$14.99
Rosewill seems content to continue releasing average power supplies, and like the larger types, the Hive 550W comes with 80 Plus Bronze certification. Nevertheless there are some high-end PSUs as well (we will review them soon) . In fact this is the first time we test a PSU from this company, so it will be interesting to compare the model with other well known brands. Currently their products can be bought in the USA, Canada and some Asian countries only. Even so Rosewill is quite famous for their power supplies and PC peripherals.
According to the manufacturer's specifications, the Hive PSU uses a "single strong 12V rail" and a "mesh sleeving on all cables for easier cable routing and better ventilation". In addition, the power supply is able to work 24 hours a day at 40°C ambient temperature. The 80 Plus Bronze certificate is another feature. Product features include a 3-year warranty and a Japanese main capacitor as well. The whole PSU series is SLI and CrossFire Ready. Some cables are modular.

I just feel like if a company sends in a power supply to you, they are going to send the absolute best performing power supply they have. It might not always be reflective of real world results.Graphics cards and CPUs are different. The performance will be the same. Although I never trust the overclocking results. Again the company sending you the product is going to send the lowest voltage part they have, giving the review the best OC results possible. I wait to read the forums about how well they OC in real life.
LeftSide Reply RE: Review the real thing. by pc_void on Saturday, March 17, 2012 I agree. PSUs are too often cherry picked. Takes away from the review in the end. 
pc_void Reply RE: Review the real thing. by Martin Kaffei on Saturday, March 17, 2012 This PSU has no Japanese main capacitor as promised. So nobody checked this sample. 
Martin Kaffei Reply RE: Review the real thing. by ssddaydream on Sunday, March 18, 2012 While I agree that retail units will often differ from review samples, I disagree that CPUs and GPUs would be the same. Performance characteristics at identical clock speeds would be the same, but overclocking and thermal characteristics could differ significantly. 
ssddaydream Reply RE: Review the real thing. by AnnonymousCoward on Sunday, March 18, 2012 uhh, he said CPUs and GPUs are different. 
AnnonymousCoward Reply RE: Review the real thing. by ssddaydream on Sunday, March 18, 2012 I am saying CPUs and GPUs vary largely. ssddaydream Reply RE: Review the real thing. by Swirlser on Sunday, March 18, 2012 The OP is saying CPUs and GPUs vary.OP: "Graphics cards and CPUs are different."
ssddaydream: "I disagree that CPUs and GPUs would be the same."
Swirlser Reply RE: Review the real thing. by Just1Jay on Sunday, March 18, 2012 No, sir. ;- )I think you are being waaay too picky. ;- )
Anyway, many reviews are done with manufacture demos which we hope are the same as the retail items. No matter what the component.
Just my input.

Just1Jay Reply Curious about Sirtec/High Power by Spacecomber on Saturday, March 17, 2012 I'm not familiar with this manufacturer. Do they have their own retail line (as do Seasonic and Fortron, for example)? What would some typical brands be (and maybe models) that make use of this company for the manufacturing their products. Looking at their web site, I get the impression that they make a range of components for the electronics industry, but I couldn't easily get any further specifics. (They are a Taiwanese company with much of their manufacturing done on the mainland.)
