Newegg.com has Antec Neo Eco 620C 620W Power Supply (ATX12V) for $49.99 - $20 rebate = $29.99. Shipping is free. Thanks calistyle

Thanks

Just an FYI. Tried submitting the rebate info and got the follow error "I'm sorry, that offer is not found. Please check the offer number and try again." Followed the directions on the Newegg rebate page so I don't know what's up with that. Hopefully will be fixed soon but I'm not gonna place my order till I know there won't be extra hassle involved in getting the rebate.

Great deal, Thanks

This is a legitimate 600w power supply. Unlike the other trash that people put inside their computers UGH!

I have two of them. Like them a lot. Quiet and reliable. I had an OCZ supply that gave me nothing but problems, all of which went away when I dropped this in.

I also own one. Very nice Seasonic based units. I am always surprised when I see them this cheap. They are very quiet and Ive never had any problems with mine. Definitely worth $30......thats a nobrainer.

Is it crazy to try to fit this psu inside this itx case?
http://slickdeals.net/f/5812714-L...e-Shipping

liam li cases are pure garbage.

also, this PSU has several manufacturers. The seasonic ones are the shit. but you may receive one made by somebody else (and god forbid it's rosewill or other crap)

bottom line, there's no garantee that yours will be made by seasonic if you buy those off-line brands (antec make cases, not PSUs)

Great price(after rebate).In for one.

How do you tell if it is made by Seasonic? Got in on the 520 last year and eventually got my card. Thinking about this one for another spare.

Great deal :)

that's some very useful information. can you share your resources that can confirm your statements?

i just replaced my PS recently so dont need one but for this price will get a spare for when i upgrade my GPU... thanx OP!

Great power supply. Not great rebate. Make sure you send it certified or you might not get your money.

Your wrong.

Nobody listen to this guy. These are great PSUs at a great price. I run nothing but quality units in my machines and I'd gladly put any Antec, Corsair, Seasonic or PSU made by Seasonic in them. Seasonic is widely considered to be one the best manufacturers.

Great PSU. Used it in 3 different builds for 3 different people (mine included) that do multimedia and gaming over the last year, and no problems. Running a slightly overclocked i7-3770k and overclocked Geforce 560 Ti with zero issues.

Congratulations on ruining any potential credibility right there. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. But good troll attempt.

Even further proving you have no credibility or idea what you're talking about.

This PSU has 1 manufacturer. Seasonic.

Do some research next time and quit buying bargain basement BS while acting like you have one iota of expertise.

Your build probably pulls 300w when gaming FYI

Tom's Hardware: Who's Who In Power Supplies, 2013: Brands Vs. Manufacturers

http://www.tomshardware.com/revie...,2913.html

This Antec Neo Eco 620C is made by Seasonic.

Refer to this table:
http://www.realhardtechx.com/inde...age673.htm
Scroll down to almost the bottom then you will see.

This is a decent PSU for gaming rigs. I wish I could get this one. But I have a 520C for $25 already.

Yup, u have no clue what you're talking about.

Can I run two GTX 260 (Nvidia Geforce) with this PSU? I see that it has:

1 PCI-E 6-pin
1 PCI-E 6+2 pin

It looks like the 260 I have has 1 6-pin, but it really looks like 2 x 3-pins :/

Will my 2nd 260 accept the 6+2 pin connector on this PSU?

This guy is a know-nothing.

This PSU is a Seasonic M12 [newegg.com] 620 watts unit with 3 year warranty from Antec instead of 5 years from Seasonic.

Lian Li cases are more than fine. That case is one of the best budget mITX cases on the market.

Hmm for $30 do I need a spare.... decisions decisions...

I have one of these and two of the 550's and they all rock. No problems with Antec rebates.

will this fit on dell inspiron 660

annnnnnnddd cut.

You just lost all credibility.

Fits great

Definitly a troll..

As others have already said he lost all credibility when criticizing Lian Li & then went on to trash what is about the best budget PSU around..

Yes there are better PSU's around, but not for 30 bucks there aren't..

No Power cable comes with this. Btw guys, rebate comes from newegg; so, it will come to your for sure. If not, you all know how to knock the door.

