It attracted many famous national IT media and overclocking fans to attend.

"Today's launching of 80PLUS Gold certified power supplies are dedicated to both OC fans and mainstream groups alike. We hope to bring energy-saving, safe, high quality but cost-effective products to more users." Mr. Liu said. "300W and 1200W 80PLUS gold certified power supplies stand for Huntkey pursuit of two extremes, one for high-end quality, and the other for entry level users. The Surmounting theme shows Huntkey's determination for surmounting and innovation." said another Huntkey representative in charge of the conference.

The X7 1200W 80PLUS gold certified power supply is the upgraded version of the X7 1200W 80PLUS silver certified version. This version adopts four advanced technologies, including phase-shifted full-bridge, CRM interleaved PFC, synchronous rectification and DC to DC module. Six +12V rails with combined output 99A support OC configuration. For material choice, Japanese capacitors ensure its good performance during overclocking. Compared to 1200W, the 300W 80PLUS gold certified power supply is dedicated to mainstream groups. It adopts LLC Resonant, synchronous rectification and DC to DC module design. 300W rated power with up to 30% sufficient power provided. At typical load, it can reach 91% efficiency. 2x6PIN PCIe connector support GTX 460/HD 6850 graphic cards and Japanese capacitor adoption make it a better choice for mainstream gamers.

Villa Li, Huntkey global marketing manager, said "The X7 1200W silver version got great feedback from many global OC fans after their testing, and as for its upgraded version, I think it will impress users as well. This version is launching worldwide. For 300W 80PLUS gold version, it will be sold first in mainland China and will come to the global market soon."

they look fugly. and a little skimpy-looking for a 1200w

I like that funky fan grill.

About internals:
1. Looks like a ripoff of AX1200
2. That transformer is even funkier than fan grill.

Full bridge phase shift sounds more like Antec's HCP-1200. I don't think it's a rip-off of any one platform.


Also, I don't think we're seeing the whole PSU. Most of the secondary seems to be missing. Perhaps this is a 1 1/2 PCB unit?

I believe jonnyGURU was saying he was going to use these for some BFG units, but then they went belly up.

It looks ok (inside & out) and I hope the price will also be ok (300$ max.).

Can't wait for some review'in

He was talking about the x7 80+ Silver Model IIRC; but between the two I don't know if there's a difference in topology.

roflmao! I thought that "Floopy" was too funny to not post here!

Anwyay- I agree that the overall appearance of the unit is a bit strange. Red-on-black is normally OK, and when done right it can look pretty cool, but Huntkey chose to use a weird extra red rectangle next to the fan grill, and another weird small angular thingy opposite the big rectangle. Speaking of the fan grill, it's square, and that's weird on its own. Not necessarily 'bad-weird', just weird. But the extra red bit makes the whole unit look kind of lame. Thankfully, when the unit is installed, nobody will see the lame color scheme..... They claim a "worldwide launch", so hopefully the good ol' O.Wolf will get his hands on one and put it thru its paces....
