Dead: Antec NEO ECO 620C 620W PSU $40 AR FS @ Newegg Shell Shocker

[Nohr]

Looks like a good quality PSU for only $40. I think I'll get one to replace my aging Thermaltake 500W.

Newegg Shell Shocker: $54.99 - $15 MIR = $39.99 shipped.

+3.3V@24A
+5V@24A
+12V@48A
-12V@0.8A
+5VSB@2.5A

also... doesn't come with a power cord D:
lol

I just might have to pick me up one of these... as a spare... i can always use a spare

I don't see any reviews on the reputable power supply review sites. Not buying a PSU till I can tell how much ripple it has or how it does under true loads.

This user review at Guru3D forums is very indepth.

Nice find, looks like a proper PSU review.

$90 shipped with a combo deal on a six hundred case... very nice rig...

It is a Seasonic built unit based on the S12-II "Bronze" but not rated Bronze. It has 48A +12v. For today only, this is the best thing money can buy for the price.

I've been eying this deal all week. I'm in need of a PSU, and I was initially going to buy this Corsair, which would have come to ~$59-60 after rebate, promo code and Bing CB, which is a pretty good deal in itself, especially for a Corsair, but this Antec deal is much better. I'm pretty sure that both units are built by Seasonic, and they have similar specs, but the Antec is a third cheaper. In for 1.

So tempting but my luck with Antec PSU's has been awful

Don't forget the Free shipping w/ promo code 369FS.

It's always funny when people pick PSU based on ripple, not realizing the loads it is powering (when a modern PC CPU and GPU with rapid and large power state changes) themselves cause far more ripple than any branded PSU does.


There is an ATX spec for a reason. Any PSU that remains in-spec is fine, if your components can't handle it the fault is the component not the PSU and that includes overclocking. However there is an argument to be made that a PSU with lower ripple may have other inherent design benefits which contribute to longevity or success in sub-optimal operating conditions (or may not, one piece of data does not in itself imply the other).

There are PSUs that exceed the ATX ripple spec, that is why it is important to look at the rails under a scope.

Here's an example of what was a semi-expensive PSU with a rather large amount (beyond ATX spec) of ripple: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story3&reid=151

Ripple is not a determining factor, however a quality PSU typically has low ripple anyway.

Ended up buying it to replace my loud as hell Silverstone 750w.

Amazing as that review is, it's for the 520C model. Perhaps we can ascertain build quality/standards from that, but the issue should be noted.

That noted, it's a helluva deal, and a decent excuse to squander some bux on a backup... sigh.

Yeah sorry, I forgot to mention the model difference. But it's close enough to get a good idea of what you're buying.

Hopefully it's just a few components that are difference. Power regulators or diodes.

I couldn't resist the case + psu combo... I can think of at least ten people I know who could use it at this price.
