percent with the exception of the section on low- middle power For the channel + 3,3VDC - there is deviations within four percent, which can be considered a satisfactory indicator.
With a typical power distribution over the channels, the output parameters of the power supply are at a good level.
The next stage of testing is measure full powersupplied to the power supply active power consumed to them and in calculation of the efficiency and power coefficient.
According to our measurements, the efficiency of this BP reaches the value over 85 percent in the power range from 300 watts. The maximum value of about 88 percent was recorded at 500 W output. At the same time, the efficiency at low power amounted to about 63 percent. The scattered power graph is a sufficiently smooth line without sharp bends - however, after a point of 800 watts, it increases slightly, which indicates an increase in the incremental value of the power dissipation.
From the point of view of conversion efficiency, the most optimal range of operation of this model is from 100 to 800 W.
Measuring noise level
In this material, we continue to use a new method for measuring the noise level of power supplies, which is still experimental status. The power supply is located on a flat surface with a fan up, above it is 0.35 meters, a meter microphone Oktava 110A-Eco is located, which is measured by noise level. The load of the power supply is carried out using a special stand having a silent operation mode. During the measurement of the noise level, the power supply unit at a constant power is operated for 20 minutes, after which the noise level is measured.
A similar distance to the measurement object is the most close to the desktop location of the system unit with a power supply installed. This method allows you to estimate the noise level of the power supply in harsh conditions in terms of small distance From the noise source to the user. With an increase in the distance to the noise source and the appearance of additional obstacles that have a good sound refrigerant ability, the noise level at the control point will also decrease that lead to an improvement in acoustic ergonomics as a whole.
When operating at low power, noise from the power supply is located on the middle-performance level for residential premises during the daytime.
When working on medium power in the range of 200-350 W, noise is at a level above average when locating in the near field; With a more significant removal and placement under the table in the case with the lower position of the BP, such noise can be interpreted as an average level. During the daytime in the residential premises a source with a similar level of noise will be completely noticeable, but it is easy enough to transfer, especially at a meter distance and more, and in the office space it will not be too noticeable, since the background noise in offices is usually higher than in residential Premises. At night, the source with such noise level will be good noticeable, sleeping near will be difficult.
On the power of 500 W, the noise of the power supply is approaching 50 dBA mark, and with a load of 750 W - exceeds it. Noise at such power can be described as high enough. To be in the near field from such a source of noise, there is still uncomfortable even in the office conditions. With a more significant removal, the source will also pay attention to itself, but it will be to a lesser extent.
When measuring the noise level at a small distance in three modes of operation, we were convinced of the absence of extraneous ghosts (pisculation, whistle, etc.); Electronics of this model of BP works very quiet.
Assessment of consumer qualities
Decent electrical characteristics and not too developed acoustic ergonomics are usually present in the Gamer's power blocks of the average price category. At the same time, such power supplies are required long wires for trouble-free placement in the overall housings with the lower arrangement of BP, while this model has a very small length.
Exterior design is very specific. But perhaps someone, such an entourage will have to be placed.
This model has the name 900 in the title, which, in our opinion, implies the corresponding output power Basic power channels: + 3,3VDC, + 5VDC, + 12VDC. The manufacturer has a slightly different position: the power of the main channels is 879 W, while the power of the + 12VDC tire is only 732 W. Such power is typical for modern models of leading manufacturers with a capacity of 750 W. So, during the operation of this BP in the real system, in any case, there will be a certain supply in total power, which will be almost impossible to use. Does such a stock need? Everyone can solve independently.
RESULTS
Of the advantages of the model, it is worth noting good electrical characteristics and excellent packaging. At the same time, there is a relatively low load capacity over a bus + 12VDC for a power supply unit with a power of 900 watts. The remaining parameters are at the average level. There are also complaints to acoustic ergonomics.
HiPer K900 power supply is provided for testing by the manufacturer
Introduction
Two or three years ago, few people wondered about the power of the power supply of the home computer. Power supplies were supplied with the enclosures and were considered something so low-level, as you could not even think about. But a sharp increase in the power consumption of the central intel processors and AMD, as well as nVIDIA video cards And ATI forced users of modern computers to think about choosing a worthy source of nutrition for their e-pet. As it usually happens, an excitement has appeared on the dietary blocks market, users wanted to get powerful and reliable BPs that would withstand new, unprecedented loads. Until recently, it was almost impossible to buy high-quality BP, now it's quite difficult to do it. After all, few people know that unscrupulous Russian distributors sometimes simply changed 250-watt BP labeling, giving them for 350-watt. Do I need to say that these cheap power sources fused when loading, not even exceed 200 W?
As soon as users began to think about choosing a power supply, so immediately these devices from the "MUST HAVE" category moved to the products section that are subject to choice and sale in stores. So, such a product must be packed accordingly, equipped with instructions and certified. Few of modern manufacturers of BP in the Russian market shows such care about the user. But as it should be according to the laws of the genre, the Messiah appears in the era of such chaos. We will consider one of these representatives today - few people who are well-known HiPER (High Performance PC Ltd), which produces power blocks aimed at the consumer market. That is, on those users who purposefully come to the store behind the power supply.

As can be seen, a pair of power supplies according to characteristics are similar to each other. The semi-cylinder unit has more PCplug connectors and is cooled with three fans. A weaker block is cooled by two fans. Power supplies do not burn out when the voltage is fed without a connected load or when the load is below the minimum.
