Product Description

Neo HE combines the most desired features in PC power supplies with unprecedented efficiency in design. These new power supplies' energy-efficient operation reduces power consumption by up to 20% compared with traditional power supplies, saving users money. Also generating less heat, and enabling cooling with a smaller, slower, quieter fan. Active PFC circuitry further reduces impact on the power infrastructure. The result is cooler, quieter, and more environmentally friendly power.PRODUCT FEATURES:Highly efficient (up to 85%), one super-silent 80mm fan keeps Neo HE cool; less than 18dBA noise level;Advanced Cable Management System improves internal airflow and reduces system clutter by allowing you to use only the cables you need;Universal Input with Active PFC: Use anywhere in the world without worrying about input voltages; Active PFC improves voltage stability and delivers environmentally-friendlier power;Dedicated Power Circuitry: Delivers safer, more reliable output to your system's delicate components. Includes dedicated voltage outputs, triple +12V output circuits, voltage feedback circuitry, and tighter ?3% regulation for improved system stability;ATX12V v2.2 compliant; backward compatible with all ATX12V systems;Three +12V output circuits provide maximum stable power for the CPU independently of the other peripherals;Accurate power rating allows Neo HE to deliver its full rated power, 24 hours a day rated at 50?C;PCI Express graphics card power connector;Low-speed 80mm fan delivers whisper-quiet cooling and ensures quiet operation by varying fan speed in response to load and conditions;SATA connectors for your Serial ATA drives.

Customer Reviews

Great Power Supply
So far this PS has worked great. I purchased it mainly because I was interested in having a modular power supply, which this is. (In case some don't know, everything besides the main power connector is able to unplug, so if you don't use some of the different connectors, you don't have to tie them up and find a place to put them in the case, they just aren't attached, therefore creating less clutter).

Before this, I had a Antec EarthWatts 500 PS. Only reason I grabbed this, was Amazon had a great price, and I wanted to try out the modular connectors like I mentioned before. No problems whatsoever with this or the other Antec I had. This is a 430 Watt supply, and I power a BFG 8800 GT OC, Q6600, 1TB Seagate HD just fine! Very happy with it, and it is very quiet, and does a great job.

random shutdowns
After installing this PS my systems suffered constant random shutdowns. System would not power back up until briefly removing AC from the PS. From what I've read this appears to be an ongoing problem with the Antec NEO HE series for at least a couple years. It is evidently still not fixed.

Returned and ordered the Corsair HX520 instead.

A Solid Eco Friendly Power Supply
I bought this to replace a 420 watt PS that died while I was awzy from home for a week. I confirmed the diagnosis of dead PS by swapping in an old 500 watt PS before I ordered. The unit was ordered on Thursday evening and arrived Tuesday afternoon! (Standard Shipping!)

I like the modular cables with their mesh wrapping. Very neat. The PC was drawing 7 watts with the old PS when off and 5 watts with the Antec Neo. Power draw while running with the new unit varied between 105-150 watts compared to 150-175 watts with the old PS reflecting the higher efficiency of the Neo. The Neo is also whisper quiet.

Cons: None so far.