LOL... finally, someone answers the poor guy! Everyone else was so busy feeding the troll, they forgot to address the question... reps, SDRockz...

thanks OP. ordered one. gotta remember to send in rebate before it expires.

anybody else having problems registering for the rebate? says offer is not found.

Well, I don't know. Antec rebate might be bad before, or might be case-by-case. The rebate application for my Antec Neo Eco 520C was sent out on 11/21/2012 and I received the rebate on 12/26/2012. Seems to me lightning fast. But again, might be just my case.

Oh & also.. Even though I am trying to boycott the egg for the crap they pulled on the [H] I still had to bite on this.. I was in need of another PSU so I could test my hand at voiding a PSU warranty & cutom fitting cables for my server so this timing was grat & at 30 bucks for a 620w seasonic.. its way overkill for what I need, but it will do anyway.

Oh, I thought rebate comes from Antec. Sorry. Newegg rebates are very slow recently.

not in my experience. I already got all my black friday newegg rebates, specifically from raidmax cases.

If antec processes the rebates they are equally as quick. The only company that has ultra slow rebates are ones processed through status-now.com, like Coolermaster. Still, by slow I mean about 13 weeks, rarely more.

Regarding antec, I've never not received a rebate and I've installed at least 20 of the 620c and 520c PSUs all with great results. Only negative to these PSUs is they come with no power cord. Otherwise they are by far the best bang for the buck in the PSU market. Hands down.

So what's up with the rebate? It says offer not found on newegg's website

rosewill isn't even a PSU oem supplier... They're just newegg's house brand :shake:

I've read on other thread about Newegg Rebate Server is down or something like that. Newegg rep said IT guys are not working on the weekend, but they will fix it the first thing on Monday morning...

Thanks for the information above, man. How do you deal with Newegg rebates if they are slow? Could you please advise? They all have been showing in processing for a long time. I think they are processed through status-now.com.

Newegg occasionally has cable sales like 20% off and bulk rates. If you are a system builder you may like these.

This kind of deal is why I have around a baker's dozen PSUs New in Box. Some (outdated now) from the good old FAR days. Still hard to resist with this great a bang for the buck. lol

oh okay thanks.

in for 1

You just wait.

These antec rebates have now become lightning fast as mentioned before fyi. I am talking 1 month return, which let's face it, is fast in the rebate world. I wouldn't hesitate if that is holding you back.

Would get if it were modular.

If it was modular then it would be a 60 dollar deal, not a 30 dollar deal..

seriously? Sorry, it just seems very hard to do. Do you have this case and psu? :bounce:

good psu. however, antec is Terrible with handling and honoring your rebates. they still refuse to honor mines from when I purchased this in September. make a copy of all documents including the UPC before sending it in.

Same, would get if its 1k watts platinum certified have a 200 $ msrp.

Got this last time around. rebate went through, and psu is legit

I have this exact power supply in my PC, and it is great. (Of course you really don't know if a PSU is great until several years down the road when it hasn't murdered your components, but still.) Have used Antecs for my PCs 3 times in a row now, and pretty sure I'm now "brand loyal." This is a lower price than I paid in October when I got it. Great deal IMO!

Good cords, easy to hook up, blabla bla.

Someone said it fits great, but I disagree. I have a modular PSU in a similar Lian Li Mini-ITX case (could be the same one you have linked), and it's quite troublesome getting everything in. Of course, I also have a full-sized video card with a Accelero S2 on it. But, even with my PSU being modular, it's still a pain just getting the cables I need fitted in there. It's pressing up against the fan in the front. Hope this helps.

Lian Li cases are good in general. The one I have looks good, but isn't the easiest case to work with. There are some bad Lian Li cases out there (the ones that they just slap their brand sticker on), I've read.

But once everything is done, I have a nice beautiful little beast under my desk. Very small, but very powerful.

The rebate is a simple click and print form from NewEgg.

If you're not buying because you think the rebate is from Antec, it's not. =) Buy it!

my brother gave me his old components and i'm not sure if this psu will be enough.

it a Q9550, evga 790i ultra sli board, 4x 2gb memory, and a gtx 260 core 216. appreciate any assistance!

This PSU should be more than adequate for that setup ;)

thanks!

similar question posed here.
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum...onsumption

This rebate is from Newegg not Antec, which will probably take every bit of 12 weeks, Newegg rebate (rebateaccess) is slow.