Both blocks have passive power factor compensation. Today, no one will not surprise anyone: old power supplies without PFC had a power coefficient equal to 0.70, passive compensation can increase it to about 0.80, and active - up to 0.99, but so far its installation leads to the rise in the cost of blocks. In general, what is PFC? The power utilization factor characterizes the efficiency of electricity consumption. The higher the coefficient, the more effectively the electricity is consumed. That is, roughly speaking, if the electronics of the computer consumes 200 W, the power supply will consume slightly more power, about 270 W due to reactive power in the inductive elements of BP. So, with a power factor of 0.7, you will pay for electricity by 30% more. The easiest way to increase the power utilization factor is the inclusion in the distribution system of electrical capacitors performing the function of the sources of reactive power. Being a source of reactive current, they reduce the load on electric network. The requirement to use PFC exists in most European countries, which is determined by the prevalence of power supplies with PFC. By the way, due to compensation of reactive power, it is possible not only to reduce your electricity costs, reduce the reactive load, but also to save on the power supply conductor. Simply put, with the same design, get a more powerful BP. Let's look at the stated performance characteristics.

Well, let's look at the power blocks themselves outside.
The housing of the power units are made from Japanese steel alloys (at least it is said in the instructions), so they weigh less their analogues (yes, really relatively light). Externally, power supplies with a capacity of 425 and 525 W is simply distinguished by the number of installed fans. On 525-watt it is set to three (see photo at the top), and on 425-watt - two (see photo below).
Naturally, to cool a more powerful power supply unit, the installation of an additional fan was required. All fans are installed in power blocks so that they take warm air in the computer housing and discarded it out. Looking at such fans, it may seem that they will work very loud. However, Hiper positions them as quiet power supplies and not in vain.
Between the power outlet and the BP switch, a fan speed switch is installed. It has four working positions: automatic speed, minimum, average and maximum. In automatic mode, the velocity of the fans is regulated by a digital circuit depending on the temperature inside the BP. This is the recommended installation by the manufacturer. But nothing prevents you from changing the speed of BP. During tests, we noticed that over time, after 15 minutes after turning on the computer, the temperature inside the power supply rises and the fans begin to buzz very loudly. Therefore, I had to put the minimum speed manually, as I resembled a bright blue LED, illuminating the wall at the computer. In the 525-watt model, you can connect a 3-pin Molex connector to the motherboard for monitoring the speed of rotation of the third fan blades.
All cables in both power blocks are assembled into harnesses, so as not to organize a bardak from the wires in the computer and do not interfere with the efficient cooling of PC components.
HiPER power supplies have a built-in network filter to protect against high-frequency interference at the input itself. On the outlet from the inside of the body, a container is installed through which high-frequency interference does not pass.

For testing, we used the computer with the configuration specified in the table. This is quite powerful in terms of power consumption of a computer, although, of course, you will not load the power supply under the bandage.
Testing was carried out in two stages. In the first stage loaded operating system Windows XP, the Motherboard Monitor program was launched, and the computer was idle without action (in the so-called idle mode) 30 minutes until the stable temperature is established, after which the indicators of medium, maximum and minimum stresses across all channels were removed. In the second stage, the Burn-in test program module was loaded under Windows XP Sisoft Sandra. SP2, who drove all the tests 60 times in a row. After that, the demo mode of the 3DMark03 program was launched for 30 minutes. Subsequently, stress testimony was also shot. Fan speed switches on power supplies were installed in automatic mode. Test results in front of you.

Hiper power supplies are likely to take the empty Retail Power Blocks in the Russian market. Russification of user manual, high-quality assembly, gold-plated contacts and the presence of feed connections for Serial ATA devices, are the advantages of these models. Of course, these blocks have a slightly higher price than the products of Chinese Codegen type manufacturers, but this is a completely different level. Who knows, perhaps our domestic users will force the manufacturers of BP to pay attention to the level of noise, power and, undoubtedly, the quality of their products. In the meantime, a very favorable situation for such a Messiah type HIPER.
The disadvantages of BP Hiper can be attributed only to some high prices, unusual for our compatriots who want to get high-quality power supplies at a price below $ 50

5/10.2004
Since the blocks of this manufacturer have a fairly attractive price and power ratio, and the model range recently replenished with a new series of "V" blocks ("Victory"), we decided to test almost all now available on sale BP under the Hiper brand - and, it should be noted, we were waiting Many surprises.
Since data for one material turned out to be too many, we decided to break the overview for two parts: two series of blocks in each. In the first part, we will publish the test results of the tests of the S and M blocks for sufficiently produced blocks (we note that the M-series has recently replenished with a capacity of 800 and 900 W on the updated platform).
A little later, the test results of the blocks of the V and K series will be published.
Testing technique
Description of the testing methodology used by us by the equipment, as well as a brief explanation, which means in practice those or other passports or the parameters of the power supplies that measure us can be found from the following link: "Methods for testing power supplies". If you feel that it is not enough good to focus in numbers and terms, which is replete with an article - please read the relevant sections of the specified description, we hope it will clarify many questions.You can get acquainted with the full list of models visited our laboratory by reference. "Catalog of tested power supplies".
In the charts of cross-loading characteristics of the blocks, we will mark with crosses the real maximum power consumption of the three most powerful configurations. gaming computersWe tested in the material "Computer power consumption: So how much will Watt need?", allowing you to assess how or sufficient each power supply is needed for sufficiently typical modern computers.
HIPER TYPE S450 and S500
Serie S is the most accessible HiPER power supplies, first oriented on collectors of finished primary and mid-level systems. Unlike representatives of the senior series, these blocks are supplied in OEM packaging without fasteners, a network cord and instructions in the kit - only the power supply itself in the sachet.The range of power blocks of this series is very modest - from 400 to 500 W. You did not get the younable model for the test, so the tests were limited to a pair of senior models of the stated capacity of 450 and 500 W.
Appearance
Although both blocks belong to one series and only slightly differ in power, the external differences between them are very noticeable.
It can be noted that the body of the block S450 has cutouts in the area of \u200b\u200bfastening the cover of the block and six vertical ventilation holes from the loop output.
