Huntkey Win7 6600 Power Supply Review

Conclusions

The Huntkey Win7 6600 proved to be a good mainstream power supply. It is nice to find a unit that always presents efficiency above 80%, yet the manufacturer has decided not to apply for the 80 Plus certification. Therefore, even though this power supply doesn’t have the 80 Plus certification, it consistently presents efficiency above 80 percent. Other highlights of this power supply include the excellent voltage regulation (three percent regulation for the positive outputs during all tests) and noise and ripple levels below half of the maximum allowed, which is what we like to see to consider a power supply “flawless” on this section.

The only issue with this power supply is its protections, which are tightly configured. We couldn’t pull more than 500 W from this unit. In fact, we couldn’t even use the same load pattern we usually use for testing 500 W power supplies. Some users will like to know that the protections of this power supply are in place. However, we prefer to see at least a 10% margin between the power supply labeled wattage and the maximum power we can really extract from the product. This would give us some margin for peak operation.

The Huntkey Win7 6600 accomplishes its goal of being a good mainstream power supply. Of course, if you want a power supply with higher efficiency, more cables and connectors, and some extra wattage between the unit’s labeled wattage and its protections’ trigger points, you will have to pick a different product.
