MSI have gone ‘full on gamer' with this unit. It looks smart enough, but I can't say I am a massive fan of having ‘PERFORMANCE' in capitals across the whole top panel. The unit is large, measuring 190mm x 150mm x 86 mm.
The 135mm fan underneath the top grille has plenty of wide holes above to enhance airflow. We will show the exact unit they are using in this power supply shortly.
The power side of the unit has a switch and a C19 connector. A standard power cable will not work with this unit.
The modular side is split across three rows, all of which are labelled, There is also a USB header available (and a cable in the box) to connect to your PC for data readout. More on this in a bit.
This is obviously a very powerful supply, capable of delivering 133.33 amps to the +12V rail. both +3.3V and +5V minor rails can deliver 22A.
MSI allow this power supply to be connected to your PC for hardware monitoring capabilities. This MSI ‘GPU Safeguard+' Protection process was covered by us at CES earlier this year. If you head to 4:53 in the video below you will see it in action. It's a much better demo than showing 4 or 5 screenshots.