The cap of the S500 model is fixed by a solid strip of metal, the ventilation holes from the loop output of only four, and also at first glance, it is noticeable that the fan model is also different (fans, devoid of illumination in both models, unlike blocks of more expensive series).
The fact of the fact that, judging by the photo on the manufacturer's website, all blocks of the S series have the same building structure - but at the same time distinguished from both blocks considered today.
The metal of the housing of both blocks is very thin - without traditional for budget models, there was no economy. However, all the loops are removed into a nylon braid, which is a rarity for representatives of this price category.
On the side of the back wall, the differences are not noticeable: both blocks have a traditional cellular ventilation grid, the "Full Range" sticker, which is unequivocally hinting for the presence of an active PFC, and the power off button.
Circuitry
The internal device of the blocks of this series is different from those models of the S series, which appeared on the market a little over a year ago, although the passport parameters and the set of loops and connectors fully correspond to the former models performed on the Andyson platform.
A number of characteristic elements of the internal device allowed us to find the true manufacturer of the current Blocks of the HiPER series S: This is Solytech. On the platforms of this manufacturer are manufactured, in particular, PowerColor power supplies and a number of models of other manufacturers not presented in the domestic market.
The design of both blocks "under the lid", in contrast to their buildings, is almost absolutely identical.
In general, we have no noticeable design with group stabilization and the active correction of the power factor in the current times.
Near the network cable connector, you can see the input filter with a smoothing choke and fuse be placed on a separate board.
The PWM controller and the main stabilizer are implemented by the Champion Micro CM6800G chip - a fairly widespread solution in blocks of many manufacturers.
The monitoring of voltages and protection corresponds to the Silicon Touch PS223 microcircuit - also a completely common option among many manufacturers of BP.
All electrolytic capacitors applied in the block are not familiar to us. chinese company YC (Yang-Chun).
The eye rushes only a characteristic, but unknown to us, emblem, while text Designation There is no manufacturer on capacitors. The search for the manufacturer of capacitors turned out to be difficult and ended well only by pure chance.
Reviews about these capacitors lie in the range from "Of course, not Rubycon, but in general, decently" before "swept after a very short period of operation." In general, it is not impressive, but it is quite expected from the manufacturer, who has to be wanted by long hours.
Loops and connectors
The HIPER S450 unit is equipped with the following loops and connectors:
power loop motherboard with a 20 + 4-pin connector, 49 cm long;
power loop of a processor with a 4-pin connector, 50 cm long;
loop with two SATA-hard drives and PATA-hard drive power connector, 55 + 15 + 15 cm power connector;
the cable with the SATA-hard drive power connector, two PATA-hard drive connectors and a drive power connector, 48 + 15 + 15 + 15 cm long;
The S500 cable system differs only by the presence of a loop with a 6-pin video card power connector with a length of 50 cm.
All wires are removed into the nylon braid, which is not too typical for power supplies such a modest price level.
In the assortment of connectors, you can find fault with the absence of a video card power connector (at the S450 model), only a 4-pin CPU power connector and a relatively small number of SATA connectors (separated, however, on two loops, which will allow you to connect without any problems. optical drive And a pair of hard drives, which is usually enough for low-cost systems, on the use in which data blocks are calculated).
Passport parameters
The stated block characteristics are not too impressive: 18.5 watts from the maximum power declared in the title of maximum power are assigned to the auxiliary stresses: -12 B and duty power +5 V. But even on this background the power of the most sought-after line +12 in a very modest At both blocks.
Peak load for blocks S450 and S500 is declared at the level, respectively, 500 and 550 W - i.e. 50 W above the total long-term power of the block.
Certification 80 Plus blocks of this series do not have.
Work paired with UPS
In a pair with UPS, APC Smartups SC 620, both blocks worked with a load of up to 370-380 W from the network, but the transition to batteries to any of them could not be carried out even with a load of 280 W.
The picture shown by the S450 unit is quite typical for blocks with a group stabilization of stresses, except for strongly and quickly searched with an increase in voltage load +5 V.
Due to the rapid drop in this voltage with increasing load, the total power of the lines +5 V and +3.3 V, at which the deviations are stacked into the 5% permissible standard, does not exceed 90 W - i.e. Almost half the level declared by the manufacturer.
However, taking into account the typical energy consumption modern SystemsEven this level with a good margin is enough for any configuration that this block is capable of pulling.
The S500 block showed similar results. Differences by and large brought to greater powerwhich "pulled out" voltages +5 V and +3.3 V (although the passport 150 W still remained an unattainable dream) and higher deviations along the +12 line at moderate loads.
Note that both blocks demonstrated unsure operation at zero loads on any voltages.
The nature of the pulsations of the output voltage turned out to be similar to both tested blocks.
At high frequency there is a relatively small ripples (with the exception of the voltage of +12 V), but with periodic narrow splashes on all stresses, far out beyond the framework allowed by the standard deviations.
A very close picture is observed on the double frequency of the power supply: pulsations are most pronounced on the +12 V line, and the narrow voltage bursts periodically go beyond the framed.
It is unlikely that there are such narrow, but high, splashes may affect the ability of the block to provide power to the system, but it is impossible to exclude the appearance, for example, unnecessary tips in the audio code for this reason.
Temperature and noity
As already noted with an external inspection, the blocks are cooled by various fans.
Cooling block S450 Heads semi-blade 120 mm Shenzhen Xin Wang Xin Electronics production fan. The passport parameters of the applied fan (the XWX1225M12S index) could not be found.
A significant part of the impeller is closed with a transparent screen to optimize airflows.
The linear increase in revolutions begins almost immediately after the start, and the maximum turnover (just below 1600 rpm) are achieved on the approach to the power mark of 400 W.
