ERFORMANCE
Antec’s HCP-1200 unifies raw power with advanced PSU engineering to meet the demands of high performing PCs.
A full-featured, 80 PLUS® Gold-certified unit, HCP-1200 is capable of outputting 99 percent of its rated power on its
eight +12V rails, which contain high maximum loads to ensure graphics card compatibility. Exclusive to the High
Current series, HCP-1200 boasts High Current heavy-gauge 16 AWG wiring that reduces conducted resistance,
increasing efficiency and improving power delivery. In addition, a cool-running dual double-layer PCB and onboard
DC-to-DC converters provide substantial voltage stability.

The connectors and power specifications of the HCP-1200 PSU are all compatible with ATX12V v2.3 and EPS12V
v2.92 specifications. The HCP-1200 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-1200.

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 400 RPM or as fast as 4000 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.
