A few weeks ago we reviewed the ADATA HM 650W Power Supply and it scored very well, offering a low price point with a modular design and great all round performance. Today we are looking at the big brother, the 1200W unit which is aimed at people with multiple graphics cards and high output demands.

Right now in the high end, the Corsair AX1200 is pretty much as good a power supply as you can buy, but with the 80 Plus Gold certification comes a price, retailing at a rather hefty £225-230 in the UK. The ADATA HM 1200W might only be 80 Plus Bronze certified, but it is a modular design and can be bought in the UK for £150 inc vat. Substantial savings then and with a 3 year warranty for peace of mind … but is it worth the money?
