Excellent performance and value.
Had to buy a new power supply with higher capacity due to a GPU upgrade. This is an excellent choice. The modularity means that I don’t have too many cables in my case and only install the ones I need, you also get a small bag to keep the extra cables if they are needed in the future.
The fan on the supply is very quiet and I like that it also has a quiet mode that can be turned on if preferred. The PCIE5 compatibility and native 16pin connector also makes this supply future proof. I hope that it will serve for a long time.
Silence is what you need
If you want a power supply that has the new PCIE 4/5 Connection for the 40 series then this is for you,
Also it is very quiet with the ability to activate No Fan mode,
Would just recommend this to anyone wanting a new power supply, You won’t be disappointed
Works for my build, easy return and replacement with failure.
The first power supply that I received seemed to have shorted, as it would only tick on for a second.
I very easily returned this and got a replacement within a couple days which enabled me to complete my new pc build. I’m really happy with this because of that.
The cables aren’t fantastic but do the job and are reliable. Wish the power cord was slightly longer because I’ve got it in a full tower but still great.
Great features
Overall very pleased with the purchase. The product is very well packaged, extremally happy to see see that the cables were placed inside a nice study pouch that can hold unused cables.
Very happy to see the included GPU 600watts cables, made installing RTX 4080 very easy.
0 rpm van works like a charm, even at load the PSU is quiet.
runs i7 12700k, rtx 4080 and 8 fans + aio without any problems.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for an ATX 3.0 PSU
I originally made the mistake of purchasing a Corsair RM1000e 1000W power supply, as it was the cheapest 1000W one I could find at the time that was ATX 3.0 compliant.
The unit, like many others that have been reviewed, had terrible coil whine along with a noisy fan. This was disappointing, as I have used Corsair PSUs in the past without any issues. I replaced it with this one from MSI a couple of days ago, and was relieved to find that it runs perfectly silent without any issues.
One small gripe I have is that it doesn’t come with an 8-pin PCIE power cable that isn’t daisy changed, but overall I’d definitely recommend this Power Supply to others.
