Antec Neo Eco 620c Power Supply Unit Review

Antec Neo Eco 620c Power Supply Unit Review

Antec has a line of power supplies known as Neo Eco, which keeps getting new additions to the series. One of their more recent releases is the Neo Eco C series which has three models with capacities of 450, 520 and 620 watts.

Overview

We’ve got the most powerful one of the lot–the 620, which is 80Plus Bronze certified and according to Antec should be at least 87% efficient. The PSU’s aren’t modular, but are decently priced at about 6 Grand on Amazon

The 620C is a single-rail PSU. The 12V cables can supply a maximum of 48A or 576 watts. There is a 120mm fan with double ball bearings for silent functioning. This unit has six molex connectors and two 6/8-pin PEG connectors. Other units in this category seem to gave another PEG connector, but running two high-end graphics card with just a 620 watt power supply isn’t the best idea.

Conclusion

DSC_0042

The Antec Neo Eco 620C is a good power supply unit as it works fine with maximum capacity and keeps good voltage. In terms of efficiency it does well for a 80Plus PSU. With low loads you cannot hear the unit, but with higher loads it is decently loud. Since the unit is modular, it is slightly more expensive.
