Antec Launches New High Current Gamer Extreme Series PSUs
Antec, a leading provider of high-performance computer components and accessories for the gaming, PC upgrade and Do-It-Yourself market, broadens its range of power supplies with the new High Current Gamer Extreme series. The PSU line is now commercially available from 179 Euros for the 850W model and 209 Euros for the 1000W model (suggested retail price).
The High Current Gamer Extreme features a fully-modular cable management system which enables users to use only the cables which are needed, greatly simplifying installation and helps clear out excess cables that can obstruct and reduce airflow.

The Zero RPM fan mode further ensures a longer-lasting and quieter system, by using thermal sensors to activate the fan only when you need it.
Equipped with features that ensure peak performance for the enthusiast and gaming-oriented segment, the High Current Gamer Extreme series also brings a new level of visual appeal to PC builds with a distinguished, aluminum outer casing styled with an elegant rose gold finish.
A bevy of features, from the 80 PLUS Gold rating, to the fully-modular cabling and 100% Japanese capacitors, make the HCG Extreme a great choice for a reliable and efficient PC system for gamers and professionals. The HCG Extreme pushes the standard for excellence with the circuit shield suite of industrial protections and is backed by a 10-year warranty.

...Its bad, like... embarrassingly bad.
Never again for me.
I have a 1300 HCP platinum which I cannot use, except for my 4790k, my 5820k and below
Soon after I did a pair of builds for 2 brothers USB 2 came out and i asked if I could purchase replacement front panel modules as the cases came with USB 1 ... they sent them no charge. The 2nd time was a fan failure, they sent two no charge.
Blame the luck of the draw more often than not. Even the safest buy in the world has a failure now and then. Here's the latest RMA rates for PSUs'
Except the manufacturer doesn't respond.
When the z170 came out, my power supply was no longer compatible. And this was not indicated anywhere.
I got a ticket from Antec, they don't want to know.
- Antec set the product specifications.
- Antec chose that company to manufacture the power supply.
- Antec slapped their name on the final product.
- Antec supplied the warranty.
Reliability is Antec's responsibility, not the OEM's.