Go to newegg.rebateaccess.com and enter the promotion number 46057.

and i get ?

am i doing something wrong ?

You guys think I need a PSU upgrade? Im currently using OCZ StealthXStream OCZ500SXS purchased in 2009. System is:

i5 2500k
4GB x 4
HD7950
1 x SSD
1 x 1TB
1 DVDRW

Junky,

You should be fine with your OCZ500 PSU. But, I make it a habit of replacing my PSU's every two years just to play it safe...especially if my rig is on 24/7. This Antec deal is a great deal and would work well in your system, and best of all, it is made my Seasonic. Can't get much better than that at this price.

I suppose the question is, do you have time to switch out the PSU? If you have the time, then this is a great PSU for the price and would work well in your rig.

Although some people complain about OCZ PSU's, I have never had a problem with them and I have used many of em' [have two OCZ 850 Fully Modular Gold PSU's at the moment].

If you have the time to switch out your PSU, this deal is very hard to beat. Best of all, you have the peace of mind of a new, reliable PSU in your rig.

Hope this helps!

Soar

Is it a good match for a GTX 670 4gb & i7-3770k? I need to replace an Enermax Noisetaker II 485w from the p4 days on this new build

anyone know if the rebate will work for a 2nd unit if i make a 2nd order for my brother under my newegg/shoprunner account and send to his place?

I've got this one right here, should I replace it? http://www.frys.com/product/74981...IN_RSLT_PG

This Antec 620 will provide more than enough power for your set up and the build quality is excellent. BTW, those Enermax PSU's were great power supplies. I remember purchasing and using two units that worked flawlessly for years! I think they were 720 watts if I remember correctly. Normally $199, but picked them up for $80.

Many vendors are requesting that the name and address on the receipt line up with the rebate address and name. Personally, I would not use the same account for a "one rebate per person, address", etc. stipulation.

Corsair is known for making great quality PSU's. Your specific PSU has received outstanding reviews:

http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/ar...ew/1571/11

If your rig is working well with the 500 watt Corsair unit, I wouldn't change it unless you plan on upgrading your rig and it would need more power.

I would also take into consideration these three factors:

1. How long have you been using your present PSU?
2. How many hours per day does your PSU run?
3. Do you have the time/knowledge to switch out the PSU?

For me personally, if my PSU was older than 2 years, was on for 24/7, and I had the time and knowledge to replace the PSU, I would be all over this deal.

Hope this helps!

Soar

For those asking about replacing it. Just order it and have it on hand. This is a good PS. Rep/Thanks OP.

thanks for the info! Like you, I'll put a full size video card in there so I'm not sure I want to save some money by getting this psu and then having to buy a modular one later when I finally get the case and itx mobo.

On a side note for anyone who can help out... Do I need more than 430w (Antec TP3-430) for this:

i5-2500k (not overclocked)
16gb ram
gtx 460 (possibly soon a gtx 660)
3 hd and 1 ssd.

Right now with this set up I have no prob with stability, but I always thought I should have a little more power.

Thanks for the helpful reply soar! I'm currently running on an i3 2100 w/ a gtx 650ti and I just bought the PSUthis month, so I could still return it and get this one if necessary. I have no problems replacing a PSU myself. Its just that maybe the extra wattage my help out in the long run since my PC runs almost 24/7.

Most of the people who are going to buy this 620W Antec power supply do not need a 620W power supply.

Picked one up! Thanks!

I'm buying this for a replacement, I don't really need it right now though. Is there an easy way to test this thing before I send in the rebate?

Glad to see another fan of the Enermax...my 480w was probably the best PSU I've used back then. Solid, never any issues, and very quiet. I'm almost sad to be phasing it out.

Thanks for the reply about this Antec.

This Antec 620 is plenty more than what you truly need, but, the good news is the power is there if you ever decide to upgrade.

Yup, you are right!

You can test it with one of those cheap $15-$20 testers [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Pro...899705003], but to give it a thorough test, you would need equipment that cost thousands of dollars.

Another simple way to test it is throw it in a working rig and see how it works.

No problem...yes, those Enermax's were incredible power supplies and they still make excellent power supplies, but the cost is very, very high and out of my price range.