The starting turnover of the fan is small and amount to 850 rpm, but due to the increase in the speed of rotation immediately after the start, the boundary of the conditional comfort in 1000 rpm intersects before reaching the power of 150 W.
However, despite the "namelessness", the fan demonstrates rather quiet operation without mechanical pride and begins to irritate only at the speed of rotation more than 1200 rpm - i.e. Only with the load on the block more than 50% of the total power.
The cooled of the most powerful HiPer series S series is engaged in the manufacturer's friend's fan: Globe Fan (model S1202512M, passport speed 2400 rpm). Like the fan in the block on the step below, it has a diameter of 120 mm, seven blades and a solid area screen to optimize the air flow.
The speed chart at first glance looks "more correct" than that of the S450 model (a sufficiently long mode of constant revolutions and then a linear increase in the speed of rotation of the impeller), but the case spoils high initial speed - in order to hear a 12-cm fan rotating at a speed of 1200 rpm, it is not necessary to have a musical hearing.
The velocity of the fan begins to grow after reaching the load on the unit in 150 W and at full capacity comes to 2200 rpm.
As a result, the noise of the S450 unit can be estimated as an average, while a more powerful model is distinguished by frankly loud work.
Efficiency and power factor
The indicators of both blocks were expected to be close.
On typical facilities (20%, 50% and 100% block power), we recorded the following values \u200b\u200bof the efficiency of the HIPER S450 block: 80.8%, 82.7%, 80.3%. This meets the requirements for basic certification of 80 plus (which, recall, these blocks do not have). The peak efficiency of the unit was 83.6% at 246 W Power.
The efficiency of the S500 block under similar conditions was somewhat higher: by 20%, 50% and 100% of the power of the unit, it showed an efficiency of 82.3%, 84% and 81%. This result is already close to the requirements of 80 PLUS BRONZE (82%, 85%, 82%). Peak efficiency was 84.3% at a capacity of 304 W.
The value of the power factor under high load is between 98% and 99% - not bad, but not the perfect, result.
Duty source
The voltage schedule of the duty nutrition source is almost the same for both tested blocks:
"Djurka" fully copes with its tasks, and deviations do not reach 3% of the nominal.
RESULTS
Characteristics of the HIPER series S series are difficult to call outstanding, but there is also no dangerous crime in their work: there are no longer confused by the dubious quality of capacitors and bursts of ripples. However, at a cost in the area of \u200b\u200b$ 40 there is a little alternatives offering the active correction of the power factor and the braid of all cables.
HIPER TYPE M500, M600 and M700
We are already familiar block Hiper. M600 earlier release. But since then we managed to change at least the packaging and the color of the fan backlight - maybe there are more serious changes?
Now blocks M series are supplied in white cardboard boxes of moderate dimensions equipped with handles for carrying.
The models of this series have a "power pitch" between neighboring representatives of 50 W, but we only took blocks with "round" power values, multiple hundred watts - we think it is enough to assess the capabilities of the power sources of this line.
On the sidewalls boxes there are data on the passport parameters of the blocks and the connectors on them (on the one hand) and the main distinguishing features of the blocks (on the other side).
The package has become somewhat more modest in comparison with the blocks of early editions: now only one fixture kit is attached (rolls with a knurled and printed instruction on the cooled paper fell victim to savings). But it still remained a network cord and four reusable "Velcro".
Appearance
In comparison with the earlier issue already familiar to us, the difference in appearance is minimal.
The housing has changed slightly: the updated model appeared small submarines in the corners for a more dense fixation of the lid. In addition, the location of the RED lacks and the protective sticker has changed.
On the back side slightly decreased area of \u200b\u200bthe ventilation grille and the "Full Range" sticker was added.
But the most apparent and noticeable change in appearance is visible only when the block is running: the former red lights gave way to purple.
Circuitry
Unlike different outside, but the same inside, the blocks of the S series, externally blocks of the M series are indistinguishable, but the difference in filling between them is not easy to find.
It is easy to note that the youngest Hiper M500 is completely different on the internal device from the above-mentioned blocks of the S.
Accordingly, as for the blocks S blocks, the true manufacturer of the platform is Solytech, although all passport parameters are also taken from the "old" blocks andyson.
Very close to it on the device and the M600 unit - only the appearance of a miniature third radiator in the left lower part is also striking.
The M700 block is practically no different from the M600 - the location of all elements is similar.
The change of the platform turned out to be somewhat unexpected, but the general circuitry of the "new" blocks of the M series is similar to the functionality of the old: active correction of the factor of power and group stabilization of stresses.
Like the Blocks of the younger S series, the PWM controller is represented by the CM6800G microcircuit, and the supervisor is a PS223 microcircuit.
Capacitors, as in the S series blocks, are represented by YC products, which is not too encouraging.
Loops and connectors
All block blocks are equipped with the following loops and connectors:
pin power supply with 20 + 4-pin connector, 46 cm long;
cPU cable with 4 + 4-pin connector, 47 cm long;
circuit cable with two 6 + 2-pin connectors, 45 + 15 cm long;
a loop with two PATA-Winchester power connections and a drive power connector, 45 + 15 + 15 cm long;
two loops with two SATA-hard drive power connections and a PATA-hard drive power connector, 46 + 15 + 15 cm;
pin with two SATA-hard drive power connections, 46 + 15 cm long.
It can be noted that those indicated on the packaging of the length of the loops (50 cm on the cable and processor power loops and 40 cm to the first connector in the rest of the loops) in reality are practically equalized: they all have a length of 45-47 cm to the first connector. For the power cable of the processor of this length, it is clearly not enough for secretive connection with the passage of the cable under the site of the Matpal in the housings with the lower arrangement of BP.
