Just in case you missed my review of the High Power Tech 1200w 80+ Gold power supply.  Here is a little history on High Power Tech.  High Power Tech may be a company that many of us in North America aren't familiar with.  Most of their sales and marketing is geared toward Asia and Europe, but this doesn't mean that they are a power supply company that has just popped up and is hoping to make a name for themselves.  This company has been making high quality power supplies for over 20 years and has usually been the frontrunner with new technology and certifications.  High Power was the first company to get 80+ Gold certifications on the 1000w, 1200w and 1350w power supplies.  They were also first to get 80+ Platinum certification on their 1000w and 1200w power supplies.  Today, High Power Tech sent us the DP-1000-BR. This is a 1000w 80+ Bronze certified power supply.  Let's take a look at it and see how it performs.

Features

80 PLUS BRONZE certified Offer 85% minimum efficiency at 50% load

Golf - Surface Fan Whisper quiet double ball-bearing (up to 800W) 13.5cm golf surface fan brings more airflow volume with less noise than convention.

Off- Delay Fan (Fan Stays On After System Off) It allows PSU fan to continue running after system shut down for few seconds approximately, it helps to exhaust residual air at the end of the heating/cooling cycle for extending component life.

Single +12V Output Rail Offers maximum compatibility for the +12V demand.

100% Japan- made Capacitors Longer lifespan than electrolytic capacitors. (under 800W main capacitor only)

Reliable Japan- made Solid-state Capacitors Enhance your system durability and stability even under extreme conditions. (apply to 850W and 1000W)

Easily Detachable and Flexible Modular Cables Use only the cables you need. Reduce clutter from unused connectors and enhance the air flow inside your system. Specific color connectors and infixed socket with sticker design to ease installation.

PCI-Express Power Connectors Sufficient and stable current to fully support SLI & CrossFire Systems

Advanced Double Forward Circuit and Double-Layer PCB It brings more reliable, high efficiency and powerful power supply (Apply to 850W and 1000W)

All output cables with Nylon sleeve Cable sleeve avoids cable clutter, allows neat and easy installation for an improved airflow.

Patented Easy Swap Connector Quick and Easy installation

EuP 2010 Lot 6 compliant

RoHS Compliant made with hazardous-free components RoHS is the Restriction Of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment. This has been a standard in Europe and is now becoming a standard in the world. Not only lead, but cadium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants are limited as well.

What you see is what you get. NO Tweaks! True Wattage Rating is the industry's way of designating a power supply model's wattage capacity. It is based on the total DC output wattages that a power supply can continuously provide.

2 OZ Copper PCB: Lower temperature, lower resistance, lower EMI, lower power loss, and lower Impedance. Increased efficiency and electrical current flow.
