Antec’s HCP-850 unifies raw power with advanced PSU engineering to meet the demands of high performing PCs. 

A full-featured, 80 PLUS® Gold-certified unit, the HCP-850 is capable of outputting 99 percent of its rated power on 

four +12V rails, ensuring CPU and graphics card compatibility. Exclusive to the High Current series, HCP-850 boasts 

High  Current  heavy-gauge  16  AWG  wiring  that  boosts  conductivity,  increasing  efficiency  and  improving  power 

delivery. In addition, a double-layer PCB, onboard DC-to-DC converters and Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) 

provide substantial voltage stability. To tackle the needs of your system, pick up Antec’s HCP-850.

The  connectors  and  power  specifications  of  the  HCP-850  PSU  are  all  compatible  with  ATX12V  v2.3  and  EPS12V 

v2.92  specifications.  The  HCP-850  features  Universal  Input,  which  automatically  senses  when  you  connect  the 

power supply to any AC power source between 100 - 240V without setting a voltage switch. This power supply also 

features  Active  Power  Factor  Correction  (PFC),  which  improves  the  power  factor  value  of  the  power  supply  by 

altering the input current wave shape, helping to power transmission across the grid.

ROTECTION

 

A variety of industrial-grade safety circuitry will help protect your computer: Over Current Protection (OCP), Over 

Voltage  Protection  (OVP),  Short  Circuit  Protection  (SCP),  Over  Power  Protection  (OPP)  and  Over  Temperature 

Protection (OTP). Sometimes the PSU will “latch” into a protected state. You will need to power off the PSU and 

clear the fault before it will function again. There are no user-replaceable fuses in your HCP-850.

 FAN

 

A PWM fan can spin much more slowly and be quieter than a voltage-controlled fan. The PSU uses a PWM fan that 

can spin as slow as 260 RPM or as fast as 2600 RPM, depending on load and ambient temperature. The PSU will 

vary the fan speed depending on the load of your computer and should be nearly inaudible when your computer is 

idling. The location of the PSU fan also helps to reduce the sound emitted by your computer.
