80PLUS® CERTIFICATION

80 PLUS® certification is the most widely recognized independent standard in power supply efficiency. An 80 PLUS® certified power supply uses less energy and generates less heat to stay cooler, run quieter and last longer. The HCG-520M has been 80 PLUS® Bronze certified to be at least 82% efficient at a wide range of operating loads; this will lower your operating costs and help protect the environment.

INTELLIGENT HYBRID CABLE MANAGEMENT

The HCG-520M uses Intelligent Hybrid Cable Management. Cables that are important or mandatory are permanently connected to the PSU for the highest quality power delivery. There are modular jacks on the back of the PSU to add additional cables as needed. Using only the cables you need will reduce clutter and improve airflow inside your case. For the list of connected and optional cables, see table 2.

MODULAR CABLE JACKS

There are two 5-pin black jacks and four 10-pin red jacks on the back of your HCG-520M PSU. These jacks are for the optional cables that come with your power supply. A modular 10-pin connector system allows you plug 5-pin connectors into the 10-pin jacks if you run out of 5-pin jacks.
