The 12V rail is conservatively set, but having the same triggering point under cold and hot conditions is incorrect. The same goes for over power protection, where the triggering points are almost identical. Nonetheless, OPP is conservatively set, given the platform’s capabilities.
OCP on the minor rails is set too high, and again, the triggering points are very close under cold and hot conditions, rendering the corresponding protection features ineffective under stressful conditions.

Sick, so I basically have to guess lol. Thanks for the responses regardless!
Wanna thank you guys for the review, I was doing an absolute ton of research a couple of weeks ago between 1000+ watt ATX 3.0 units, and between this and the PlatiGemini I ended up with this unit cause it had more PCIE, a longer warranty and was actually on sale for 270 US at time of purchase.
One thing I wanted to ask, is there a way to check if my native 12VHPWR cables are 12V-2×6? Anything to look for in the sense pins or the connector itself? I’d appreciate it cause all this crap around 12VHPWR is very confusing lol
The cables remain the same, only the PCB header changes.
The cable remains the same, there are no changes there as far as I know.
Is msi’s psu that bad really?
Nope.
