HCG-750 POWER SUPPLY

HIGH CURRENT POWER, LOW COST POWER SUPPLY

Making quad rail power and highly advanced power supply design available at a popular wattage, the HCG-750 features special High Current connectors and heavy-duty cabling, earning it NVIDIA® SLI™- Ready and ATI™ CrossFire™ certifications. At the same time the HCG-750 is also 80 PLUS® Bronze certified for efficiency, and features active PFC with a swift, quiet 135 mm double ball bearing fan so you know you’re getting not only High Current, but also high efficiency and excellent cooling. If loads of power, High Current engineering and exceptional efficiency are what you’re after, the HCG-750 is the perfect PSU for you.

STANDARDS AND FEATURES

The connectors and power specifications of the HCG-750 PSU are all compatible with ATX12V v2.3 and EPS12V v2.91 specifications. The HCG-750 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 (Active 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: OTP (Over Thermal Protection), OVP (Over Voltage Protection), SCP (Short Circuit Protection), OPP (Over Power Protection), and OCP (Over Current Protection). 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-750.

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-750 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.
