The HCG-620, part of Antec’s High Current Gamer Series of power supplies, is the perfect combination of power
and efficiency. Delivering 620 continuous watts of power, the HCG-620 features a high-power +12V rail and special
heavy-duty High Current connectors and cabling that supply extreme levels of power. At the same time, the HCG-
620 delivers superb efficiency thanks to its 80 PLUS® Bronze Certification and Active PFC. Highest-quality gold-
plated connectors, Japanese-brand capacitors and quiet 135 mm double ball bearing fans complete the package.

The connectors and power specifications of the HCG-620 PSU are all compatible with ATX12V v2.3 and EPS12V
v2.91 specifications. The HCG-620 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 (Active 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: OVP (Over Voltage Protection), SCP
(Short Circuit Protection), OPP and OCP (Over Current Protection). 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 HCG-620.

ERTIFICATION
80 PLUS® certification is the most widely recognized
independent standard in power supply efficiency. An
80 PLUS® certified power supply uses less energy and
generates less heat to stay cooler, run quieter and last
longer. The HCG-620 has been 80 PLUS® Bronze
certified to be at least 82% efficient at a wide range of
operating loads; this will lower your operating costs
and help protect the environment.
