Hiper Type-M 800W Power Supply Review

Interior Impressions


Upon first glance we can see many similarities between the Hiper Type-M 880W and other Channel Well-built power supplies I have reviewed in the past. Actually, aside from the purple PCB and purple wrapping around the coils, its innards are identical to those of the Corsair TX750. I looked high and low and for the life of me, I couldn’t find ANY difference between this power supply and Corsair’s 750W unit.

Both the primary and secondary sides are well-appointed with high quality components but I find it hard to believe that this Hiper power supply can keep its output clean up to 1040W. Unfortunately, I will not be able to test this theory of mine since I don’t have the equipment necessary to push this unit that far.


Like we have seen before with this particular Channel Well design, there is a single 105*C rated Matsushita cap on the primary while the secondary is decked out with Nippon Chemi-Con caps. Both of these capacitor manufacturer choices are top-notch and I can’t see any problems popping up with them during long term use.


All of the chokes and coils of the Hiper Type-M 880W are covered in a purple sleeving that is supposed to help with heat dispersal and cut down on any noise these components may make. This is something that we have seen on every CWT-built power supply we have tested.

There is a secondary vertical PCB that holds the connector for the fan as well as +5V traces which I could not trace back to the primary PCB.


One of the more interesting things on the custom purple PCB is the silk-screening of the various outputs this CWT design can be used for. With different combinations of components, this PCB can be used for power supplies ranging from 630W all the way up to 980W.
