MSI MEG Ai1300P PCIE5 Power Supply Review

The MEG Ai1300P arrives in a very attractive box with a high resolution image of the power supply on the front.

The rear of the box highlights some of the key features along with some technical details including the cable configuration.

Inside the outer box is a bag of cables and accessories and the power supply itself, wrapped in a plastic bag, sandwiched between two pieces of foam.

The package contains cable comb managers, a regional specific power connector and mounting screws.

The cables are a mixture of sleeved and custom sleeved to fit into a variety of builds. MSI also supply a MINI USB to USB cable as this power supply can be controlled via MSI software.

MSI call this ‘G.I' (Gaming Intelligence) support. I can't say I really have had great experiences with the MSI software in the past and sometimes it would crash on the test system I used, but the software for the power supply seems to show everything that MSI claim.

MSI's real time power monitor works via the MSI Center app and is useful if you wish to monitor power supplied to the system.

The Features panel highlights wattage, efficiency, temperatures and fan speeds. When the load is below 55% or temperatures are below 70 degrees the fan will automatically stop.

Instead of having a physical switch on the rear of the power supply to toggle between multi rail and single rail, you can control this via the software itself.
