Overview
The Antec Neo ECO Gold ZEN 700W packaging is trimmed out in yellow, white, and silver/grey along with a large superimposed picture of the fan grill of the included unit. The front of the package is mostly devoid of information, save for the advertising about the 5-year warranty and the 80 Plus Gold seal. When we check the 80 Plus website we do find this unit listed so we will be seeing how this unit does in that regard a bit later on. The rear of the packaging looks like it has a lot going on. However, it is just the same 7 advertising points repeated over and over again in different languages. The side of the package has the power label (reproduced below) and connector counts (reproduced below) for this unit.
The Antec Neo ECO Gold ZEN 700W is advertised as being a single 12v rail power supply with a capacity up to 58A (or ~99% of the unit’s capacity) if necessary. The minor rails (5v and 3.3v) have a capacity of 18A each and the combined capacity of those two rails is 100W. Combined with these outputs, we find that this unit has 4 PCIe connectors, 6 SATA connectors, and 2 Molex connectors.
Once we open the Antec Neo ECO Gold ZEN 700W packaging we find the power supply, mounting screws, power cord, and user manual. The user manual covers this model, the 600W model, and the 500W model. By cover, I mean lists the connectors and that is, literally, it. The documentation is completely useless and repeats the information we see on the packaging. Indeed, it is just a waste of paper. Let’s move on to the unit itself now.
