Antec Neo HE650R - fake Antec?

Post by AiiiMT » Fri Nov 03, 2017 3:50 am

I just bought a Antec-Neo-HE650R off ebay here:

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Antec-Neo-H ... SwdSRZ8aMM

However after some searching I could not for the life of me find it on the Antec website. The closest one is the NeoPower 650 Blue (http://www.antec.com/product.php?id=1223&lan=uk), but that model is modular, whereas this one is not.

Also the only places where this exact model name pops up is in 2nd hand parts sellers like ebay. So I'm thinking maybe this is some other psu with a fake Antec sticker?

Or am I been paranoid and this is just an older model that doesn't appear on the Antec web site? (The psu does have a 8pin PCI-E power connector though so I'm logically thinking it can't be that old.)

Maybe it's for the OEM market. Does it seem fake?

Well that's what I'm trying to find out. I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable in PSUs can have a look.

It says NeoPower 650 on the sticker, but unlike this psu all the models of NeoPower 650 I can find on google are modular.
