HEC | Cougar

All of Cougar's PSU's are made by HEC who they partnered with in 1979. Several Cougar models have issues with voltage regulation and efficiency. That being said, the GX series is quite good. Check out reviews before buying Cougar because this is a hit or miss brand.


and ACBel is a PSU OEM manufacturer with solid reputation as PSU maker

Cougar RS 650 W Power Supply Review | Hardware Secrets

Conclusions

The Cougar RS 650 W is, in reality, a 600 W power supply, as it explodes if you try to pull more than 600 W from it. We tested two samples, with the same results.

Users buying this unit probably won’t pull anywhere close to 600 W or 650 W. We believe that manufacturers must label power supplies with their true wattages. Therefore, we can’t recommend this unit.

It is important to understand that the manufacturer may not have done this on purpose. The RS 650 W looks like a textbook case of a power supply that was labeled at a room temperature of only 25º C (which we believe doesn’t represent a real-world scenario). As the ability to deliver current (and, thus, power) drops as temperature increases, it can’t deliver its labeled power at high temperatures. In cases like this, the power supply over power protection should have kicked in, which didn’t happen with the reviewed power supply.

Cougar A-Series 560 W Power Supply Review | Hardware Secrets
Conclusions

This is the third power supply from Cougar in a row that fails our tests. It seems that they test and label their power supplies at 25º C, and they behave badly under higher temperatures. (We test power supplies between 45º C and 50º C, and semiconductors lose their ability to deliver current and power, and efficiency drops, with temperature.)

The A-Series 560 W presented decent efficiency between 83% and 84%, when we pulled between 20% and 60% of its labeled wattage (i.e., between 112 W and 336 W). At 80% load (448 W), efficiency dropped to 81%. At full load, however, efficiency dropped way below the 80% mark, at 77.8 percent. We wonder how this unit got the 80 Plus Bronze certification.

Also, this unit has a voltage regulation problem, with its +5VSB and +3.3 V getting outside the proper range as you approach the unit’s labeled power.

Because of these problems, we can’t recommend this product.
