Today for review I have another product from our friends at Antec, it is the Neo HE 500 Watt power supply. The Neo HE has received praise around the world for its excellent performance, high quality and stability, so I can expect this to be an excellent PSU. So let's just jump right into the review...

Neo HE 500

High Efficiency 500W PSU

Neo HE combines the most desired features in PC power supplies with unprecedented efficiency in design. These new power supplies' energy-efficient operation reduces power consumption by up to 20% compared with traditional power supplies, saving users money. Also generating less heat, and enabling cooling with a smaller, slower, quieter fan. Active PFC circuitry further reduces impact on the power infrastructure. The result is cooler, quieter, and more environmentally friendly power.

Features:

AQ5 - 5 year warranty

Highly efficient (up to 85%), one super-silent 80mm fan keeps Neo HE cool; less than 18dBA noise

level.

Advanced Cable Management System improves internal airflow and reduces system clutter by allowing

you to use only the cables you need.

Universal Input with Active PFC: Use anywhere in the world without worrying about input voltages; Active PFC improves voltage stability and delivers environmentally-friendlier power.

Dedicated Power Circuitry: Delivers safer, more reliable output to your system’s delicate components. Includes dedicated voltage outputs, triple +12V output circuits, voltage feedback circuitry, and tighter

±3% regulation for improved system stability.

ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V compliant; backward compatible with all ATX12V v2.01 systems. Special

4+4 pin connector allows multi standard compatibility

Three +12V output circuits provide maximum stable power for the CPU independently of the other

peripherals.

Accurate power rating allows Neo HE to deliver its full rated power, 24 hours a day rated at 50ºC.

Low-speed 80mm fan delivers whisper-quiet cooling and ensures quiet operation by varying fan speed

in response to load and conditions.

SATA connectors for your Serial ATA drives.

Industrial grade protection circuitry prevents damage resulting from short circuits (SCP), under

voltage protection (UVP), power overloads (OPP), excessive current (OCP) and excessive voltages

(OVP).

Approvals: UL, CUL, CE, CB, FCC Class B, TÜV, CCC, C-tick.

MTBF: 80,000 hours

Size: 5.9” (W) x 3.4" (H) x 5.9” (W)