The set of connectors can be called very decent, and the presence of connectors of different types The plumes turns out to be very convenient to use. It is possible to outrald on to the presence of only two connectors of the video card on the most powerful block: although its power along the line +12 V is not an outstanding, a pair of not the most voracious video cards with two power connectors on each in SLI or CrossFire bundle it is quite capable .
Passport parameters
The parameters of the blocks declared by the manufacturer are not too impressive due to the small permissible load on the most sought -led line +12 Q: None of the blocks it does not reach 80% of the total capacity (and even if from the claimed total capacity, throw out 18.5 watts, rigidly reserved under Auxiliary stresses).
As with the S series models, for all blocks of the series, a permissible peak load is declared, 50 W exceeding the power declared on the label.
Certificate 80 Plus does not have blocks, and the manufacturer promises only efficiency not lower than 75%.
Note that the stated characteristics of the blocks did not change in comparison with the power sources of the previous issues, despite the change of the manufacturer of the platform. It is difficult to say what caused such a solution to HiPER - after all, it is obvious that the full identity of the characteristics of representatives of different platforms and different manufacturers cannot be clearly in any way.
The suggestion that such a move is caused by the desire to preserve the continuity and prevention of confusion, does not fit: closing a little forward, we note that the Hiper blocks of the fresh series V are based on the previous Andyson platform. Accordingly, it would be most logical to continue to produce the previous series M without changes on the old platform (since it remained relevant to HiPER), and in a new series V, highlight blocks on the platform of another manufacturer with their true, and not "compatible", characteristics. However, after once again, I note that the principal difference between the data and Solytech and Solytech platforms during tests was not revealed - except that the first more confidently feel at zero loads, and the second more efficiently work A-PFC.
Work paired with UPS
In a pair with UPS, APC Smartups SC 620 blocks, as well as their COMPATIFORMES S series, worked with a load up to 370-385 W from the network, but the transition on batteries could not be carried out even with a load of 280 W.
Stability of output voltages
The cross-loading characteristics of the M500 block are practically no different from the parameters of the S500 block, with the exception of a slightly greater permissible load on the +3.3 V and +5 V lines before the transition of deviations abroad of five percent. Nothing amazing: one platform, the same power ...
The parameters of the 600-watt block are also not different, with the exception of greater demanding to the minimum load on the line +5 V: if the previously considered blocks operated when it was loaded on it in 1a, then the M600 models needed to set the minimum current 2a for reliable operation in all modes .
The minimum load in 2A along line is +5 in for stable operation - this is already not too decent, but the M700 unit demanded even more! At the same time, the allowable load on the voltages +5 V and +3.3 V was lower than that of the other blocks of the series (albeit with a sufficient reserve relative to the real load on these lines in modern systems).
As in the case of the HiPER S series blocks, the result can be called acceptable, but no more. The increased demands of the senior blocks to the load along the +5 in line can be safely entered into obvious disadvantages.
Pulsation output voltages
The nature of the pulsations of the blocks was similar to both each other and in comparison with the S. series models
Both in small and high frequency, the total volume of voltage ripples is stacked into the requirements of the standard, but numerous narrow voltage bursts go beyond the scope of permissible tolerances.
Temperature and noity
In all three blocks, cooling is provided by the same fans: nine-woofable 140 mm transparent Globe Fan production fans (RL4P S1402512HH model index, passport speed of 1800 rpm). As we have already mentioned, the fans of the power blocks of this series are equipped with purple backlight.
The M500 and M600 blocks turned out to be sufficiently quiet in the work: it is possible to find fault by the relatively high start turns of their fans approaching 1000 rpm. To achieve full power, the M600 block fan approached 1,500 rpm, and the M500 block turned out to be a little quieter.
The M700 block fan showed lower speeds into small, but higher high-load speeds (though, when approaching 1600 rpm, the growth of the impeller rotation speed slowed down), but it was not possible to bring the measurement to the end. After 12 minutes of operation at full power, the block was quietly disconnected, and it was re-refused forever and flatly. There was no visible damage inside the block.
In general, about half loads, the operation of the blocks does not cause explicit acoustic discomfort, and at full power the volume of the fans is lower than many analogues. However, fans of maximum silence will not recommend them - the initial velocity of the fans is high.
Efficiency and power factor
The indicators of the blocks were expected to be close.
On typical facilities (20%, 50% and 100% block power), we recorded the following values \u200b\u200bof the efficiency of the HiPer M500 block: 81.5%, 83.5%, 81.6%. This meets the requirements for basic certification 80 Plus (which the HIPER M blocks of the M series have). The peak efficiency of the block was 84% \u200b\u200bat the power of 260 W.
The efficiency of the M600 block in similar conditions was somewhat higher, with the exception of close to maximum loads: by 20%, 50% and 100% of the power of the unit, it shown the efficiency of 84.5%, 84.8% and 80.6%. Peak efficiency amounted to 85.3% at the power of 278 W.
The efficiency of the M700 block slightly lost the M600 model: by 20%, 50% and 100% of the power of the unit, it showed the efficiency of 83.7%, 84.4% and 79.1% - i.e. By efficiency on the full load, the block did not meet the requirements of the basic certification of 80 Plus (however, we will remind that it was not obliged - the manufacturer promised efficiency only above 75%). Peak efficiency amounted to 85.2% on a power segment from 282 to 322 W.
The value of the high load power factor is between 98% and 99% - similar blocks of the S series.
Duty source
The parameters of "diges" of all three blocks are expected equally not only in theory, but also in practice:
A duty nutrition without any problems performs its work, quite slightly deviating from the nominal.
RESULTS
By and large, the difference of these blocks with the S series models is minimal: the youngest model of the M series M - M500 is generally different from S500 only with a housing, a fan and a more advanced cable system with the same filling and electrical parameters. But the senior models begin to suffer with a nutritional shortage along line +5 V, and the most powerful one else has known, although we did not require anything higher than its passport characteristics during testing and even on the peak power producer, the test was not satisfied.
