When it comes to PSUs, for years now the ATX unit has taken centre stage with little thought going into producing a different form factor. However, Antec have changed all this and decided that it is time for a revamp. Their new form factor, christened...
The performance of the CP-850 is really first rate with some top notch rail voltages that rarely even exceed the 1% limit let alone get anywhere near to failing. The power consumption is a little higher than it could be but looking at the bigger pictu...

The PSU is in my honest opinion THE most important component in a PC. Its the beating heart that every bit of hardware in a computer relies on. Finding a high quality, quiet and dependable supply is the holy grail of any PC build. Antec have sent the...

Ever since the original ATX design standards were released back in 1995, power supplies have gone through a series of modifications to finally arrive at something what youd be familiar with, usually a 12cm or 14cm fan beneath the PSU. That one fan has...
A solid design and quiet to boot, the few who can use it will appreciate it...

With the lure of dual graphics cards and wonderfully overclocked quad core processors, we understand the need for more efficient power supplies that offer more horsepower, particularly those in the 800W range. Units in this segment are generally strong...

Antec has always been known for making very reliable power supplies. They have done something a little interesting with their CP-Series power supplies though. They are designed differently so they are larger than most power supplies, which means th...

Video Review: The Antec P183 Case is a mid-tower product with lots of drives, dust filers, two 120mm fans (more can be installed), sound dampening design and much more. The Antec CP-850 850W PSU is based on the new CPX form factor, comes with a PWM 120mm fan and dual printed circuit boards. It will power a hardcore multiple video card gaming system with ease. Both of the products are sold separately but they make a killer combo! Watch the video to find out more...

The CP-850 is 1.2" too tall to fit into all but three of Antecs top cases, so its popularity has to be be unnaturally limited. But the electrical and acoustic performance is superlative, especially in those cases, and it comes at an amazingly low pric...
The Antec CP-850 is a superlative power supply by almost any standard. Its electrical performance is up at the level of its more expensive brethren, the Signature 650 and 850, and Seasonics flagship, the M12D-850: Voltage regulation is extremely tigh...

The Antec CP-850 is a very nice power supply but without one of Antec’s new cases to install it in, you may be looking at obtaining a new case or modifying your present case with a pair of tin-snips. The CP-850 was very quite to the point it could n...

Instead of releasing a longer 850 W power supply, Antec decided to build a taller unit. Because of it is bigger, CP-850 only fits a few cases from Antec (Twelve Hundred, P183 and P193). Is it a better solution that regular-sized units? Let’s see.Antec...
Impressive, outstanding, phenomenal, fantastic. These are some of the adjectives we have for this power supply and yet cannot fully describe it. This was the first power supply we’ve seen achieving efficiency above 90% almost all the time, peaking 9...

As you saw, I had my system loaded up and still the CP-850 was able to take on what I could give it in stride. It was able to supply power easily to my 6 HDDs, CPU, 4870 X2 OC'd, and everything else I had plugged into it and it did not give off a soun...

Antec has made a bold move in releasing their own power supply form factor standard, and it goes without saying that the battle will be an uphill one for them. After all, how many bajillions of ATX cases are out there that can't take a CPX sized unit?...
