Antec HCG-620M any good?

[mattoxx]

Hi guys. Is Antec HCG-620M reliable PSU. Planning upgrade for rig in my signature

 

[lee32uk]

Yes it is a good unit (Made by Seasonic).

This EVGA G2 650W is better though for the same sort of price.

YOUR BASKET
1 x EVGA Supernova G2 650W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply £74.99
Total : £84.59 (includes shipping : £8.00 Ex.VAT).

Or the EVGA GS 650w which is also a Seasonic built unit. Both are fully modular and gold rated unlike the Antec which is only semi modular and bronze rated.

1 x EVGA Supernova GS 650W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply £76.99

Ehm, why would you get the GS when the G2 is cheaper and better?

 

[pastymuncher]

Why the ?

It was just another suggestion if he preferred a Seasonic built unit. Argueably one is no better than the other. Both of them are high quality units.

 

[dacads]

I would go with the G2 as it has a 7 year warranty

 

[ShivP]

I don't know why the lol, just put it in there because why not

 

[mattoxx]

That is all nice, but Antec was for £34 delivered, what is half of the price of what was here recommended, so I ordered it

 

[pastymuncher]

You never said anything about the price though. Is that brand new? The first thing that jumps into my head is "what's wrong with it"? That's almost half price.

 

[mattoxx]

Yeah my bad not to mention price. It was amazon offer(sold by Amazon), brand new, now is back to £72.

The G2 is SuperFlower made, whilst good, not quite as good as a Seasonic unit. So if it was toss up between the GS and G2, the GS (seasonic made) wins every day of the week for me.

But get the HCG-620M which is also Seasonic built and then you help put food on the table for my kids!

Only joking, any Seasonic built unit is pretty much the best of the best, get whichever you want.

Yes were brand new at Amazon, I will be honest Amazon made a pricing error on their website - I got it rectified, but a lot of customers got a great bargain on it

I believe G2 is definitely better than GS, as GS although seasonic is G series based and the G2 is leadex, which is better

90% on that though, not 100

 

[Ace Modder]

either way, he has already bought the Antec unit, so my kids get to fend off starvation for 1 more day

 

[ShivP]

Heh, still a very good PSU and a nice price

The GS is a different platform than the G series according to the link below.

[ShivP]

Ah, may be wrong then

 

[ChugNorris]

The EVGA GS units are based on a new Seasonic platform, Gx I believe it's named. It's an updated version of their G platform. Personally I'd go for a SuperFlower built unit over those, but at £34 the HCG-620M is a steal!