Here's a list of their new Platimax line:

http://www.enermaxusa.com/psu_platimax.php

Soar

No you do not need tthis power supply. The 430w was enough.

This looks better to me http://www.newegg.com/Product/Pro...6817139027

I've seen other models of that model series that received very good reviews, and they were made with Samxon brand capacitors, a decent brand, while the 620W Antec has cheapo Teapo brand (confirmed -- I bought one, last month). That Antec is identical to some 620W Seasonics that have better, Japanese caps, but reviewers said both tested very well: link [xbitlabs.com]. BTW one good thing about that website's reviews is that they run tests not just with AC wall outlet power but also with battery backup power supplies. Some power supplies max out way, way below their advertised ratings when run with the latter, like 280W for that 620W Seasonic/Antec.

Look for a funny "SS" logo on the transformer (thing wrapped in yellow plastic tape) or read reviews where they show the innards of the power supplies, like those at HardwareSecrets.com, JonnyGuru.com, HardOCP.com, and XbitLabs.com.

Something for you to keep in mind: You may not be able to fit any 3.5" hdds in the case with a full-size graphics card. At least that was the case for me. The most I could get in there was 4 2.5" drives. My system is

i5-2500k
16GB RAM
GTS250
2 2.5" SSDs

I draw about 200W, so 430W PSU would be enough.

In41 TY!

This.

But...

This too.

The thing is, most of us don't need a 620w PSU, however for $30 you may as well get the quality and added headroom. I'd MUCH rather spend $30 for 620w that I don't need than $20 on a 450w that would just work and / or was a cheaper brand.

Likely unless you're running two (powerful) graphics cards or multiple processors, you'll not need anything over 500w.

Can anyone comment on the fan? My current EARTHWATTS 750 watt by Antec is so loud. I can't justify replacing it just for the noise though.

If I buy this, it will be for another system.

I'm on the fence on this, planning to upgrade my psu on Black Friday of this year since I'll be getting a new gpu then too. Should I go get this or wait? I currently have the $17 Corsair 430W CX psu that went on sale back in November. Help...

It depends on what GPU you will get. If it is a mid to high end GPU then you should probably be on the safe side by getting the Antec 620w especially for $30. A high end GPU can eat up >200w of power at full load so having a 430w PSU alongside other components might be stretching your PSU.

Don't own, but note most Newegg reviewers don't seem to think so.

Searching NE reviews for "loud" finds 13 out of 354, of which 8 are actually noise complaints. That's not very many hits compared to more generic units and a little better than the Antec EA750 [newegg.com] in that respect.

:dontknow: Wouldn't expect it to be loud, but it's not a "silent PSU," either - add a hundred Dollar bill at least for one of those.

· If I don't order, "too loud" won't be the reason, expect it's OK.
· If it turns out to be "freakin' loud," as one review complained, I'd wager it's either overloaded, drawing excessively hot air from the case, or defective. Or some combination.

· Read all noise comments with an appreciation of how sensitive you are to noise in the intended environment.

Need 1 for backup.

Will this PS work on my old P4 mother board ? It should but never hertz to ask.

:lol:
I C WUT U DID THAR

Yeah thinking of a 256-bit 2GB GDDR5 but I haven't decided on the brand and model yet. I'm definitely not going to run that with the psu I have now but I'm planning to upgrade my graphics card as well as other things like a new mobo, cpu, and definitely a new psu as well. Would you consider this a HOT price or should I wait on future deals... I really don't have any reason to rush this right now but with the amount of TU's on this deal, maybe I should consider it..?

Im in for 1.
True most people don't need 620W, but for $30 for a great brand, no brainer. Plus a 620W PSU is going to run more efficiently than a lesser one and as a result probably last a bit longer.

My setup is a Q6600 130W CPU OC'd, GTS250 OC'd (power eater, takes 2 PCIE connectors), 4 HDD, and a few other cards and its been running off a 500W Antec PSU for the last 6 years no problem. Im pulling the trigger though because its been whining loud for the last year and probably on its way out.

In for one, not sure how i almost missed this deal, thank's

I did some testing on my system.

Idle is around 105 watts. Re-encoding video with handbrake is about 180 watts. Battlefield 3 is 310 watts.

So my approx 5 year old Antec 430 watt is good enough right? Even though none of the 12V rails is the recommended amps for a GTX 660 it still seems to work fine.

