Antec has established itself as a major player in the computer industry largely because of the great success they have had with their very well received gaming cases such as the 1200, 182 and the Sonata to name just a few. Antec's new line of power supplies named the "Signature Series" is the culmination of re-designing and listening to the consumer to come up with a power supply that will provide almost unheard of rail stability and near silent operating conditions even under load.
So come on along as we test the Antec Signature SG650 power supply with our new power supply testing equipment and perhaps we can learn something along the way ourselves.
80 PLUS® Bronze Certified - 82% or more efficiency at 20%, 50%, and 100% load
DC to DC Voltage Regulator Modules ensure supreme system stability
80 mm cooling fan uses Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for whisper-quiet operation
Highest quality Japanese fan and capacitors ensure long-term reliability
Dual density PC board layout provides better airflow, reduces electrical noise, and allows heavier components
Advanced hybrid cable management improves airflow and reduces clutter
Universal Input and Active PFC allow the Signature 650 to operate efficiently on any power grid in the world

The Pinnacle of Power
Designed to appeal to system builders looking for a truly premium power supply, the Signature 650 boasts many cutting-edge features, several of which have never before been offered in a consumer power supply. The Signature 650 features DC to DC voltage regulator modules which ensure greater system stability, and an 80mm Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) fan which can run up to 50% quieter than standard fans. Not only does the Signature 650 deliver the latest in stability, reliability, and quiet cooling, it also passes 80 PLUS® Bronze certification, a rare distinction in energy efficiency attained by very few other power supplies.
