MSI MEG Ai1300P PCIE5, Fully Modular Gaming 1300W Power Supply, 80+ Platinum, Native 12V-2x6 Cable, 100% Japanese Capacitor, ATX 3.1 & PCIe 5.1 Ready, Low-Noise, Sleeve Cables, 10 Year Warranty

Unlike many PSUs in the 1000+ watt range, this one maintains the small form factor of lower-powered PSUs, and it does so without getting overheated. Granted, I'm running an i7-13700k with my trust old GTX 1080ti, but still. One of the other major selling points of this PSU is that it has a dedicated 12V rail for your GPU. I have no issue running my old 1080ti on it and now I'm future-proofed for an eventual upgrade to an RTX 4090. Full modularity is always great, of course, and this PSU comes with plenty of cables for every type of connection you might need (except IDE, but you're spending way too much on a PSU if you're using this for a retro PC, lol). Also, I know some reviews of this PSU say that can get a little noisy under heavy loads, but I've yet to experience that. However, that could also be because I'm already running a huge air-cooling setup and can't hear the PSU's fan. Having a whisper-quiet PC has never been a concern for me, anyway. I will say, it would be nice if MSI had used a 140mm fan rather than a 120mm, as the chassis of this PSU certainly could accommodate it. A minor design criticism, ultimately. My only other criticism is that with a bottom-mounted, fan-down installation, there's a big information sticker that's highly visible on the face-up side. This doesn't affect anything, it just looks ugly. I don't know where else you'd put such a sticker, though, given that there's minimal real estate for one, but you'd think that as a gaming-oriented PC hardware manufacturer, MSI would've considered that many gamers care almost as much about aesthetics in their builds as they do performance. As far as PSU's go, it's a nice-looking box, other than that damn sticker. I certainly wouldn't pass on this PSU for that, though. This thing is a beast and a great choice, despite being on the pricey end, that will future-proof your system. Also, that sticker could relatively easily be removed if you so chose to do so. Overall, 5/5, highly recommended.

Firstly this is a 1300W PSU, I took a risk hoping it wasn't the 1000w that was stated in the title. Sure enough I was right! This is the 1300w with the 600w cable that connects to the new 40 series graphic cards from Invida. Makes the build so much cleaner and easier. The cables are really nice and high end. and there is plenty to fulfill what ever build you are considering. The fan is quiet with no issues. The PSU has survived two power outages in my area. I believe those type of incidents at times will destroy or burn your hardware, the PSU is a like a shield if you will. It's still running like a champ! The PSU does come with a bag to store your extra cables and the PSU itself has magnetic badges the gold plates and black ones with the dragon are both removable , if you want an all black PSU you could make that happen. The price is worth it for this PSU. It has a app that allows you to view power withdraw and some other handy stuff in the MSI center. Overall it's a solid made PSU. Most important part of a PC. The back end of the PSU looks elegant and easily managed for flawless installation.

Its 1300W power capacity is way more than enough for my PC build, and the fact that it’s fully compliant with the ATX 3.0 specification gives me confidence in its future-proof design. One of the standout features of the MEG Ai1300P PCIE5 is its 12VHPWR connector, which can deliver up to 600W. This has been particularly useful for my high-performance graphics card. The PSU’s performance has been consistent and reliable, its extremely quiet. The modular design of the MEG Ai1300P PCIE5 is sleek and well thought out, making cable management a breeze. The variety of high-quality cables included with the PSU is also a nice touch. The cables were easy to manage and route. In conclusion, I’m very satisfied with the MSI MEG Ai1300P PCIE5. Its impressive performance, ATX 3.0 compliance, and future-proof design make it a worthwhile investment for any enthusiast PC builder. I would highly recommend it to others.

