Today we take a look at a new flagship power supply from MSI – the MEG Ai1600T. If we can look past the 2025 trend of putting an ‘Ai' moniker in the product name, we have strong hopes that this unit will deliver high quality power in a variety of tasking situations. The Ai1600T is fully modular, and has achieved Titanium approvals from both 80 Plus and Cybenetics certification platforms.

We don't get a lot of MSI power supplies to review so it was with great interest when they sent me a couple of new ones in the last week to look at. I thought I would dive straight into this premium flagship model to get an idea of the direction the company is going in 2025. We will get to the price later, because that certainly deserves some serious discussion, but bear with me for now.

The Ai1600T is based on a semi passive platform and it ships with a reassuring class leading 12 year warranty. It is also capable of a 240% total power excursion. RTX5090? Have no fear – just make sure it is plugged in properly!
