MEG Ai1600T PCIE5 – redefining high-performance power delivery with cutting-edge technology and innovative design for gamers and creators, embodying the pinnacle of performance and innovation.
Certified by 80 PLUS, Cybenetics, and PPLP and fully compliant with ATX 3.1 and PCIe (CEM) 5.1 standards, ready the power of your performance. Featuring two native 12V-2x6 connectors and dual color cables enable seamless compatibility with dual PCIe 5.1 GPUs.
MSI has unveiled its latest flagship power supply unit (PSU), the MEG Ai1600T PCIE5, designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern gaming systems and professional workstations. This PSU integrates cutting-edge technology and high-quality components to deliver exceptional performance and reliability.
Performance and Efficiency
The MEG Ai1600T PCIE5 boasts a substantial 1600W power output, ensuring ample energy for high-performance GPUs and CPUs. It adheres to the ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 standards, featuring dual-native 12V-2x6 connectors that provide seamless compatibility with next-generation graphics cards.
Achieving an 80 PLUS Titanium certification, this PSU offers up to 94 percent efficiency, minimizing energy loss and reducing heat generation. The incorporation of server-grade Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs enhances efficiency by lowering operating temperatures and optimizing heat dissipation.
Design and Build Quality
Constructed with 100 percent Japanese 105°C capacitors, the MEG Ai1600T PCIE5 ensures durability and long-term reliability. Its fully digital design, managed by a microcontroller unit (MCU), allows for precise control over power delivery, enhancing system stability.
Despite its high power output, the PSU maintains a compact form factor with dimensions of 190 x 150 x 86 mm, thanks to the integration of server-grade flat coil transformers that optimize internal space for improved heat dissipation.
Cooling and Acoustic Performance
Equipped with a 135 mm double-ball bearing fan, the MEG Ai1600T PCIE5 offers efficient cooling while maintaining low noise levels. The PSU features a zero-fan mode that halts fan operation during low loads, ensuring silent operation when the system is under minimal stress.
