With the HCP-850 you get a semi-modular power supply. It's interesting to see that there are more cables in the delivery than there are actually connectors, which gives you a certain level of flexibility for your build.
The 12V rails are well done and cables can be attached in almost any possible combination and there shouldn't be OCP issues.




The design is based on one single 12V rail. However this 12V rail is then splitted into four Rails for distribution. The four rails are then OCP protected individually. In our opinion it is good that the manufacturer split the rail (also because of security reasons). Antec provides clear information about the rails and the OCP levels. Due to the fact that the rails can cope with almost any configuration OCP issues should not occur.
