这几个月以来，Hardware Secrets和HardOCP网站陆续揭露了在海外航嘉品牌以及航嘉ODM的产品严重虚标的问题。这一虚标问题并不只限于一两款产品，而是分布在几乎所有航嘉零售和ODM产品当中。它们的共同特点就是当输出功率达到标签上标称的功率时会炸。

如果你不清楚怎么炸的，可以看这里和这里。

事实上当航嘉Green Star 450W最早在Hardware Secrets网站的测试中爆炸后，航嘉便联系了Hardware Secrets网站，希望他们撤下航嘉有问题的评测，作为交换航嘉会在他们网站上登广告。

是的，以刊登负面新闻要挟厂商给广告合同或者封口费的做法在国内几乎是业界常态。之前某头文字D的网站曾经对航嘉这么干过，再往前某网站还曾经对某S厂商这么干过。整个互联网上都在这么做，不是吗？整个互联网都是拿到航嘉的电源，接上一套平台，跑个150W左右的负载，然后说“这个东西真的很赞！”，偏偏有一两个网站要测出“航嘉会炸”这样的结果来，不是么？

所以国内业界广告费第一多的航嘉被一个海外小网站攻击了，反过来给他们登广告，送封口费，也是很自然的情况。

很遗憾，少数网站注定了要做他们该做的事情。航嘉既然虚标了就总要被揭露出来，虚标是一个严重问题，对待揭露虚标者的态度，则又是新的问题了。

下面我们就来看看今天Gabriel Torres披露的这一情况。

Huntkey Tries to Bribe Hardware Secrets
引用:

I completely forgot to comment this with you. This story happened a while ago, but today I’ve got a new e-mail from them about the same subject. Right after I posted the Huntkey Green Star 450 W review Huntkey contacted me saying that they would like me to take down the review and that they would start advertising on Hardware Secrets.

But one thing has absolutely nothing to do with the other. First we are completely unbiased: we do not accept any kind of financial compensation for writing our articles and our advertisement contracts aren’t bind to the publishing of any kind of article about the advertiser. This is so true that sometimes we publish negative reviews about products from our advertisers (e.g. OCZ ProXStream 1,000 W) and they know that our editorial content must be unbiased, otherwise our readers will never believe in us when we say that a given product is good. Our articles and reviews are completely spontaneous and the results do not have any sort of interference from the manufacturers.

Unfortunately we know several publications, both inside and outside the internet, that do all sorts of dirty business, like charging for publishing an article, charging for giving an award seal, publish an article only if the manufacturer advertises with them, and not publishing negative reviews in order “to keep a good relationship with the manufacturer”. These are just some examples of biasing that happens all around the world, a.k.a. “payola” (read this excellent article exposing this) – and you, our critic reader, should start paying attention to the websites you read. We don’t do anything like this and we repudiate publications that do it (we simply cannot respect this kind of publication). Start suspecting of any publication that only tells good things about all products they review and never writes a single negative line.

Apparently on this case maybe Huntkey thought we were one of these websites that accept removing bad articles in exchange of advertisement.

The funniest thing was that they said our results were very different from the results achieved by other publications. Well, besides what I already explained above, there is simply no way to compare our power supply reviews to these lousy reviews posted all over the web, where the guy gets a 450 W power supply installs on a PC that is pulling 150 W and says that the power supply is amazing. With the first Huntkey review we posted we bought a second unit and the results were absolutely the same. According to Jon Gerow, founder of JonnyGURU, Huntkey power supplies are known in the industry for having a real wattage of 100 W below their labeled wattage.

It is really funny how some companies instead of being worried about improving the quality from their products try to vanish with the reviews that tell the truth about them. All serious companies use negative reviews to fix their products.

我完全忘了和你们说这件事。这事发生有一段时间了，但是今天我从他们那里收到一封关于同一个话题的新邮件。刚刚在我发布了HuntkeyGreen Star 450 W 评测后航嘉联系了我说他们想通过在Hardware Secret打广告方式让我撤下那篇评测。

但是一件事和另一件事完全没关系。首先我们完全不带任何偏见：我们不接受任何金钱上的资助来撰写文章同时我们的广告合同没有把广告投放者与任何刊出的文章联系起来。事实上有些时候我们会发布在我们这里投放广告的产品负面的评测。（例如OCZ ProXStream 1,000 W)）他们知道我们编辑的内容是毫无偏见的，否则我们的读者在我们褒扬一件产品时将不会再相信我们。我们的文章和评测完全是自发的同时结果也与生产厂家没有联系。

不幸的是我们知道一些媒体，在线的或纸质的，干尽了一切肮脏的交易，例如对发表文章收费，对颁奖收费，只发布与自己有广告联系的厂商文章，同时不发布负面评测以“与厂商保持良好关系”。上述只是部分带有偏见行为的例子，也叫做“贿赂”（参考这篇文章）-而你，我们苛刻的读者，应该开始留心那些网站。我们不做任何与此相关的事也做这种事的媒体划清界线（我们看不起那些媒体）。是时候怀疑那些只报喜不报忧的媒体了。

显然在这件事上也许航嘉认为我们也属于那些通过广告就能移除负面文章的网站一员。

最有趣的是他们说我们的结果与其他媒体的结果不一致。恩，抛开我上面的解释不说，别把我们的电源评测文章和那些到处都有的，让450w电源负载150w后大加赞叹的差劲文章混为一谈。从第一篇关于航嘉的评测发表之后，我们又购买了第二个电源其结果完全一致。以JonnyGURU创始人Jon Gerow来看，航嘉的电源向来都是以虚标100w额定功率闻名。

某些公司不去思考如何提高他们的产品质量而是费尽心思去消除敢说真话的评测文章（的做法）实在是搞笑。所有认真负责的公司都是通过负面评测来修正他们的产品。
