Anybody aware of huntkey power supplies? I got to know its 500W 80% + efficiency model is available for 2.5k around with 5 yrs instant replacement over the counter warranty (all claims made by dealer, and i dont know how to verify, never heard about the brand too).

Is it OEM for some other reputed brand? By origin looks like chinese...

If it good one, would be really competitve and worth option relative to costly brands in market.....

Seems decent if same mode, but cheap looking, average build quality, no cable sleeving. Watt label is not everything, Check Seasonic/Corsair 400~ PSU also.

The Huntkey models I saw floating around here with local dealers were rubbish.

Hardware secrets has a couple of reviews on them, and needless to say most of them exploded : www.hardwaresecrets.com+huntkey+review]site:www.hardwaresecrets.com huntkey review - Google Search[/url]

I'm not sure if there have been newer models introduced, but to stay on the safe side - avoid it.

Avoid at all costs....

All of their PSU's exploded when testing at hardware secrets labs.

They really have a bad reputation for their Psu's.

Save yourself the trouble and get a Corsair.
