Conclusion

With the NRP-HC1001 Xigmatek shows off a very solid power supply for the enthusiasts market. Through the usage of high quality materials and components as well as a good cooling concept Xigmatek succeeds in manufacturing a stabli, efficient and silent power supply. With 83 percent also the efficiency is on a very high level. In our tests we haven't been able to hit the claimed efficiency of 87 percent but this is probably down to the fact that our test setup didn't draw enough power to create an optimal test environment.

The fact that the power supply is wider than the ATX standard states could cause mounting issues in small cases.

Also the noise level was very low and we call it subjectively very silent.

We enjoyed the cable management Xigmatek provided the NRP-HC1001 with. The labeling of the different cable cords makes assembling a new system much easier.

As soon as the Xigmatek NRP-1001 gets listed in a Swiss online shop we will mention its price here.

We thank Xigmatek for providing us with this test sample.
