Antec to Launch High Current Gamer Plus PSU Series [HWS]

[duckula]

The High Current Gamer Plus power supplies will be compatible with the ATX12V v2.32 and EPS12V v2.92 standards, will have an active PFC circuit, four +12 V rails, 80 Plus Bronze certification, Japanese capacitors, and protections against over current (OCP), over voltage (OVP), short-circuit (SCP), over power (OPP), and over temperature (OTP) protections.

This new power supply series from Antec will be available in August, in 550 W, 650 W, and 750 W models.

OEM is Seasonic.

Someone over at Jonnyguru pointed out that these PSUs use the same design as the TruePower New series units. So putting the innards of the old TPN units into a new housing with a bigger fan and a different modular connector layout therefore forming a brand new series. What the point of doing that?

[QUOTE=kaboom from badcaps]antec has become infamous and synonymous with 'the plaque.'[/QUOTE]

That is probably my favourite posts on badcaps (Post #15 in this thread). Not only do I actually consider the smartpowers as a symbol of the capacitor plague, but it contains a hillarious typo

Antec was never really active in the toothpaste industry

Who would be their OEM if they enter toothpaste market? Colgate or Crest?

Just google "the worlds worst toothpaste brand" and pick that?
