The MSI MPG A1000GS is a compact power supply, measuring 150x150x86 mm. The sides of the PSU have the logo of the MSI dragon mascot in place, along with the ‘MPG Performance Gaming' logo. If you like your power supplies clean and simple then this might not appeal to you, but in reality most system builds now hide a power supply behind a shroud.

I quite like the overall appearance however even if it is a little more complex than usual.

The PSU fan is hidden behind a grille. The cut holes on this one look to offer good airflow capabilities which is good to see.

The modular bay is split over two rows, all clearly labelled for ease of use during the installation phase of the build process.

The other side of the unit is home to the power connector, power switch and ‘zero fan' function. This toggles the units passive operation between specific loads.

The A1000GS can deliver 83.3A on the +12v rail for 999.6W of the total power. The +3.3V and +5V rails can deliver 22A.
