This is a high-capacity PSU, so there is no need to push hard OCP at 12V, and the same applies to the over-power protection. Nonetheless, I would like to see a difference between normal and hot OCP on all rails. The same goes for over power protection.
The rest of the protection features are present and work well, but the unit lacks fan failure protection, which is essential for such a high-end PSU.

When I saw the fan curve of this PSU from the Cybenetics report, I wasn’t expecting such a poor cooling solution for this PSU! With far better built (and cheaper!) noise-optimized ATX 3.1 PSUs in the market like the Seasonic Prime Noctua TX-1600 or the Cooler Master Silent X Platinum 1300, I really don’t see the point in throwing $699 USD for a PSU that doesn’t even come with fan failure protection.
Such a dissapointing PSU from MSI…
NZXT with price around $369 (it’s around $329 in Indonesia) outclassed MSI MEG A1600T with its price around $700
Really, MSI?
