The Antec High Current Pro 1200W was completely stable during our testing, and while its hold-up times may be just outside of the ATX recommended spec, its performance in our power rail ripple test was very good. It’s also well priced compared to...

The Antec High Current Pro series consists of three PSUs with 750, 850 and 1200W capacity respectively. All three are manufactured by Delta but HCP-1200 uses a completely different design than the other two smaller models. HCP-1200 proves that the use...

The Antec HCP 1200 is certainly a great unit. Compared to the Corsair AX1200 we just reviewed not too long ago, it's efficiency and ripple suppression are just as good. Voltage regulation is just a tad tighter on the AX-1200 and Corsair offers a 7...

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a perfect 1200W power supply in this review. Each of the four tested products has certain downsides. Each of them fails to some extent in keeping one of the auxiliary voltages (+3.3 or +5 volts) stable when the +12V...

Prior to today's launch of the Antec High Current Pro 1200W (HCP-1200), the Corsair AX1200 ruled the roost as the best 1200W unit on the market. After taking in to account the excellent build quality, the outstanding voltage regulation, outstanding...

Das Antec High Current Pro HCP-1200W macht einen sehr guten Job. Es reiht sich in die von uns getesteten 80 Plus Gold zertifizierten Netzteile nahtlos ein. Die Verbrauchswerte sind sehr gut auf ganzer Linie den Tabellen zu entnehmen. Die Spannungen...
