Antec EDGE 750w

As we are used to, their presentations and packaging are very well cared for. On the cover we have an image of the product in question with its certifications. Once we open the bundle we find:

• Antec Edge 750W power supply. Instruction manual. 3 x Anti-vibration rubbers for installation. Power cord. Screws for installation.

The Antec Edge 750W is a power supply with a standard ATX design with dimensions of 86 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm and a weight of 2 kg. Its design is sober since it is completely painted in black and we do not find any special feature. As the most important technical characteristics, we came across the 80 PLUS GOLD certification, which guarantees 92% efficiency, complete modular cable management and a panel design on each of its "bee panel" walls, which effectively helps to improve refrigeration.

On both sides we do not have any remarkable characteristics, while on the reverse we have all the most relevant technical specifications, such as its combined power of two 40A lines with a power of 744W. In the upper area we find a silent 135 mm fan model ONG HUA HA13525H12F-Z self-regulating (PWM) capable of reaching a maximum speed of up to 2300 rpm together with one of the best core manufacturers on the market such as Seasonic.

Antec has not forgotten the protections and is one of the first power sources that includes Lot 6 ErP: 2013 and the industrial level protections against excess current (OCP), Protection against overvoltages (OVP), Protection against Undervoltages (UVP), Short Circuit Protection (SCP), Surge Protection (OPP), Over Temperature Protection (OTP), Surge Protection and Current Shutdown (SIP) and No Load Operation (NLO).

The cabling system is modular, with quality moldable cables. The wiring set consists of:

• 1 x 20 + 4pin1 x 4 + 4pin 12v1 x 8 pin EPS12V9 x SATA1 x FDD6 x 4 pin Molex6 x 6 + 2pin PCI-E

Test bench and tests

TESTING BENCH
Processor:	Intel i7-4790k
Base plate:	Asus Sabertooth Mark 2.
Memory:	G.Skills Trident X 2400 Mhz.
Heatsink	Heatsink as standard.
HDD	Samsung 840 EVO.
Graphic card	Asus GTX 780 Direct CU II.
Power supply	Antec TruePower Classic 650W.

To check at what level our power supply works, we are going to check the energy consumption of its voltages with an Asus GTX780 Direct CU II graphic, with a fourth-generation Intel Haswell i7- 4790k processor over another high-performance source such as the Antec HCG -850W.

Final words and conclusion

---

The Antec Edge 750W is a power supply with excellent finishes and design (Note: it incorporates a bee panel on all its sides). We are very struck by the excellence and balance of its ensemble: Seasonic core, Japanese capacitors, very quiet, modular wiring and high efficiency. Antec has loudness in mind in this series including three silent blocks to dampen the possible vibration of the power source. power noise in the box, among them we find two black and one red that gives it a more "sporty" touch. As we have commented during the analysis, a fairly silent 135mm Ong Hua fan, when the source has a load greater than 500 watts, is hardly revolutionized, this data speaks well of the quality of the components used and the good fan it incorporates. In addition, it has LEDs that give a more aggressive touch.I would also like to highlight the quality of the modular wiring that is excellent. All but the 24-pin (MB) main cable are flat. This design allows us to improve routing within the computer. We have verified that the results offered by this unit are outstanding in terms of performance, design and capacity. Without a doubt, the Antec Edge 750W is focused on enthusiastic users or need the best "guarantee" for their "Gamer" equipment. I see it as an ideal option for teams with two graphics cards in SLI or Crossfire and a reduced budget of 100 to 120 euros.

ADVANTAGE	DISADVANTAGES
+ AESTHETICS	- IT IS NOT MODULAR.
+ SILENT 12 CM FAN.
+ VERY STABLE.
+ 80 PLUS GOLD.
+ SLI OR CROSSFIRE CAN BE MOUNTED.
+ 5 YEARS WARRANTY.
