Antec's latest products!

Seasonic are one of what I would consider the tier 1 OEM PSU manufacturers for desktop PC's.
There are three tier one manufacturers in my opinion.

Flextronic
Seasonic
Delta

Then after that there are quite a few tier two OEM manufacturers.
CWT fall into this category in my opinion.

I thought Flextronics was a CEM not a OEM?

AAARRGGGHHH!!!

I've just bought a HX850 from the MM, why did these not come out sooner

This doesn't fill me with confidence, hope my HX850 is stable for a good number of years!!

Ive got one, had it for 2 years and its been ok, I did have a bit of coil whine on my old Antec case however ill put that down to low airflow.

Antec uses Seasonic, Delta, and Flextronic

Delta on the HCP series. Ohhhh yeah.

They know their stuff.

May consider one of these as a replacement for my aging TX 750.

What are Antec's warranty service like?

These are seasonic by the way. I thought I confirmed that but apparently not.

So these are not Delta like stated here?
Also do these work in fanless mode?

The general consensus is that it's excellent

Is it a retailer return (OcUK) or do you have to ship the things halfway around the world?

Ace Modder · 13 Sep 2013 at 16:25

You can return to OcUK for the lifetime of the warranty, or you can ship directly to Antec in Holland, if you dont want to do that you can ship it to myself in the UK. I can handle it for you.

Hyburnate · 13 Sep 2013 at 16:27

That's a sweet little touch about shipping it to you.

That website is wrong. They are 100% Seasonic.

This is the email I got at 1am this morning from our Antec product manager in Asia who works with the OEM factories and develops our PSU ranges. (of course his native language is not English, so excuse the grammar)

TP-C is OEM from Seasonic.
By the way, I really could not understand why customers always want to ask this.
Is that really important? No matter who is the OEM manufacture. Customer
is buying the product with Antec brand and service. I believe that will be the
most important point. I hope your customer will happy with the answer,
because we really have worked hard with Seasonic. I believe customer will happy with the build quality & nice components and 5 years warranty term. Thanks!

I have asked if they run fanless at low load, but Im guess not, as its not stated in the sale kit, but I will confirm once I have a final answer.

I thought Enermax were tier 1 also?

Enermax are on par with Seasonic, tell your silly Product Manager that a low quality OEM will not protect your components if it goes bang whereas a good quality one will. Antec will only replace the PSU not the components hence why we want good quality OEM's which Seasonic are.

Ace Modder · 13 Sep 2013 at 16:45

Enermax are very good products too. Forgot about them.

Don`t they make Psus for Dell?

Maybe, not sure. I know they also make the AXi Corsair series which are decent units.
Much better than the old AX series, the AX series suffered with a clicking noise, very much similiar to a group of crickets at sunset in summer.

Off Topic: but is it possible to get a Windowed side panel for the P280(Black). Please say Yes.

Dear Lee,

The fan will always running…We did not add semi-fanless circuit into TP-C,
because it will create a noise when the fan start to run and increase the
fan speed sharply. Thanks!
