OCUK Huntkey.

[dokko]

Looks like my upgrade will require more power, it wasn't budgeted for, so i need to keep the costs down.

550w should do it, and i want to spend as little as possible.

Someone (caithomas) recommended the Huntkey for my PSU problem, but i know nothing about them and i'm slightly weary,

But i was checking through the threads and it said it comes with a lifetime warranty, which suggests they are confident in their build quality.

So is anyone using them? Any horror stories out there?

Cheers.

They seem to be quite a good psu, what will it be powering?

I take it your wary rather then weary?

Sorry, I know that doesnt help and its annoying to correct people, but it kinda amused me.

There isn't that much info about Huntkey available but what I have found suggests them to be rather more competent than your average budget PSU. I'd probably pick the Arctic Freezer 7 Pro over that cooler, particularly if you want to overclock.

well i recomended them as a bdget performance psu as i use one and it is the best bang for your £ without going to the 70 to 80 mark
