HCG-520M POWER SUPPLY

ELITE POWER MEETS UNRIVALED PERFORMANCE

Antec’s HCG M power supplies are the perfect combination of power and efficiency. The HCG M features special heavy-duty High Current connectors and cabling that supply extreme levels of power, and superb efficiency thanks to 80 PLUS® Bronze certification and Active PFC. Highest-quality connectors, Japanese-brand capacitors, and a quiet 135 mm double ball bearing fan complete the package. The HCG-520M features High Current Cable Management and 10-pin modular connectors. If loads of power, High Current engineering and extreme efficiency are what you’re after, the HCG M is the PSU for you.

STANDARDS AND FEATURES

The connectors and power specifications of the HCG-520M PSU are all compatible with ATX12V v2.32 and EPS12V v2.92 specifications. The HCG-520M features Universal Input, which automatically senses when you connect the power supply to any AC power source between 100 - 240V without setting a voltage switch. This power supply also features Active Power Factor Correction (PFC), which improves the power factor value of the power supply by altering the input current wave shape, helping to power transmission across the grid.

SYSTEM PROTECTION

A variety of industrial-grade safety circuitry will help protect your computer: Over Current Protection (OCP), Over Voltage Protection (OVP), Under Voltage Protection (UVP), Short Circuit Protection (SCP), Over Power Protection (OPP) and Surge & Inrush Protection (SIP). Sometimes the PSU will “latch” into a protected state. You will need to power off the PSU and clear the fault before it will function again. There are no user-replaceable fuses in your HCG-520M.

HCG-520M specifications

The Antec HCG-520M power supply is a testament to quality and performance in the increasingly competitive PSU market. Designed for gamers and PC enthusiasts alike, this modular power supply delivers 520 watts of power, making it an excellent choice for mid-range builds and even some high-performance systems.

One of the standout features of the HCG-520M is its 80 PLUS Bronze certification, which guarantees up to 88% efficiency at typical loads. This ensures that users can enjoy a reliable performance while keeping energy consumption and heat generation low. With such efficiency, users can feel good about their environmental impact while also lowering their electricity bills.

The HCG-520M also features a fully modular design, which allows users to connect only the cables they need for their specific setup. This is particularly beneficial for cable management, as it helps minimize clutter within the case and enhances airflow, improving thermal performance.

Antec has equipped the HCG-520M with high-quality Japanese capacitors, which are known for their reliability and longevity. These capacitors help ensure stable power delivery to the system, even under heavy load conditions, ultimately contributing to the overall integrity and performance of the PC.

The advanced cooling technology of the HCG-520M is another highlight. It is equipped with a 120mm silent fan that utilizes a unique fan control technology to adjust its speed based on thermal demands. This results in low noise levels during operation, making it an ideal choice for quiet gaming or multimedia setups.

Additionally, the HCG-520M supports a range of protection features, including over-voltage protection, under-voltage protection, short circuit protection, and over-temperature protection. These safety mechanisms shield the system from potential electrical issues and contribute to the longevity of the hardware components.

With dimensions of 150mm x 160mm x 86mm, the HCG-520M is compact and designed to fit into most ATX cases without any trouble. All these features come together to make the Antec HCG-520M a reliable power solution for modern PC systems, ensuring users get the performance they need without compromising on quality or efficiency.
