Sirtec

Sirtec is a big player in the OEM power supply business. You will find their PSUs included with many cases and also companies that sell PSUs in their own name are using Sirtec engineering.

Now Sirtec is going more into the enthusiast market with powerful PSUs.


The HPC-620-A88S is the current top of the line model with three 12V lines for a total wattage of 620W. This power supply comes with EPS power connector for even the most power hungry motherboards.


620 Watts isn't enough for you? Here comes their new 850W unit which is still under development. It has FOUR! 12V lines, each being able to handle up to 18A. This is a crazy 768W on the 12V rails alone. Sounds like a good Quad-SLI PSU.


All new high-end PSUs from Sirtec have this integrated Watts Viewer on the backside. It displays the current power consumption of the system. We have seen similar solutions from Thermaltake in the past but they took up a 5.25" slot. Personally I like Sirtecs solution better because you don't lose the slot and can still easily take a look.


For the green (no not NVIDIA) environment friendly people this "GreenPower" PSU has been engineered to offer an especially high efficiency ratio. Sirtec guarantees 80% efficiency under any load scenario. Many other manufacturers give 80% only under certain temperature or load conditions. Also included is an automatic fan control circuit which keeps noise levels down.
