This PSU seems to get a lot of good reviews. But Trusted reviews had a problem with it:
The +12V connector is removable and this is where things are starting to look slightly odd. On a normal PSU the +12V connector is wired up with two 12V and two ground wires. On the Type R, the connector to the PSU only has two holes, which means that you only get one 12V and one ground connection.
This is a cheap approach and Hiper has followed it up on the PCI Express graphics card power connector as well, although this time things are far worse. Even though the physical connector has three holes, only two of them are used. This means that three 12V wires and three ground wires are connected to one connector each. This could bode trouble for high-end PCI Express graphics cards as some of them will not function properly unless you have two separately wired 12V connectors.

Some of the connectors have only 2 pins ( link below). But it is NVidia SLI certified. What's the deal? Is trusted reviews correct about this while most other sites praise the Hiper?
