Conclusions

Like other members from Green Star family, LW-6350HG exploded when we tried to pull its labeled power.

So far we’ve tested five power supply models from Huntkey and only one, Titan 650 W (a.k.a. Rocketfish 700 W) didn’t explode.

Even if it didn’t explode it would continue to be a bad product, as it has only two SATA power connectors and no auxiliary power connectors for video cards.

And even if it was labeled with its correct capacity (280 W according to our tests) we wouldn’t recommend it, as it would explode if you overload it and not shut down as good power supplies do.

As usual, the manufacturer assumes that the user won’t pull anywhere near the power supply maximum power. But if we are buying a 350 W power supply we want it to be able to deliver 350 W. Otherwise it is false advertisement!

With so many bad power supply reviews being done around the web simply because most websites don’t have the correct knowledge in electronics and don’t have the correct equipment to test power supplies, we are glad to expose this kind of scam.
