NeoPower™ 430/500/550/650
High efficiency modular power supply
This manual covers the entire family of NeoPower power supply units (PSU).
This line of PSU has increased output power distribution. The NeoPower (except
the NeoPower 430) features ATX12V version 2.2/ EPS12V specifications to match
the newest Intel® and AMD processor requirements. Furthermore, it includes three
+12V outputs that deliver safer and more reliable power to your system’s
components. NeoPower generates less heat because of high efficiency technology.
This keeps the power supply itself cooler and prolongs its working life. It also
includes a variety of industrial-grade protective circuitry: OPP (Over Power
Protection), OVP (Over Voltage Protection), and SCP (Short Circuit Protection),
UVP (Under Voltage Protection).
Special Quiet Computing™ fan operation
NeoPower PSUs feature an innovative design to help decrease noise during normal
use, but still allow for superior cooling capabilities as loads increase. With its high
efficiency and low heat generation, the power supply utilizes a 12cm fan.
The fan rotates slowly and quietly to blow hot air out of the power supply,
speeding up as heat increases. The NeoPower feature Universal Input, which
allows you to connect the power supply to any AC power source between
100~240V without having to worry about setting a voltage switch. This power
supply also features Active PFC, which improves the power factor value of the
power supply by altering the input current wave shape and thus helps transmission
across the power grid.
Advanced cable management system
NeoPower PSUs feature Antec’s advanced cable management system, which
allows you to use only the power cables that you need, thereby reducing clutter
and improving airflow inside your case. Inside the package, apart from a power
cord, you will find the following:
1.
The 24-pin main power connector with detachable 4-pin section for 20-pin
applications.
2.
The 8-pin +12V (not on 430 watt model) connector and 4-pin +12V
connector as standard.
3.
One 8-pin with detachable 2-pin PCI-E connectors (NeoPower 650 only).
4.
Five 6-pin output sockets, for use with the modular cables to power your
drives and other peripherals.
Modular Cable Set
1.
There will be two sets of cables with three standard 4-pin molex peripheral
connectors at one end and a 6-pin PSU connector at the other end.
2.
One Y-adapter with one standard 4-pin Molex peripheral connector at one end
and two female floppy power connectors at the other end.
3.
NeoPower 430 and 650 include one PCI-E cable with a 6-pin PCI Express
graphic card connector at one end and a 6-pin PSU connector at the opposite
end. The NeoPower 500 and 550 come with two of these cables.
4.
Two sets of cables with two SATA drive connectors at one end and a 6-pin
PSU connector at the opposite end.
