Check this.

This is the 2nd Hiper to fail on me in the space of 2 weeks.

They are really really bad, try searching the forum about 30+ gone recently

get a replacement from Antec, Seasonic, Tagan or Corsair if you can.

That's crazy :eek:

Surely OcUK shouldn't stock a product that's proven to be so faulty? Or is it a case of a silent majority of owners with them working fine?

I have a blue one in my PC atm.

Everytime I turn my PC on I expect it to die.

Must be paranoid with all the bad news posted on the forums everyday almost. I would sell it to some poor punter and get it replaced with something else!

The video I did was pretty scary to do, the thing was buzzing! I was afriad of the thing catching fire or something. Im sending that video to Hiper to see what kind of response I get, im getting to know there RMA department pretty well now.

There is another one of these bombs in my other machine, I am just waiting for that one to go as well.

Mine died within a week of getting it! I now have an Enermax and have never looked back!

The hiper also didn't fit in my case properly because of its stupid metal screw on wires.

I cannot stress enough how much this annoyed me when I installed mine. I mean, WTF were they thinking?

I have a Hiper type R 580 in my old system.

it's old because the system recently blew.

One of the few parts left working is the PSU.