I rarely ever do reviews unless I had a terrible experience. This is one of those. Considering the PRICE $400!) and all the marketing on this and labels "100% Japanese caps, 3.1 5.1, platinum, the MSI brand", etc, I had very high hopes. It seemed like a very high quality psu. I was wrong. This was my last piece for my brand new build. I finally finished and was setting up all my drivers, havent even put the system at full load yet. Only TWO hours into my new build, while simply browsing the web, my brand new pc shut off and wouldnt turn on again. Motherboard lights were on. Everything else was off. I opened it up to check connections and tripled checked, everything was fine. While looking around, I touched the psu and it was HOT! Abnormally hot for what I was doing and not even being at full load. Before that all my temps on my other components were perfect. Why would my psu be so hot? I gave it a day (maybe it overheated) and still wouldnt turn on. My last resort was to swap it out for my old EVGA 1000w, and low and behold, everything turned on and worked perfectly. I did research and turns out this psu is very well known for shutting off randomly on people and completely dying out of the blue. The fan also doesn't turn on until about 70c degrees unless you download the software and adjust it. Completely unacceptable for this price point. Never buying an msi psu again. Since then ive purchased a white lian li 1200w edge and it's way cheaper and an amazing psu with way better features. If you research this pau you'll find many people, also on reddit, with this same problem happening in the same way. Even on here if you check the 1 star reviews everyone describes the same problem. I shouldve listened.

bought MSI MEG 1300w for my new 5090 msi build. feels like a serious piece of hardware right out of the box. It’s solid, n heavy, and clearly well made, with premium capacitors and clean modular connectors. The sleeved cables look great and make cable routing simple and tidy. the little clips are very useful as well. In use, it’s dead silent most of the time—the fan rarely turns on, and evven when it does, it’s barely noticeable. Power delivery is rock steady, and everything about it feels engineered for long term reliability. the ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 support means it’s ready for any modern MSI setup without other cables. It’s not the cheapest PSU, but you can tell where the money goes: build quality, stability, and silence. The 10-year warranty is great too. use for 1 more build for sure.

Just got it cos it fit the build. Build quality is good, stable power.

Using the MSI MEG Ai1300P PCIe5 with my Ryzen 9 9800X3D and RTX 5080 Founders Edition — and it's been flawless so far. My build has 11 fans, and this PSU handles everything effortlessly. No coil whine, no hiccups, and the power delivery is stable even under heavy loads. The fully modular braided cables are a nice touch — high quality, flexible, and easy to manage during installation. The PCIe 5.0 support makes it future-proof for upcoming GPUs as well. Highly recommended if you're building a top-tier rig and want peace of mind with clean, reliable power.

Après plusieurs semaines d’utilisation, le MSI MEG Ai1300P PCIE5 s’est révélé irréprochable. La puissance est largement suffisante pour une configuration haut de gamme, et la stabilité est exemplaire, même lors de longues sessions de jeu. Les câbles entièrement modulaires facilitent énormément l’installation et le rangement. Les composants sont de qualité, notamment les condensateurs japonais, et le bloc reste très silencieux. La compatibilité ATX 3.0 et PCIe 5.0 en fait un choix idéal pour les cartes graphiques récentes. Avec en plus une garantie de 10 ans, c’est un achat sûr et durable. Rien à redire : un excellent bloc d’alimentation pour qui cherche la fiabilité et la performance.

Si buscas una nueva fuente de poder para una RTX 4090 / 4080, está es una de las mejores opciones en el mercado actualmente gracias a su certificación ATX 3.0. La adición principal de esta clase de fuentes es un puerto "12VHPWR" que permite usar un solo cable para la tarjeta de video. El cable 12VHPWR de esta fuente puede enviar hasta 600W a la tarjeta de video (otras fuentes ATX 3.0 de capacidades menores a 1200W suelen cargar cables de 450W o menos). Aunque la RTX 4090 solo necesita un cable de 450W, esta fuente es una buena opción en caso que decidas conservarla para varios upgrades. También con el cable que incluye te evitas usar el horrendo adaptador que viene con la RTX 4090 / 4080. La mayoría de los cables de las fuentes son bastante flexibles (incluyendo el cable de 24 pines!). El cable 12VHPWR es algo rígido en comparación al resto. Si tu gabinete no es muy ancho, tendrás problemas en colocar la tapa del lateral. Esta fuente también es semi-digital; al conectar el usb que se encuentra en la PSU a tu PC, puedes usar el software de MSI Center para poder monitorear el uso de cada riel. También permite ajustar la curva del ventilador y cambiar entre un modo multi-riel y mono-riel para el canal de 12V. Aún y aunque estuviese usando al máximo una RTX 4090 con un Ryzen 9 7900X, el ventilador de la PSU corre a una velocidad tan baja que no me fue posible identificar el ruido del ventilador de la PSU sobre los otros ventiladores de mi PC. En conclusión, una buena fuente de poder ATX 3.0 para usarla para varias actualizaciones aún y aunque el precio es bastante elevado.
