AW POWER MEETS UNRIVALED PERFORMANCE

Antec’s HCP-750 unifies raw power with advanced PSU engineering to meet the demands of high performing PCs.
A full-featured, 80 PLUS® Gold-certified unit, the HCP-750 is capable of outputting 99 percent of its rated power on
four +12V rails, ensuring CPU and graphics card compatibility. Exclusive to the High Current series, HCP-750 boasts
High Current heavy-gauge 16 AWG wiring that boosts conductivity, increasing efficiency and improving power
delivery. In addition, a double-layer PCB, onboard DC-to-DC converters and Active Power Factor Correction (PFC)
provide substantial voltage stability.

S

TANDARDS AND FEATURES

The connectors and power specifications of the HCP-750 PSU are all compatible with ATX12V v2.3 and EPS12V
v2.92 specifications. The HCP-750 features Universal Input, which automatically senses when you connect the
power supply to any AC power source between 100 - 240V without setting a voltage switch. This power supply also
features Active Power Factor Correction (PFC), which improves the power factor value of the power supply by
altering the input current wave shape, helping to power transmission across the grid.

S

YSTEM PROTECTION

A variety of industrial-grade safety circuitry will help protect your computer: Over Current Protection (OCP), Over
Voltage Protection (OVP), Short Circuit Protection (SCP), Over Power Protection (OPP) and Over Temperature
Protection (OTP). Sometimes the PSU will “latch” into a protected state. You will need to power off the PSU and
clear the fault before it will function again. There are no user-replaceable fuses in your HCP-750.

PECIAL QUIET COMPUTING™ PULSE WIDTH MODULATION

A PWM fan can spin much more slowly and be quieter than a voltage-controlled fan. The PSU uses a PWM fan that
can spin as slow as 260 RPM or as fast as 2600 RPM, depending on load and ambient temperature. The PSU will
vary the fan speed depending on the load of your computer and should be nearly inaudible when your computer is
idling. The location of the PSU fan also helps to reduce the sound emitted by your computer.

80 PLUS® C

80 PLUS® certification is the most widely recognized
independent standard in power supply efficiency. An 80
PLUS® certified power supply uses less energy and
generates less heat to stay cooler, run quieter and last
longer. The HCP-750 has been 80 PLUS® Gold certified
to be at least 87% efficient at a wide range of operating
loads; this will lower your operating costs and help
protect the environment.

ERTIFICATION

NVIDIA™ SLI™-R

Antec’s HCP-750 is NVIDIA™ SLI™-Ready and ATI CrossFireX™ certified for use with multiple high-end graphics
cards for superior parallel graphics processing.

NTELLIGENT HYBRID CABLE MANAGEMENT

The HCP-750 uses Intelligent Hybrid Cable Management. Cables that are important or mandatory are permanently
connected to the PSU for the highest quality power delivery. There are modular jacks on the back of the PSU to
add additional cables as needed. Using only the cables you need will reduce clutter and improve airflow inside your
case. For the list of connected and optional cables, see Table 3.

M

ODULAR CABLE JACKS

There are three 5-pin black jacks and five 10-pin red jacks on the back of your HCP-750 PSU. These jacks are for the
optional cables that come with your power supply. A modular 10-pin connector system allows you plug 5-pin
connectors into the 10-pin jacks if you run out of 5-pin jacks.

+12 V

The HCP-750 uses four separate +12 volt power rails. Different connectors are hooked up to separate circuits to aid
in the balanced distribution of power between devices in your computer. The +12V rails have been assigned to
different connectors, as shown in Table 2, to prevent voltage sags in one device due to sudden demands for power
by another device.
