Its not just a case of which is better, but you need to look at all the specs for these 2.

Hiper 4k580

Jeantech arctic 600
http://www.jeantech.com/600.htm

On the whole they have very similar traits and abilities.
Rail Hiper Jeantech
+3V 30a 32a
+5v 36a 60a
+12v1 20a 19a
+12v2 18a 19a


As you can see, the jeantech has the slightly better rails for 5 and 3.3v.
You can also see that the hiper comes with a 120 and an 80mm fan for cooling, where as the jeantech only has the 120 yet the hiper claims to be the quietest at only 18dB as opposed to the jeantechs quoted maximum of 31.5dB.

Very hard choice. I'd go for the Hiper, as I'm not happy with the lack of a decent peak power figure on the jeantech site.
