MSI MPG A1000GS PCIE5 ATX v3.1 PSU Review

Box & Bundle

The product comes in a sturdy box with a PSU photo at the front and its model number. Inside, the protection is good, with packing foam surrounding the product. Moreover, a bag contains all the cables.

Product Photos

The PSU has compact dimensions, and the exterior design looks nice. On the front side, besides the AC receptacle, there is a power switch and a button for toggling on/off the fan’s passive operation. Around the back, the modular board has ten sockets, including two 12V-2×6 sockets, which are overkill for a 1000W PSU unless the user wants to install two mid-level graphics cards not exceeding 300W TDP.

Cables

Modular Cables
Description Cable Count Connector Count (Total) Gauge In Cable Capacitors
ATX connector 24 pin (595mm) 1 1 16-20AWG No
4+4 pin EPS12V (750mm) 2 2 16AWG No
6+2 pin PCIe (605mm) 1 1 18AWG No
12+4 pin PCIe (600mm) (600W) 2 2 16-24AWG No
SATA (495mm+150mm+150mm+150mm) 2 8 18AWG No
4-pin Molex (495mm+150mm+150mm+150mm) 1 4 18AWG No
AC Power Cord (1380mm) – C13 coupler 1 1 18AWG

There are two EPS, a single PCIe, and two high-power PCIe cables. I asked MSI why they didn’t include more 6+2 PCIe but only a single one, and the reply is that this PSU is destined for NVIDIA graphics cards and not for AMD ones! All gauges are embossed, and the cables are long enough, with the distance between the peripheral connectors at 150mm, which is ideal.

  1. Hi, Aris! I scrolled down Enermax’s website, and came up with Enermax Revolution III. It is said to be ATX 3.1, and i’m pretty sure it’s a replacement for Revolution DF judging from its price

    Would you be consider to review this unit? Thanks
