How good is the Antec Neo Eco 620C PSU?

[jontrott123]

I purchased this PSU fairly recently for my PC. However, I can't find it on the psu tier list. Which tier do you think it should be on?

It's made by Seasonic based on the Seasonic S12II Bronze Series 620W (SS-620GB) platform. It uses an older group regulated design.

Neither Antec or Seasonic claim Intel Haswell compatibility (i.e. Intel C6/C7 power states) for this model.

No better than Tier 3.

According to Antec, it is fully compatible with Haswell, and its low power states.

A few other people have asked on this forum, and they say it should be a solid tier 2.

Hi - I wouldn't put a group regulated PSU in tier 2 and yes Antec claims it is Haswell ready, but it has
not been certified as such.

The feature set for the 620c on the Antec site makes no mention of Haswell compatibility.

I'll trust Seasonic before I'll trust Antec. Seasonic knows whether or not their group regulated PSUs are Intel Haswell Ready when tested according to Intel's testing methodology.

I've seen Cooler Master making claims for Haswell compatibility for some of their models but PSU reviews show that the PSU doesn't even pass the test during crossload testing.

No claim of Haswell compatibility on Antec's website or product flyer:

Why would I care what a few other people say it should be in Tier 2? JonnyGURU's own spreadsheet had a 10 Tier classification and he only rated it a 6.
