Hiper HPU-4M630 Power Supply
"High Performance Group (Hiper) has become known to modders through their feature (and bling) packed "Type-R" power supply line, but as we've preached to a cousin of ours, flashy rims alone won’t make a ’72 Beetle run faster (or in his case, run at all). Today we have one of Hiper’s less flashy “Type M” PSUs on the testing deck and we figured it’s time to see if there is more to a Hiper PSU than just bling."

Corsair TX750 750W
"Corsair, a company known for its high-performance system memory since rising to enthusiast stardom in the late 90's, has been toying around with the power supply market since last year when introducing the Corsair HX series. After the successful introduction of the HX520 and HX620, Corsair went on to introduce the VX series with the VX450W and VX550W. In Corsair's latest move, they have now christened the TX power supply series with the TX650 and TX750. In this review we have the Corsair TX750 power supply for testing, which complies with the ATX12V 2.2 standard, sports Active PFC, and offers a single high-performance +12V rail."

CoolMax CUQ-1200B Modular 1200W Power Supply Unit
"Whether you're a hardcore gamer with a set SLi or CrossFire video cards or a hardware enthusiast with several hard disks and an overclocked quad-core processor, the power draw your computer created can quickly add up to an outrageous electric bill. With so many systems now consuming 600W or more of continuous power, consumers are beginning to find ways to conserve energy and save their money. CoolMax has joined the 80-PLUS revolution by offering their Green Power CUQ-1200B modular power supply unit, and Benchmark Reviews inspects their claims as we load-test this unit for AC power ripple and DC voltage regulation.

I can remember almost a year ago when 1.0 kilowatt power supply units first hit the market. Around that same time, people were testing their SLi and CrossFire setups, and with rumor of Quad-SLi later becoming a reality it seemed like everyone would be using this much power into the future. Looking back, I am thankful the motherboard manufacturers essentially killed this idea, since it really seems ridiculous to need four video cards for anything. But for those who live and die by the virtual sword (gamers), there are cost-friendly solutions such as the CoolMax CUQ-1200B Modular 1200W Power Supply Unit."
