Conclusions

Huntkey V-Power 550 W is a Green Star 550 W with a different label and a slightly different cable configuration. And that’s it. This explains why V-Power 550 W and Green Star 550 W have the same model number (LW-6550SG).

Like all members from Green Star family, V-Power 550 W burns if you try to pull its labeled power continuously at a room temperature around 45º C.

It was really ridiculous to see Huntkey saying to us that V-Power 550 W and Green Star 550 W were different products.

If you are looking for a true 550 W power supply don’t buy this product. Take a look at the list of power supplies we already tested and that got an award seal for choosing a good product that won’t explode or damage your equipment.

Keep in mind that this problem seems to be specific with the Green Star and V-Power products, as we reviewed Huntkey Titan 650 W (first version of Rocketfish 700 W, RF700WPS, the current version RF700WPS2 is manufactured by CWT) and it didn’t explode.
