The MEG power supply measures 86mm x 150mm x 160mm which is somewhat smaller in length than the larger 200mm units we have seen in recent months. MSI have worked with CWT in the design of this power supply and they allow the end user to switch between single and multi rail modes to cover a variety of possible system configurations.

A compact 160mm-long and 150mm-wide ATX form factor ensures a comfortable and easy fit in most PC cases. designs out the door, there’s no shortage of demand for their latest and greatest wares, as well as a fresh opportunity to innovate and set themselves apart from the competition.On a design level, CWT have helped MSI create a very capable unit, able to deliver in excess of 1,400 watts before it safely shut itself down. What we tested is also an extremely unlikely scenario for the moment, as no graphics card can currently be drawing 600 Watts constantly – it would itself melt.

I reckon even worrying about the planet ("we use green, vegan manufacturing processes throughout our business because we care") is of a token nature and only important when it can add more dollars to the corporation's bank balance or social prestige. We can only imagine the naming for this product was lost somewhere in translation between Asia and Europe. The power supply uses Japanese capacitors throughout – all 105C rated from well known Japanese companies such as Nichicon.

All secondary capacitors are manufactured by Rubycon and Nippon Chemi-Con and are also certified for use up to 105 degrees Celsius. The filtering stage begins on the rear of the AC switch, with six Y capacitors, two X capacitors, and two filtering inductors. Today to test the power supply we have taken it into our acoustics room environment and have set our Digital Sound Level Noise Decibel Meter Style 2 one meter away from the unit.

The cable connectors are made of premium copper alloy, which offers better current surge protection than generic phosphor bronze. MSI uses a black box to ship the MEG series the front of which contains a product picture, the company logo and the main product features. Now if I had to nitpick (as l always do) I’d have to point out the lack of a zero-fan mode switch/button at the rear of the unit which was a surprise to me (every other unit sporting that feature to arrive in the lab to date has it). When I queried the 10 year warranty terms, I was told the 10 year support does indeed cover the United Kingdom, but I am waiting to hear back on support for other locations globally.

The power supply can support current generation graphics cards, and if you pay attention you can see the +12VHPWR connector top left which means you can also connect up a new Nvidia RTX 4000 series graphics card.
