Antec High Current Gamer HCG-520M 520W Power Supply Review

Unboxing the power supply

The
HCG-520M power supply comes supplied in a sturdy cardboard box, not unlike most
Antec products. The design is colorful, mainly focused on promoting the primary
features of the power supply.

Detailed
feature descriptions and the number of the connectors that this power supply
offers may be found at the rear side of the box.

There
hardly is anything supplied with the HCG-520M, except from the basics. There is
only an A/C power supply cable, mounting screws and a very basic product
overview leaflet. As this unit is partially modular, there are also four cables
supplied along with the unit.

While the
cables of the HCG-520M look like any other ordinary sleeved cable, Antec
improved their appearance by using half black-half colored cables for all of
the voltage lines, an original and efficient modification. The HCG-520M offers
two 8 pin PCI-E connectors, 5 SATA connectors, 4 Molex connectors and a single
floppy connector.