HIPER TYPE M800 and M900
Although these blocks belong to the M series, the three representatives of which were considered above, and the packaging with the package does not differ, it immediately became obvious that this pair of blocks should be considered separately.A couple of the oldest and newest (about them at the time of the preparation of the material there was no mention Even on the manufacturer's website) blocks of the M series clearly elbowed from another test. They are much harder than younger fellow. They are clearly different in design, which is noticeable from the first view through the transparent blades of the fan inside.
How principled these differences? Let's try to find out.
Appearance
Outwardly, the highlightest highlightest blocks of the M series M are no different from the methods of less power - except, of course, visible through the cut in the housing of the inner filling.
Circuitry
As in the case of the HIPER units previously reviewed in the review, their real manufacturer is not Andyson, familiar to the previous acquaintance with the HiPER blocks, and Solytech is already on another platform. A similar platform (only with a modular design) is made, for example, the PowerColor Extreme 850W power supply.
The internal models with a capacity of 800 and 900 W practically do not differ from each other.
It is worth noting that when studying an internal device, we failed to detect the third choke of the voltage stabilizer on magnetic amplifiers, neither more so DC-DC converters, which surprises on the background of the blocs demonstrated on this platform in the stability stability.
If such results managed to achieve with group stabilization - it remains only to remove the hat in front of the designers of this block.
The throttle of the active PFC, semi-shot M-shaped radiator, is impressive with its dimensions.
Some changes have undergone the composition of the governing chips:
The PHIM controller remained on the CM6800G chip, as well as on the blocks discussed above.
But the functions of the supervisor assumed a newer and perfect PS232S chip.
As can be seen in the photos, the blocks are used in the blocks, the same not inspired by the large trust capacitors of the YC, as well as the HiPER blocks discussed above.
Loops and connectors
Both of the most powerful HiPer M series are equipped with the same set of loops and connector:
power supply of motherboard with 20 + 4-pin connector, 52 cm long;
cPU power cable with 4 + 4-pin connector, 53 cm long;
two videos of the video card with two 6 + 2-pin connectors on each, 55 + 10 cm long;
train with four PATA-hard drive connections and a drive power connector, 51 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 cm;
two cables with four SATA-Winchester power connections on each, 50 + 15 + 15 + 15 cm;
The range of connectors available at the disposal of the HiPer M800 and M900 blocks is quite sufficient, but their location is difficult to call optimal. For example, if necessary, connect the optical drive will be difficult to use the three other SATA power connectors on the same plume.
In addition, as on the blocks discussed above, the length of the processor power loop is not enough.
Finally, at such a power, it would be possible to think about the third pair of the power connectors of the PCI-E video cards - the 3-way SLI configuration with not the voracious video cards such blocks, in principle, quite on the shoulder.
Passport parameters
It seems that the curse of acquaintances for us earlier the HiPER blocks - low power along the +12 line in a relatively general permissible load - remained in the past. A couple of the freshest blocks of the M series are ready to give all its power to the last watt on this tension.
True, it is worth noting that peak power also got dry to numbers applied on the label, and the voltage of +12 in is divided into five virtual lines with a very moderate load on each separately taken.
The view also attracts a very high declared power of the duty power source: up to 4 A loads against the usual 2.5-3 A.
As with the other blocks of the M series, certification certificate according to the 80 Plus standard on devices or packaging is not observed.
Work paired with UPS
Parabe with the UPS APC Smartups SC 620, the M800 unit worked with a load of up to 388 W from the network, but the transition to batteries managed to implement under load no higher than 295 W - in this regard the block to more new platform It has been profitable from the other considered models that are actually incompatible with the UPS.
However, confirm this success is the result of the M900 block: before this test, it, like the M700 model, departed to the world other after long-term operation at full power. However, the measurement results of most of its parameters were already obtained by that time.
Stability of output voltages
The stability pattern of the stress block M800 is simply pleasing to the eye: it is possible to find face only to the already familiar not perfect stability at zero loads. All voltages are placed in 3% of deviations from the nominal, and in the overwhelming range of loads, they do not exceed 2%.
Only a little worse showed itself a more powerful block: at high loads on all voltages of deviations along the +5 line in the "four-percent" zone.
Pulsation output voltages
This test, along with the work in a pair of the UPS, the M900 block was not passed due to failure, so it will be necessary to navigate only on the M800 model indicators.
The fundamental differences on the indicators of the blocks discussed above are not: the total ripples are stacked in the framework of the standard, but individual peaks go far beyond its limitations.
From the other nuances it can be noted that at high frequency the most pronounced pulsations along the voltage of +3.3 V, and on the double frequency of the power supply - pulsation on voltage +12 V.
Temperature and noity
The M800 and M900 blocks are cooled in exactly the same fan as the younger models of the M series, equipped with exactly the same purple backlight, so we will not be repeated in the descriptions.
Unfortunately, in terms of efficiency of turnover management, these blocks were generally even worse than their less powerful fellow travelers: even higher starting turns of fans, the growth of revolutions begins with minimal power, and the heating of the air passing through the air turns out much more significant.
Yes, at full power, these blocks are not louder than younger fellow, but to deliver clear discomfort begin with a slightly higher in the absolute value of the load. But without that fairly conditional silence in the system idle system they have no class.
We also note that the M900 has been explicitly composed with low loads. Perhaps this sound was a symptom of a production marriage, which led the block to a sad end when long work At full capacity: almost spending half an hour on the maximum load, the unit turned off forever. But it is just likely that a banal overheating (the difference in the temperature of the incoming and emerging air above 20 ° C is not a joke!). Third version: From the block, it was simply tried to pull out the power to which it is not designed (the printed circuit board of both blocks has a SL-850EPS marking, which suggests that the power of 900 W is already amateurness).
