HIPER is one of the computer hardware companies that's specialized in power supply units with high efficiency ratings and multiple options and protection systems. As the HIPER built PSUs, the shorthand for power supply units, are aimed at the high end computer systems with a lot of energy requirements, the company decided that it was high time to release another series of units that are better in tone with today's trends.

After the company released its fifth generation of power supply units that were met very good by computer enthusiasts and power users, HIPER presented at the Games Convention in Leipzig the "Energy Saving" line of its latest PSUs that include ultra high efficiency models. All those power supply units are rated with a medium energy efficiency of over 87 percent for the top end units from the Type R Mk II and Type M lines of products. One interesting thing about the Type M line of PSUs is that they all come with four embedded high speed USB ports in the back of the unit casing, a features that allows users to extend the total number of USB compatible devices that can be attached to the computer system without the need to buy an external USB hub.

The new PSU units from the Type M series are called HPU-4M630 and HPU-4M880 and thy feature the well known HIPER Mesh-Design as well as an environmental friendly package, while the HPU-5K/B680 and HPU-5K/B880 from Type R Mk II series come with even more USB ports, eight in total. Another feature of this series is the USB styled charger that continues to work even when the host computer system is shut down.

In order to face the power requirements of the modern day computer systems, all HIPER power supply units from the new generations are certified against the Intel's LGA775 and AMD's AMD2 power specifications, as well as Nvidia's multi graphics cards setups. The HIPER power supply units are not only energy efficient, but they are almost noiseless running as their bug fan blades are operating at around 20db under normal load conditions.
