Question 1

Can this run off a US standard 120v 15amp wall outlet or does it need a 240v?

Accepted Answer

Works with 120 volt. However depending how far away from your power box there may be voltage drop. So this psu can totally use everything on 120 and if there's anything else on the circuit its going to blow a fuse.

Question 2

Is this antec grid software ready?

Antec Unveils High Current Pro Platinum Grid Series PSUs

Antec unveiled the first of its "smart" PSUs that rival Corsair AXi line, the High Current Pro Platinum Grid. The PSU plugs into your motherboard over a vacant USB 2.0/1.1 header, and interfaces with Antec Grid, a software that lets you monitor and log the unit's overall efficiency, various power domains, rails, temperatures, fan-speeds. It lets you override the unit's fan-speed curve, and monitor temperature over four sensors, reading from four key zones of the unit. Innards of these 80 Plus Platinum-certified PSUs are otherwise identical to the High Current Pro Platinum series launched last year, and are available in identical high-Wattage variants: 750W, 850W, 1000W, 1200W, and 1300W. These PSUs feature fully modular cabling, the 750W variant is ideal for gaming PC builds with up to two graphics cards, the 850W and 1000W three, and the others four. The company also showed off various HCP Platinum PSU models, most of which were launched at last year's Computex."

This model, I believe, is just the regular Antec High Current Pro Platinum PSU, as mine does not have the USB plug.  Try searching Newegg for the "Antec HCP Platinum Grid Series" specifically.

Hope this helps.

Question 3

What gauge size are the harnesses?

Accepted Answer

The sleeves are very thick but the wire itself seems about standard. An in-depth magazine review may have it.

The reason that I am commenting is that it is an awesome PSU. I have never used one better.

BUT...This is important. There is a 24 pin cable and then the other end is terminated into a y cable. One y is 20 pins and the other y is 8 pins. There is no clear instruction that BOTH of the y cables have to be hooked into the PSU. I had stripped my computer apart twice and was ready to send the whole thing back until I noticed this in a website article. It was not intuitive to me. The 24 pin cable into the mobo and the fat cable into the PSU. Seemed straightforward.