Later, when attempting to turn on the unit, the block responded only with a loud peak from the inside, and the current was given only duty nutrition.
Efficiency and power factor
On typical facilities (20%, 50% and 100% block power), we recorded the following values \u200b\u200bof the efficiency of the HiPER M800 block: 81.3%, 85.5%, 82.7%. Such effectiveness does not reach the "bronze" certification 80 plus only on the efficiency on the load of 20%. The peak efficiency of the block reached 85.6% at the power meters of 332 W and 413 W.
The M900 block under the same conditions (20%, 50% and 100% of the block power) showed the following values \u200b\u200bof the efficiency: 82%, 85.9%, 81.6% - also almost "bronze" de facto in the absence of even basic certification 80 Plus de-Yura. The peak efficiency of the block was recorded at the power of 343 W and amounted to 86.3%.
Power factor under load keeps above level 99%, which is an excellent indicator.
Duty source
C stated permissible load on duty nutrition in Hiper clearly got excited: the M800 block voltage of the duty source is dropped down after reaching the load in 3 A.
The "duty" of a more powerful block lasts until the voltage collapse is somewhat longer, but still it turned out to be unable to issue a load declared by the manufacturer.
In principle, it is unlikely that it can be called a critical disadvantage - typical of the BP of such a class of loading duty duty withstands. But why was it generally overwhelmed with the overestimated parameters?
RESULTS
Against the background of less powerful models of the M series electrical parameters M800 and M900 blocks look much more attractive: the magnificent stress stability in the entire load range, good efficiency, slightly smaller claims to voltage ripple bursts.
But the blocks are very hot (especially M900), despite the fairly high starting turns of the fans, the rise of the speed of rotation of the impeller with the smallest load and quite a decent efficiency. In addition, the capacitors used in these blocks are just as doubtful as in cheaper models, and relative to the M900 block there are suspicions of the overpricing of power over the calculated platform.
The next review is devoted to the middle class power supply from the Hiper brand. The M600 model of 600 W refers to the power sources of the initial mid-level and is designed to be installed in home or inexpensive gaming computers.
As the power supply is assumed in the Retail delivery, the M600 is packed into a high-quality box, but by opening it, you understand that there are no foam inserts inside the box, and the block itself is laid in the package and missed - you need to be careful when transporting. On the other hand, most blocks are supplied at all without boxes.
Inside there is a necessary kit for installing the power supply and network connection: Cable 220 V, a set of blocking screws to a housing, a set of screens for velcro wires, as well as a brief instruction.
Outside the block is similar to many other power sources, which is not surprising - it corresponds to the ATX standard. However, the appearance of the block body resembles a high-end model, which is what the black paint coating, a large 14-cm fan with transparent blades and power cables, sticked by a black nylon braid.
On the rear panel of the block there are large holes for air output, among which the power switch and the power plug were attached.
The cooling fan occupies the entire bottom panel of the BP housing, therefore the air flow created by them well blows the internal space of the device.
The fan, besides, is highlighted by red LEDs during operation. The backlight is not turned off.
System power cables are made non-clear, which is already distinguished by inexpensive blocks from more powerful and expensive, but the braids were awarded all cables, unlike many budgetary blocks, where the braid is either missing, or is present only on the pieces of the plumes.
The cable set is sufficient for the assembly system with a single video card segment of the Mainstream segment, or with two budget video cards.
· One power cable with a fork 20 + 4 contacts 48 cm long
· One 4 + 4-cm long processor power cable 48 cm long
· One video card power cable with two connectors 6 + 2 contacts 40 cm long
· One cable with two SATA connectors 40 + 14 cm
· Two cables with two SATA connectors and one molex 40 + 14 + 14 cm long
· One cable with two Molex connectors and one floppy Long 40 + 14 +14 cm
For a serious system of such a set, it will be not enough, but for an average home machine with one video card and even with a decent set of drives may well have enough such a set.
Inside
After breaking the unit, we will see a fairly ordinary picture, which was normal a few years ago - Hiper M600 was built according to a classic scheme with a group stabilization of voltages on magnetic amplifiers. Therefore, inside its corps, only two large radiator with developed fins are noticeable.
However, honors, and essential, from old blocks is a built-in active power factor corrector, which now requires to stop at all blocks with a power of more than 450 W. Its choke is located under the canister of the radiator with key transistors, which is cooled by part-time and APFC power elements.
The power capacitor has a capacity of 390 μF at a voltage of 420 V and produced by TEAPO. The duty stabilizer is built on the Top265EG Shi Controller, which provides high efficiency, and the PWM block controller has a PS223 marking. In the block circuitry, components are applied with low current loss, which gives hope for a high PBC of the power source, despite the fact that the 80Plus certificate is not declared by the manufacturer.
The main disadvantage of the HiPer M600, as a modern block, can be called a group stabilization of stresses, while most competitors use separate stabilization, albeit on obsolete and inefficient magnetic amplifiers. The minus of group stabilization is the ability to increase voltage on other tires if one of the tires will be increased power consumption. Of course, in 99% of computers of such a skew consumption it is impossible to achieve, but nevertheless, let's say, the test booth is quite this, although it serves only for verification. In reality, it is not worth afraid of group stabilization, but if it is critical for you the behavior of the power supply on your car and requires very stable meals, it is better to look closely to the BP with separate stabilization and better on the resonant transducers (many seasonic models). Filtering capacitors (which are manufactured by TEAPO with a positive reputation) at the output is sufficient to create optimal voltage parameters, their number is within the ATX 2.2 standard (two capacitor for each line). A quiet 140mm fan FUJIAN FJ1352512SH is used as a cooling fan, and in more expensive HiPER blocks.
