The Antec TruePower New 650W Supply is a great design which delivers stable, tightly regulated power for the demanding enthusiast user.
On a performance level the unit is well balanced throughout with voltage regulation and efficiency particularly strong selling points. Ripple results are also excellent, especially via the 12V output. Noise levels and cooling proficiency are finely tuned with Antec sacrificing a little noise to keep temperatures only 8c above ambient when under full load. In the real world, this unit managed to power two 6870's in Crossfire X with an Intel 980x at the heart of the system. We can't see most people needing more than this.
The kicker is the price point, at only £85 inc vat it is a solid purchase for a performance enthusiast system without inflicting pain on the bank account. The only negative we could mention would be that some people may find the styling a little bland, but there is nothing to fault technically.
Antec offer a 5 year warranty with this unit and the fact there are no inherent weaknesses means this should be at the top of your shortlist.
KitGuru says: Efficient, reasonable pricing and stable power.
Quality product, good price too. I never pay under £100 normally for a PSU, but this is a decent price for what you get. nice to see the real world system info at the end, I never know what ill get out of it by figures.
I actually use one of their older supplies in my media center at home, ive had it now for 5 years and never a single crash. I really rate these guys.
A little more expensive than most, but seems worth it.
I almost bought this a few months ago but went for the XFX 650W instead.
Nice one, good product from Antec, although this range is all good.
Almost bought their 750 W unit but went for the corsair 750 instead. good range this thought.
This might be ideal for me. price isnt bad and more than enough power for my system and future upgrade in jan.
I like their products, cases and PSUs are some of the best on the market.
I hate to be picky, but shouldn’t the following read Antec PSU 🙂
“The XFX PSU handled the Cross loading tests without a problem and we experienced no issues.”
” We measured this AC signal amplitude to see how closely the XFX unit complied with the ATX standard.”
