Features and Specifications



Before we take a closer look at the Antec TPQ-850 TruePower Quattro 850W Power Supply, let's check its Features and Specifications taken from the box and Antec's web site.

There is no information in the manual or Antec's web site about +12V rails distribution. So, I requested this information directly from Antec.

Interesting is that UL code E176105 lookup at the Online Certification Directory returns Antec, Inc. as the manufacturer of the TPQ-850 TruePower Quattro 850W Power Supply. Though, Antec does not have a factory itself. They design their products from scratch and use other existing factories to make them.
