Mine is HEC Rapter II 500W. I can't find it in the net. Any information or review about this series from HEC? I hope they are lot better than Raptors.

HEC = Compucase are a little hit and miss on their products most of them are reasonably priced mediocre quality products but far from being the worst. Here is a review of one of their products http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/HEC-AcePower-480-W-Power-Supply/412/6

But one of my concern here is, why Rapters II don't have a site?
Are they just imitation?
How good are these imitations?

My guess is that they are just new and they are slow updating their website from Raptor to Raptor II http://www.hec-group.com.tw/retail_power_supply/
I would not be surprised that it is a rebranded Cougar unit which is their new brand name in US! http://www.cougar-world.com/psu_production.html

I hope someone review this series. Judging from xxnucronxx's date of post, I think its was approximately 4 months ago from the date of release.

i also bought one of this recently...5volt line always stays at 4.87 to 4.89 and im a little worried at first.so far, it never dropped down even under load which means its ok.and for their website, its korean. only prob i have with this PSU is cable management, it has too many wires and they are quite long.

build im using it with:
X4 955 stock
HD 6670 Sapphire
6gb ram
1 hdd WD 500
4 120mm fans
1 200mm

I think this is the same model with rapter 2 600w.

HEC isn't the greatest PSU maker...

They are what makes Thermaltake hit or miss.

I would get something else.
