MSI MEG Ai1300P PCIE5 1300W 80 Plus Platinum Power Supply Review

There’s no shortage of amazing power supplies these days, but the latest hardware from MSI is certainly going to grab your attention with big power, high efficiency, all the latest PSU features and a very attractive design that stands out from the crowd. The MSI MEG Ai1300P PCIE5 has a lot to offer, and at 1300W it’s going to meet, if not exceed, the requirements of even the most demanding high-end gaming PC or workstation.

It features ATX 3.0 and PCIe 5.0 support, with the latest 12VHPWR 600W GPU power connector, fully sleeved cables, and fantastic 80 Plus Platinum efficiency, as well as the best Japanese 105c rated capacitors, promising big power and reliability that’s backed up by a 10-year warranty. It can pull up to the full 1300W on a single 12V rail, but it supports digital switching between single and multiple rails. However, looking at the hardware, I suspect it’ll push even further beyond that without breaking a sweat!
