Hiper Type R Mk II 880W Power Supply Review

Specifications

The Hiper Group Type R Mk II 880W power supply is rated for a combined, maximum output power of up to 880 watts with a momentary peak load rating of 1,040W.  No maximum operating temperature data is given.  The PSU includes universal AC line input (automatically adjusts the AC line voltage) and active PFC, which makes the unit more environmentally friendly to the local power grid. 


The Hiper Group has chosen to use four +12V rails instead of delivering a single, large +12V output as many newer power supply manufacturers are electing to do.  This is accomplished by implementing current limiting circuits into the design to conform to the 240 VA maximum guidelines – no single output should exceed 240 VA (12V x 20A = 240 VA).  However, the two +12V outputs that supply power to PCI-E graphics connectors (+12V3 and +12V4) are each rated at 30A to prevent potential power distribution problems from occurring when using multiple high-end video cards.
