PRESS RELEASE

Fremont, California – February 6, 2012 – Antec, Inc., the global leader in high-performance computer components, announces High Current Gamer M series, a mid-range wattage class of Hybrid Modular power supplies. The High Current Gamer M series is an extension of the HCG PSU line issued in late 2010 but features hybrid modularity, allowing for cleaner systems by reducing cable clutter behind the motherboard.

Antec‘s new desktop PSU series provides quiet, efficient power in 400W, 520W, and 620W models accommodating casual gamers, home office and corporate consumers. The High Current Gamer M Series is the perfect combination of power and cabling that supply extreme levels of power and superb efficiency.

Maximum Efficiency:- As one of industry’s mainstream 80 PLUS® Bronze certified PSU , the High Current Gamer M series offers an ideal combination of industry-leading reliability, guaranteed continuous power and up to 87% energy efficiency compared to prior models to help reduce electric bills.

Whisper Quiet:- Simple 135mm two ball-bearing fan controlled by Antec’s renowned Thermal Manager and CircuitShield operates with minimal noise even at full load.

Premium Components:- High Current Gamer M employs 4 fully-protected High Current +12V rails with high load capabilities to ensure maximum CPU and GPU compatibility. It’s designed with 100% Japanese capacitors, ensuring maximum DC stability and regulation. It also offers stealth wires for minimal visibility inside the chassis and a 10-pin modular socket for High Current Flexibility.

Safety Precautions– Patented CircuitShield includes voltage, current, power, under voltage, and short circuit protection which automatically shuts down the PSU to prevent further system damage.

All HCG-M power supplies are covered by an Antec five-year parts & labour warranty.

“Antec has succeeded with providing consumers with quiet and efficient power supplies to choose from,” said Mafalda Cogliani, Global Marketing Director at Antec. “And now we want to provide the same type of power and convenience via hybrid modularity power supply that will help with energy reduction.”
