Pros
  • Sleeved cables
  • Quality components
  • 6 SATA connectors


Cons
  • Cables are partially sleeved - to the first connector only
  • Bad performance
  • Expensive for what it offers ~65$
  • ”Chinese watts”- it struggles at 400W
  • Few connectors, short cables
  • 4 +12V lines


Hipro K1 580W is mediocre product. Its performance is not on the level, its price is anything but low, its expansion capabilities - low. At least it uses quality components that protect your system instead of turning it in a time bomb. Bottom line is - this PSU is suitable for use in serious pre-assembles systems (mediocre performance, quality components, capable of supporting relatively powerful components), if only its price wasn't so unjustifiably high.

Many thanks to our friends from Risk , for making this review possible.