By the way, the HiPer M600 block is the child's child's infamous company Andyson, with which, as it seemed to us, Hiper stopped communications, and here again. The main complaint to the Andyson blocks was disgusting soldering and poor-quality assembly. However, in our case, you can even notice in the photo, the assembly is quite high quality. Yes, and the component soldering is performed at a high-quality level - it seems, Hiper tightened quality control, which led to the improvement of all parameters. In general, the quality of assembly, circuitry and soldering claims to HiPer M600 did not have anything.
Characteristics
Testing
We conducted a small study of the block parameters at various loads, as well as measured its efficiency at various levels of load.
According to the results of the study, it is safe to recommend Hiper M600 to purchase. It withstands the stated power, fully complying with the ATX 2.2 standard for cross-loading characteristics. However, compared with power blocks with separate stress stabilization, it demonstrates less stress stability over the channels closer to the maximum load on the tires, but the voltage deviations do not exceed 4% (5% is allowed according to the standard). The efficiency of the block is equal to or exceeds 80%, but for some reason the indications of the compliance with the 80Plus certificate is not. Noise level, as it should be, was very low - a quiet fan is not accelerated to high revolutions, and by virtue of the high efficiency, the block does not heat more than 60 degrees, so it does not need a powerful blowing. It is HiPer M600 about 2300 rubles, which is quite inexpensive.
Today we introduce our readers with the Hiper M800 power supply. For all models of M Series manufactured by HiPER, a reliable design, gold-plated power output connectors, a quiet 140 mm highlighted fan. Perhaps against the backdrop of new bipotable BP classes with gold and platinum certificates of 80plus, the effectiveness of this model will not seem so impressive, but such advantages, as stability and, most importantly, the moderate price make the M800 attractive model for many users.
In the model range of the HiPer M series, in addition to the 800-watt M800 model under consideration, the M500, M550, M600, M650, M550, M900, and M1000 corresponding power is also included.

⇡ Delivery set. Design
In retail, the Hiper M800 power supply is supplied in simple packaging with an uncomplicated and even ascetic design: white background, logo, name and ... all. However, the boxes of most of the budget models of many producers look as well, except that the handle for carrying is provided here.
Inside the box, everything is also concise: the power supply, power cable, tie on velcro, fasteners, instruction, warranty card. Only what is really needed to work.
The housing of the HIPER M800 model is made of durable steel and covered with black paint with glossy tide. The layout is traditional for most models of recent years: a large fan on the bottom plane is closed with a decorative lattice on the lower plane, "cellular" ventilating grille on the outer end - along with the connector for connecting the power cable and the power switch. The remaining walls are deaf, without holes.
The M800 cable system is fully built-in - includes the following items:
- 24 (20 + 4) -Contact main power cable system board ATX12V.
- Two built-in cables with 8 (4 + 4) - Contact CPU power connections
- Four cables with 8 (6 + 2) -Contact PCI EXPRESS Power Continuisors
- Power cables with eight SATA connectors
- Power cord with two molex connectors and one FLOPPY power connector
All cables are enclosed in shielding.
The BP cooling system is made on the basis of the 140 mm RL4P S1402512HH fan manufactured by Globe Fan. The key characteristics of the fan, according to the manufacturer's information, are: sliding bearings, nominal supply voltage 12 V, maximum current consumption 0.5 A, maximum rotation speed of 1800 revolutions per minute, airflow up to 135.74 cubic feet per minute (CFM), maximum Noise level up to 36.7 dBA.
The primary circuits of the voltage converter are made along the one-stroke scheme, using an electrolytic capacitor with a par with a par value of 470 μF, 450 V. All electrolytic capacitors used in the production of the M800 power supply unit are designed for operation at temperatures up to 105 ° C.
Radiators of cooling system are relatively small, but more larger than in most power supplies of new generations with high energy efficiency. In essence, the HiPer M800 model is made according to one of the schemes, quite popular couple-triple years ago, without additional DC-DC converters than, in fact, and the highest efficiency is explained and the need to dispel additional energy volumes in the form of heat on radiators.
The HiPer M800 power supply has the following protection systems:
- SCP - from short-circuit power supply output
- OTP - overheating protection
- OPP - Protection against overload in total power in all outputs
- OVP - Protection against output voltages
- OCP - overload protection
The performance of the power supply is very high-quality, installation, soldering, fastening large components and isolation in critical places is performed well.
⇡ Testing technique
Since our last articles on the power blocks, the test method used in the 3DNews laboratory has not changed. You can familiarize yourself with it in full, for example, in this article. The schedule, compiled by the results of a study of the efficiency of the test power supply, contains reference indicators according to the 80Plus family standards, as well as minimum requirements Basic standard ATX12V version 2.2.
⇡ Test results
Fill the load parameters test stand According to the model marking.
The test results of the HIPER M800 model in the automatic cross-load mode showed high stability in the entire load range, with non-paying deviations that do not mention the permissible standard.
In the static load mode with manual adjustment when removing the characteristics to build the Survection efficiency schedule, it was confirmed: one or two percent of the deviation from the nominal at maximum load, not more, with about 10% power overloading of the power supply above passport 800 W for approximately 20 minutes Also demonstrated a stable operation and a stock of the reliability of this model.
Below is a graph of the DBD dependency on the load level. Well, without stars from the sky, but it is quite worthy for an inexpensive model of such power.
RESULTS
The HiPer M800 power supply is not burdened with extracamplement, modular design of cables and other reducing delivery with features and components. At the same time, the stated 800 W, it gives it easily, while remaining quite quiet and not hot. The available set of power cables is more than enough to build a serious desktop system with multiple graphic accelerators and multiple drives.
As for the price, at the time of writing this article online retail offered the Hiper M800 model at a price within 3,100-4,300 rubles, which can be called quite adequate for powerful, 800-W model.
