Make sure you run firmware update on your PSU, ensuring cable is attached during the firmare update so the EDID information in the cable is updated.

Thanks for that warning, I've never updated firmware on a PSU so need to do some reading

I've never heard of this either.

That's a new one to me too. Why on earth does a psu need a firmware update?

There doesn't seem to be any downloads available on Antec's website for this PSU other than manuals and flyers?

What? There is no firmware updates for our PSU - since when did PSUs get firmware??

Everything requires a firmware update these days. Back in my day things shipped from the factory in working order
