Antec expands its range of power supplies with a new High Current Gamer Extreme series. The PSU line is now available starting at 179 Euros for an 850W model and runs upwards to 209 Euros for the 1000W model.

The High Current Gamer Extreme features a fully-modular cable management system which enables users to use only the cables which are needed, greatly simplifying installation and helps clear out excess cables that can obstruct and reduce airflow. The whisper-quiet, fluid dynamic bearing 135 mm fan provides high airflow with durability and longevity. The Zero RPM fan mode further ensures a longer-lasting and quieter system, by using thermal sensors to activate the fan only when you need it.

Equipped with features that ensure peak performance for the enthusiast and gaming-oriented segment, the High Current Gamer Extreme series also brings a new level of visual appeal to PC builds with a distinguished, aluminum outer casing styled with an elegant rose gold finish. A bevy of features, from the 80 PLUS Gold rating, to the fully-modular cabling and 100% Japanese capacitors, make the HCG Extreme a great choice for a reliable and efficient PC system for gamers and professionals. The HCG Extreme pushes the standard for excellence with the circuit shield suite of industrial protections and is backed by a 10-year warranty.

Features:

100% top-grade Japanese capacitors for clean DC-DC performance
80 PLUS Gold certified－Up to 92% efficiency, to reduce your electricity bill
10-year warranty and lifetime global support
100% Modular cable management -Improves airflow and reduces clutter
Zero RPM mode, which uses thermal sensors to activate the fan only when you need it.
6x PCI-E connectors (850w model) and 8 x PCI-E connectors (1000w model) for multiple GPU support
Delivers non-stop industrial class performance for high-end computer systems at up to 50°C ambient.

If its not GaN-based, there's really nothing to see. It's old, inefficient tech.

Call me when there's 1000W GaN PSUs for under 250$. You'll buy one and it will last forever for any type of build you need.

That name though... "High Current" just makes me think of PSU voltage ripple effect.

Where is the new model of my 2x Antec HCP 1300w? The best is the "sli" connection to use 2 at the same time. Without the ugly adapter.

Good PSU manufacturer - check.
The color scheme matches Noctua - check.
Minimalistic - check.
Looks like a great product to me.

Everybody and their mothers are naming stuff as "Gamer" tagged. From Chairs to PSU's. Must be good if there's a gamer tag on it? no not really.

When i hear gaming on psu's my mind goea to playfull curents! On the other hand antec is a very reputal brand on psus and the 10 year warranty is reasuring; i just hope they will stop calling everything gaming! And well the rgb led craze also but not an issue here!

Don't know who makes it, but if its so good/efficient, it should have made platinum.
At least in that price range..
