Olen seurannut tarkkaan Antecin virtalähdetarjonnan kehitystä jo ensimmäisten TruePower-mallien ajoilta ja ainakin omiin kokemuksiini pohjaten uskaltaisin kehaista Neo HE:n olevan paras Antecin tähän mennessä julkaisemista virtalähteistä.

"Les overclockers, et plus gènèralemant ceux qui recherchent la puissance, seront particulièrement sensibles à ses qualitès : tensions hyperstables, chauffe très peu, bon refroidissement".
- PC Update (France)

"Ein erster Test im PCpro-Labor zeigt: Unter normaler Auslastung wie etwa beim Büroeinsatz sind die Netzteile nicht hörbar. Zudem praktisch, ursprünglich auch von Antec eingeführt und nun auch bei anderen Herstellern zu finden sind die abnehmbaren Kabelstränge."
- PC Professionell (Germany)

"Das Antec-Gerät lieferte im Test die besten Leistungswerte: Unser SLI-System kann es ohne Probleme mit Energie versorgen, die Leistungspegel der Leitungen bleiben dabei stabil. ... Bestnoten gabe es für die Kühlung: Ein einzelner 80-mm-Lüfter reicht aus, um das Netzteil auch bei hohen Belastungen auf 33,9 Grad zu kühlen - ein Topwert. "

"All in all, it's one of the best power supplies we've reviewed"

"infine consigliamo l'Antec NeoHE 550W a tutti gli amanti della silenziosità operativa, che prestano molta attenzione ai consumi e al calore prodotto nel proprio case senza rinunciare ad un prodotto che, pur con qualche difficoltà nella gestione dei rail minori, mostra una indubbia capacità di amministrazione del rail da +12V con quella che a nostra avviso è la migliore proposta modulare per la cavetteria."
- amdplanet.it (Italy)

"Cette Antec Neo HE 550 watts a vraiment tout pour plaire. Elle offre en effet la qualité des tensions propres aux blocs True Power et offre en plus un excellent rendement. La Neo HE se paie en plus le luxe de se doter d’un système modulaire de gestion des câbles. Ces derniers sont gainés et d’une très bonne longueur. Et le prix ? Il est raisonnable pour un bloc de cette puissance et doté de si nombreuses qualités. C’est bien simple, nous avons beau chercher, nous ne parvenons pas à lui découvrir le moindre défaut…"

"Either i'm going deaf or this unit is totally silent! During testing i was forced to place my hand at the back of the unit to see if the fan was pushing air through several times. Only when all of the rails were tested together (total 70a load) did the unit emit a silent whisper. This is where the 'High Efficiency' of the unit comes in to play. The unit managed to remain cool, and keep the fan speeds low under high load,which means that very little energy was turned into heat during the conversion from AC to DC voltage."

"We can't help thinking of anything but the NeoHE. Initially, what looked like an overpriced power supply, the astonishing features that followed; rock solid stability, independent power lines, modular cables and an overall efficiency of up to 86%, every penny spent is well worth the price. The NeoHE is one of the very few with ATX 2.2 support and enters our vault of the finest products manufactured to date."

"I can heartily recommend the Antec Neo HE 550 Watt power supply to anyone searching for a power supply in this power range. This power supply more than exudes quality ranging from it's external and internal design, cooling, noise under stress, to most importantly performance. It's the only power supply that I've used to date that seemed to take every thing my system had to dish out and not so much as wince! "

"the Antec Neo HE is only 550W, it was able to handle our power hungry hardware with very impressive stability. This power supply featured Active PFC with an efficiency rating of up to 85%, which is the reason this power supply was the third most efficient of the group. Being the second lowest in price the Antec Neo HE 550W power supply is really the price versus performance winner when it comes to this group of eight power supplies. "

"The Antec Neo HE 550 turned out to be exactly what I had expected. This Neo HE 550W is the quietest PSU I've ever used and I've used PSUs from many companies including OCZ and PC Power & Cooling, to name a few. Performance wise, the Neo HE 550W did excellent. I ran it through some serious torture tests, pushed it harder then most users will and it succeeded in every way. Voltage regulation is tight, the unit is dead silent and very powerful. I highly recommend this unit to anyone seeking a PSU that is quiet, efficient and most importantly, POWERFUL . "
