Antec NeoHE 430 - Silence is Golden!, November 19, 2006
This review is from: Antec Neo-HE-430 430-Watt High Efficiency Power Supply Unit (Personal Computers)
Pros: Good, solid power. Very quiet operation. Modular sleeved cables for the Tidy amongst us. Relatively high efficiency. HONESTLY Rated for 430w CONTINUOUS Power output at OPERATING TEMPERATURE.
Cons: Due to variations in the intepretation of the ATX PSU standard, earlier versions of this unit (including mine) will not run certain mainboards. The Modular Cables can induce unwanted resistance as there are 2 connectors per cable instead of 1. The PCI-e cable can be installed backwards by the clueless and cause damage to the PSU and Videocard.
Another capable, HONESTLY rated PSU from Antec, this powered my Dual-Core Intel system with an ATI x800 and 3 HDDs without apparent effort. Nothing I could do could cause enough load to noticeably speed up the PSU fan or cause the slightest fluctuation in voltages. The "Motherboard compatibility problem" applies mostly to NF4 chipset boards made by 2 manufacturers, DFI and ASUS. This is shared with another High-Efficiency PSU manufacturer, Seasonic.

Great Power Supply, June 9, 2008
This review is from: Antec Neo-HE-430 430-Watt High Efficiency Power Supply Unit (Personal Computers)
So far this PS has worked great. I purchased it mainly because I was interested in having a modular power supply, which this is. (In case some don't know, everything besides the main power connector is able to unplug, so if you don't use some of the different connectors, you don't have to tie them up and find a place to put them in the case, they just aren't attached, therefore creating less clutter).
Before this, I had a Antec EarthWatts 500 PS. Only reason I grabbed this, was Amazon had a great price, and I wanted to try out the modular connectors like I mentioned before. No problems whatsoever with this or the other Antec I had. This is a 430 Watt supply, and I power a BFG 8800 GT OC, Q6600, 1TB Seagate HD just fine! Very happy with it, and it is very quiet, and does a great job.

random shutdowns, September 20, 2007
This review is from: Antec Neo-HE-430 430-Watt High Efficiency Power Supply Unit (Personal Computers)
After installing this PS my systems suffered constant random shutdowns. System would not power back up until briefly removing AC from the PS. From what I've read this appears to be an ongoing problem with the Antec NEO HE series for at least a couple years. It is evidently still not fixed.
Returned and ordered the Corsair HX520 instead.
