With the recent launch of Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards, you need to make sure that your power supply can handle it. Especially when the TGP (total graphics power) for these GPUs are rated at 575W and 360W respectively. Now according to Nvidia, you need a minimum power supply of 850W or above, but personally I would go for at least 1000W of higher. Better still, why not check out the MSI MEG Ai1600T PCIE5 Power Supply.
The MEG Ai1600T PCIE5 is currently MSI’s premium flag-ship power supply. and uses server-grade materials, which includes SiC MOSFETs and 100% Japanese electrolytic capacitors.
It’s certified 80Plus and Cybernetics Titanium, and is fully ATX 3.1 and PCIE 5.1 compliant, giving you outstanding reliability and stability. It features a powerful +12V single rail @ 133.33A, giving you a total power output of up to 1600W.
The power supply comes with a complete set of high-quality braided modular cables with copper connectors, and includes 2 x color-coded 12VHPWR 16-pin PCIE 5 power cables for Nvidia’s latest CPUs.
It features a 135mm Double Ball Bearing fan for cooling, dual native 12VHPWR connectors, a USB-C port for software sync (using MSI Center), and supports Zero Fan Mode. Enabling the Zero fan mode allows silent operation when TPD is below 55% helping you save energy.
It also offers the usual protection such as OVP (Over Voltage), UVP (Under Voltage), SCP (Short Circuit),OTP (Over Temp) and OPP (Over Power), plus it comes with a massive 12-Year limited warranty for peace of mind.
If you want a power supply that can support the latest GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs, with room for future expansion, then the MSI MEG Ai1600T PSU is your answer.
