MSI MEG Ai1300P PCIE5 Power Supply Unit, UK Plug - 1300W, 80 Plus Platinum, Fully Modular ATX 3.0, PCIe 5.0 GPU Support, Japanese Capacitors, Gaming Intelligence, Sleeved Cables - 10 Year Warranty

Been using this PSU for the past four months in my new built with 7800X3D and RTX 4090. It's been absolute rock solid stability and not had a single issue or crash from power instability. The native ATX 3.0 cable allows for a clean build without the need for adaptors. The fan is also silent even whilst gaming. The cables are very flexible and individually sleeved making them easy to route around the case. Since its completely modular, I can just plug in what I need to keep cable management to a minimum. It also comes with a 10 year warranty which provides peace of mind and it can be moved over to the next build as well. The only downside is the price which is slightly on the expensive side. But if you are looking for a high wattage premium quality platinum power supply, I will recommend this MSI MEG Ai 1300P.

Great modular PSU with enough power for the RTX 5090 and a Ryzen 9 9950X3D and with plenty of room to spare for future upgrades. It also comes with a GPU cable whereby you don't have to use the ridiculous 4 way splitter cable and its just one neat modular cable that goes from the PSU to the GPU. Very happy with this GPU.

Bought this PSU to ensure my new build gaming PC will have enough juice to handle (ultimately) an RTX 4080 Super. Looks great, feels great, easy to fit and the modular cables mean my case contains only the cables I need for my chosen hardware. A bit pricey, but worth it for the build quality that I'm used to getting with MSI products. So far, so fantastic!

Quality item

I rarely write reviews but I feel like I need to precaution others before purchasing. First off, I purchased this PSU from a different retailer. However, I had once ordered this from Amazon, and they never seem to have this product in store for months. Hence I purchased this product from another store. Now I'm moving onto my experience with this PSU. I needed a powerful PSU with a depth of 160cm because of the design of my case. I appreciate the compact size and the design looks great. It comes along with decent plastic cable manager, though I wish they had included Velcro tape, considering its price. I hardly used the real time monitor to observe the power usage, however the mini USB cable is very loose and it slips off very easily from the slot. It worked great when I installed it. I've purchased this in February 2023 and it broke in October 2023, so it lasted for only 9 months. I was simply using the internet until I heard a puff sound (I believe it was the capacitor exploded) and the whole computer switched off by itself. My motherboard had lights powered on but the computer itself couldn't boot. I had no idea at the time, so I had to take apart my computer to figure out if it was the motherboard or PSU. You can see the video I've shared, the PSU makes a clink noise when powered on and the fan doesn't run. Once I figured it was the PSU, I contacted MSI warranty. The MSI warranty service is terrible. First, you have to sign up for an account to claim a warranty. Also you have to have evidence of receipt, photos, videos to prove the hardware doesn't work. It took about 1-2 days to get a reply, and the MSI warranty service told me to contact my retailer instead. I'll summarised what happened next, I contacted my retailer and they had sent my PSU to MSI repair centre and I never heard back from them for 4 months, luckily I was able to get a refund from my retailer instead.

I spent countless hours coming this to the ASUS Thor and went with this in the end as it was better value for money, newer and more powerful. The black with a little gold was also a sleeker and cooler look in keeping in line with the rest of my rig. Comes with all of the cables you could want. However no instructions are included if you value that sort of thing. I also cannot hear this work (not without putting my ear close to it anyway) so it is pretty darn quiet.

The best 1000W+ PSU you can buy. The PSU itself looks and feels very well made and the same goes for the included cables. The ability to monitor the power draw via MSI Centre is a great and often overlooked feature in a PSU. Can't go wrong buying this.

Excellent power supply that's much quieter than any other ATX 3.0/ PCIE 5.0 PSU I've used, with really nice individually braided cables and good integration with MSI centre that lets you see key stats like output power consumption and temperature, as well as some fan control.
