For $230 the NZXT HALE90 v2 1000W PSU needs to perform well to justify the price, especially as the 1200W model currently costs the same amount. [H]ard|OCP has the tools to test this PSU to the limits and that is exactly what they did; the unit received a passing mark but no award as the quality of it's voltage regulation was right in the middle of the pack, no better nor worse than the competition. It is a very efficient PSU if that is one of your prerequisites, it is rather attractive and offers a large selection of modular cabling. Check out the full review for the exact specifications.
"The new NZXT HALE90 v2 1000 watt computer power supply has more than a few marketed points that talk it up like; clean currents, rock steady performance, eccentric design, and infused design elements. All that aside, we will put it through our brutal testing suite and find out if it is worth your hard earned cash."

Even though it looks amazing,
Even though it looks amazing, i bougth 2 of 1200w of nZxt hale90 series 2 and it was the worst decision i could make. The first one, after one day of using it, it cut the entire power supply at the office due to an electrical issue of the device. I though it was only a minor issue but it didnt turn on again. I’ve to call the provider to get a replacement.regarding The second one, after 5 days of using it i had the same issue so i cant say that it was not just a problem of an specific nxzt. The problem is caused by a bad design of the device.
