HCG-620
Antec's High Current power supplies are the perfect PSU combination of power and efficiency. The
High Current Gamer features a high-power +12V rail and special heavy-duty High Current connectors
and cabling that supply extreme levels of power, and also superb efficiency thanks to 80 PLUS®
BRONZE certification and Active PFC. Highest-quality gold-plated connectors, Japanese-brand
capacitors and quiet 135 mm double ball bearing fans complete the package. If loads of power, High
Current engineering and extreme efficiency are what you're after, the High Current Gamer is the PSU
for you.
STANDARDS AND FEATURES
The connectors and power specifications of the HCG-620 PSU are all compatible with ATX12V v2.32
and EPS12V v2.92 specifications. The HCG-620 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), Surge & Inrush Protection (SIP) and Brown-Out Protection (BOP).
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-620.

80 PLUS® 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-620 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.

INSTALLATION
Install the PSU into either the top or bottom of your case with the four screws provided. Refer to your
case manual if you are unsure where the power supply should be installed.
Connect the 24-pin main power connector to your motherboard.
Connect the 8-pin or 4+4-pin connector for the CPU. If your motherboard has an 8-pin socket with a
cover on some of the openings, we recommend that you remove the cover and use the 8-pin
connector.
Note: Please also refer to your motherboards manual for any special instructions.
