Antec's High Current Pro Platinum series is the pinnacle of power supplies and fully modular with a revolutionary 20+8-pin MBU socket for future needs. Operating up to 94 per cent efficient, HCP-1300 Platinum PSU can reduce electricity bills by up to 25 per cent, when compared to other power supplies. The HCP-1300's innovative 16-pin sockets create a new level of flexibility by doubling the modular connectivity, supporting two different 8-pins connectors and allowing for future connector changes. Highest-quality components, 100% Japanese-made capacitors, and a quiet 135mm double ball bearing fan complete the package.
The CircuitShield protection circuitry makes the HCP-1300 safe and reliable in any environment. The product has a seven-year warranty with 24/7 global online support service.This new power supply also has a fantastic feature for Bitcoin miners: the OC Link. It allows 2 HCP Platinum's to work in tandem to power the most demanding systems. To achieve a high rank as a Bitcoin miner, state of the art processors are a must. Such hardware requires not only stable and reliable power, but maximum energy efficiency to help minimize the operating costs. in the form of electricity and lots of PCI Express connectors for the many GPUs used. Arguably, no PSU in the world is as ready for this as Antec's the HCP-1300 Platinum with OC Link."Antec Power supplies have always been known for their high quality, functionality and reliability," says Jerome Francois, European Sales Director at Antec, Inc.

And if your unit is good or not depends entirely on what it is. If you bought it on ebay for €25 it was never good. If it's a Corsair or the old Antec HCP then it's probably still quite good.

I think....how can you tell when a PSU is going out, lol? Granted I've never had any problems whatsoever, but....I think I might've just jinxed myself! So, give me tips!
There is quad GPU gaming setups also mining. Because of mining there is lackness of high wattage PSUs in the market
