Antec High Current Gamer 900

Antec HCG-900 900W

Good morrow, good people of the Internet. I'm Oklahoma Wolf, the guy who really puts the "q" in crazy, and I will be your agent of power supply torture for today. Antec is no stranger to this website. Most recently, we took a look at the High Current Pro 1200W unit, and it was one of the best power supplies to hit the market this year. Fortunately, as you can see above, Antec is releasing some other new stuff as well for those of us who cannot afford what amounts to the Bentley of the power supply universe. Today's review is going to be of the new High Current Gamer series, and it will be the top of the line 900 watt model that graces my test bench. This unit is rated as an 80 Plus Bronze model by the ECOS people, which is a bit strange to see here among the Gold units I've been looking at lately. That said, a good design is a good design, and high efficiency is only one small aspect of a good design. At some point, something has to give when you're releasing an affordable power supply. We'll find out on the following pages how this unit performs, and whether or not the Bronze efficiency rating also means bronze age performance as well. In the meantime, let's zoom in on the above box and have us a look-see at some specifications.
