Just like with the EarthWatts Gold Pro line Seasonic was also tasked by Antec with the manufacturing of the HCG Gold line and so it's no surprise that there are quite a few similarities between them (specs-wise). What really matters however is...
The HCG850 should receive a higher rating. However, we had two failures during our protection feature testing, forcing us to question some of Antec's implementation decisions. If the company resolves this power supply's issues, we'll revise our outcom...

It was expected for Antec to release a model around the same power output as the old HCG-900W but what i didn't really expect was for that model to be almost identical to the HCG-750M which we reviewed roughly two weeks ago. Of course the 80 Plus Bronze e...

With great quality components, and DC-to-DC topology, it's unlikely you'll suffer from excess heat, noise, or coil whine from this unit, which is obviously what we all want from a power supply. 850W isn't enough power for my needs, but for most high-end G...

If there's one thing that's frustrating in the PC building community, it's seeing someone put together a decent system build, but then go cheap on the power supply. Despite its rather mundane function, a strong power supply is not only an investment it's...

This is a quality power supply, there is no doubting that. Whether you should buy one though all comes down to your personal requirements. If you were to ask me if I was to recommend this power supply for an office computer, I would answer no. The efficie...

Poor transient response at 3.3V, Noisy under high loads, Bulky ATX, EPS, and PCIe cables, Short distance between peripheral connectors, 5VSB efficiency should be higher, OPP and 5VSB OCP triggering points should be lower

While it isn't the very best value 850W 80 Plus Gold power supply on the market, the Antec HCG Gold 850W is certainly not overpriced. The build quality inside and out is high, the cable selection is sensible and generous, and it boasts full modularity as...

At this price range, you're hardly short of options for great power supplies. That being said, the Antec HCG850 is ticking all the right boxes. I think the main selling point, aside from the performance, is the compact and stylish design. It's sure to loo...
