MSI MEG Ai1300P PCIE5 Power Supply Review

We feel this design is going to split opinion. The Asian community tend to love gold accented tech products, the European audience, not so much. It is nicely finished, but I am not a fan of the gold touches.

The MEG power supply measures 86mm x 150mm x 160mm which is somewhat smaller in length than the larger 200mm units we have seen in recent months.

One interesting feature MSI have incorporated- the two panels on the side are held in place magnetically, so they can be easily removed and flipped – depending on your chassis install rotation. This way you get to see the ‘MEG' logo as you want (or you could in theory remove them completely to get rid of some of the gold accenting if you wanted). These do have a tendency to drop off quite easily so you need to be careful when handling the power supply.

One side of the unit is home to the power switch and power socket. This side of the power supply is vented, to help with airflow.

The other side of the power supply houses the modular connectors. The power supply can support current generation graphics cards, and if you pay attention you can see the +12VHPWR connector top left which means you can also connect up a new Nvidia RTX 4000 series graphics card.

The fan is hidden behind a shroud with another gold accented panel. We will take a closer look at this fan when we open the power supply shortly.

We can see the MEG Ai1300P can deliver 108amps to the +12V rail, for a total of 1300 watts.
