Being accomplice to the achievement of two new 3DMark records during its 25th anniversary year, Antec has cracked open the champagne as its High Current Pro HCP-1200 PSU provided a feast of power to four graphics cards - devouring, it is claimed, up to 1700W.

Esteemed overclocker, Nick Shih, used his skills (plus a healthy dose of LN2) to deliver results of 48,096 in 3DMark06 by jockeying the horsepower of four HD 5870 solutions, in 4-way CrossFire mode.

Next up, 233,433 in 3DMark03 was added to the sweep, rocketed by four GTX 580 cards in 4-way SLI configuration.

Awarded with 80 PLUS Gold certification for efficiency levels of up to 92 per cent, Antec describes its High Current Pro series as being built upon the foundations of server and workstation technology, filled with high quality components and driven to deliver an iron-fist of stability and reliability.

1700 Watts from a 1200 Watt PSU? if it can handle 1700 watts why not badge it as such?
I assume if it was badged like that it probably wouldn't have its 80+ gold certification as the efficiency at higher loads will be lower. It could also because this is a cherry picked model using best of the components?
^ Maybe it isn't retail stable @ 1700w.
Presumably as well that's load at the wall, so inefficiency will count for a good 10-20% of the final figure.
