ERFORMANCE
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.
