MSI MPG A1000GS PCIE5 Power Supply Review

 

Packaging

Inside the box, you’ll find the power supply unit, a packet of screws and a pouch containing all the modular cables.

 

The Cables

As you can see below, you get the full set of embossed jacket cables which includes 1 x Molex, 2 x SATA, 1 x 24-pin ATX power for the motherboard, 2 x 8-pin (EPS) CPU and 1 x 8-pin (6+2) PCIE cable. And finally, 2 x 12VHPWR 16-pin PCIe 5.0 cables, which is rated up to 600W for GeForce RTX graphics cards.

Another nice feature about these cables is that they come with alloy copper connector and cable organizer, allowing easier bending and routing. While the dual color-coded 12V-2×6 connectors ensures that the cables are properly connected between the PSU and the graphics card.

 

A Closer Look

The overall build quality of the PSU is very good, however the panel cvering the 135mm fan feels a little fragile. This power supply has a load of connectors, enough to satisfy most users.

Next to the mains power switch, you’ll find the Zero fan on/off switch. Enabling the Zero fan mode allows silent operation when TPD is below 40% helping you save energy.