I think I'll save my money for a slick deal on a modular psu...

Assuming your PSU is an 80+ (80% efficient) 430W x .8 = 344W. You are close to maxing out your PSU, and probably putting a lot of stress on it when playing Battlefield. Can it handle the load? Sure, but I wouldnt count on it lasting a long time if you game a lot.

Right now i have a 470w PC Power and Cooling thats a few years old.Everything works fine should i upgrade to the antec 620w ?


asrock z77 pro3
i5 2500k @4.5
4x2 ram
660ti PE (overclocked)
500 hd

oh is that what 80+ means? Is it always 80% or is that the minimum (so it could be 90%?)

hmm, looked up my psu, its 80 Plus Bronze, so its a little better than just 80% but still cutting it close. And I dont know how much its lost in 5 years.

I don't believe that's how it works. It means that if you had a 500w PSU that was 80% efficient, it would draw 625w from the wall, that's assuming you ever had it at max load. A 600w PSU that was 60% efficient would draw 1000w from the wall.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure about this. I think you're fine, what is the rest of your build?

i5 2500k
GTX 460, possibly 660 soon but similar power req
16gb ram
3 hd and 1 ssd

I believe you are correct about the efficiency rating:
http://mindyourdecisions.com/blog...-computer/

So my only real concern is how much has my psu lost in 5 years. Is is more like a 380w now? I have no idea.

Once you've made it out of infant mortality, the enemy is usually capacitor failure. You can inspect the capacitors for swelling or leakage, usually without disassembling the power supply.

Conservative

0.85(310W) = estimated 264W load on PSU.

Derate 430W 10%/year for 5 years --> ~40% derating = ~254W

254W < 264W, replace the PSU.

The Very Conservative version of this derates 20% out the box for head room, then derates per year :)

I don't know anyone that looks at it this way for a home system. Maybe if I had 4 high end GPUs grinding away doing Bitcoin mining 24/7, then I'd specify it that way.

tl;dr It's five years old. Since you're concerned enough to ask, just replace it. Keep the old one for a spare.

I just got this PSU today but where can I file for the rebate? The link for the $20 is gone.

Here - Rebate [newegg.com]

Thanks, I was buying one and then saw that they change the rebate to 10.00, glad to know the old is still up.

Fits just fine, just built that config yesterday. :)

Can you stack the $10 and $20 rebates?

Not unless theres 2 UPC's on the box-- both require original UPC with submission....

Curious what your motivation for the thread crap is, because you have not a clue what you are spewing from your vile mouth.

liam li is fine if you give zero f about sound and airflow in a case.

there are much better PSUs for $40~$50. which i regard much better as i avoid rebates like the plague. this is pretty much a $60 psu for most people (not in this forum, i agree, but still)

I remember reading a couple reviews on this PSU that stated that while it is made by Seasonic, it has lower quality capacitors than the Seasonic branded PSU's, like the S12 that is similar to this one.

Seems I've read that a PSU is most effecient at a certain load. For example, a 400W that's running at 80% (just making up a #), load is more efficient than a 620W PSU that only gets run at 30%, (again, making up a #) load. Also I've read most people over estimate what wattage they need, and while of course it's good to have more than you need, people go way overboard.

Agree with your first sentence. Every power supply has a unique power curve, but the 'average' power supply is usually going to be most efficient around the 50% load range (310W in this case) and be less efficient during low or at max usage. I feel my point is valid because it is quite likely you will be using around 300W (depending on setup) and if you are maxing out a power supply it is going to run less efficiently. It may also run less efficient if you are using low power (<100W) but since you arent using very much power in this case who cares about efficiency anyway.
Also this is a certified 80plus PSU which means it has to be >80% efficient at 20,50, and 100% load. Though its possibly it could have dips in efficiency between these load %'s, its pretty unlikely

Finally installed this. It was perfect for my server build. The cables are long enough to reach everywhere in my full heigh tower. And, there was 6 SATA power connectors long with a few molex ones. This fit perfectly for the amount of drive bays I am going to have/use.

Power draw on a idle E5-2620 with 5 drives has been about 100-120w so far.

Can someone upload the rebate form for this? I can't locate it online & don't seem to have saved a copy.

EDIT: Never mind. Figured it out.
