[Capper]

HIPER’s 5th generation Power Supply Units with patented integrated USB ports has arrived!

HIPER´s latest 5th Generation Power Supplies with integrated USB ports and charger port are available in North America by end of July. Debuted at Cebit 2007, the launch models are 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. This is another example of Hiper’s dedication to the “Energy Saving”, thus yield real monetary saving to the consumer.


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 certified up to NVIDIA® GeForce 8800 GTX. The HPU -5M 730 comes from the “M Series”. It also comes with the 4+1 USB set up, plus HIPER’s patented ExTender® for optimized cable management. This model now represents the current entry model of the 5th generation.


The recommended retail prices will be around $169 for the HPU-5K770 and $154 for the HPU-5M730 (prices excl. VAT). HIPER will be releasing “Ultra-efficient” models reaching up to 87% of both series in the next few months; this is only the launch of the 5th Generation PSU technology.

I don't get the point. With the amount of USB ports available on computers today, not to mention car chargers and wall outlet adapters, why would one need USB ports on their power supply?

[polobunny]

I'm not sure I get the idea. I guess the PSU has a connector going to the motherboard for the USB.
What's the point? Can't you just get a bracket for that? One that screws in the PCI slot?
The other, power only port is nice, though.
Because most often than not the problem is either the lack of USB ports AND/OR the lack of power from the USB ports, including the ones connected to the internal buses.

I have 9 devices plugged into my USB.
4 on my mobo, 4 on my pci card, and 1 in the front.

Zambini and I both have the Hiper R modular PSU's, and they are fricking awesome power supplies!!! Not one single glitch on this end, not sure about Zambini, but mine has worked flawless for about a year now!!!
