First debuted at Cebit 2007, the launch models are HIPER HPU-5K770 and HPU-5M730, both are packed with solid performance and durability. Besides the well-known server class design, build and quality, and Earth-friendly packaging, these new PSUs are upgraded with "patented" features: total of 4 integrated USB 2.0 ports, plus one convenient USB-style port for charging most mobile devices even when the computer is powered off. The HPU-5K770 is the first PSU of the new Type R Mk II series which comes in the un-mistakable "HiperToolBox", fully equipped and NVIDIA SLI & QUAD-SLI certified. The HPU-5M730 comes from the "M Series". It also has the 4+1 USB set up, plus HIPER's patented ExTender for optimized cable management. The recommended retail prices will be around US$169 for the HPU-5K770 and US$154 for the HPU-5M730 (prices excl. VAT). The new HIPER power supply units will be available in North America by end of July.

The usbports are quite clever.
 
Actually USB is a lot slower when it comes to recharging things so i dont recommend using it if you can use an normal plug.
 
I like Hiper concepts but I think their products could use a little more quality control. I've had a couple of really nicely designed keyboards but the production left something to be desired :(
 
Hmmm, seems pretty innovative. In saying that though, it seems like just a bit much to me. Seeing as how several motherboards now have 4-8, as well as cases having 2 usb ports, this just seems a bit like overkill to me. That may be because I just don't have the use for so many ports...
 
It's essentially pointless, USB can only give 0.5A, which is nothing for today's batteries. And I wouldn't like reaching over to my PSU to use USB.

Click to expand...

no to mention having to reach around to the back of your case. lol I prefer front or side usb's.
 
Actually you can have a usb wire plugged in all the time which will be at your desk.
 
My usb ports are constantly powered even when my pc is not on, is this normal?

My psu is a hiper one also!
 
They aint exactly powered on if you talk about the mouse and keyboard...Its just that most mobos give partial power to these 2 devices just in case you select a keyboard or mouse power on from within the bios.
 
That is one of the most cleverest ideas Ive seen. Im surprised more PSU makers dont do this.
