The exterior design looks nice, thanks to the gold pieces. The fan grille is not so restrictive, but the top gold piece blocks a small part of the fan.


The gold and dragon graffiti pieces on the sides can be easily removed since they have magnetic tapes. They are plastic.


The power specifications label is installed at the bottom side.


There is a mini USB port on the modular panel since this PSU is compatible with MSI's Gaming Intelligence app, through which you can monitor the PSU's data and set its fan speed profile. I was able to do the latter, but I couldn't get any information out of the PSU. Since I had an early sample, I didn't spend more time troubleshooting this issue.


Measuring 160 mm in depth, this PSU has a compact enough footprint.


Here are some more photos of the PSU from various angles.

Cables and Connectors

The number of provides cables and connectors is high. It is nice to see so many PCIe connectors on dedicated cables, but I would prefer if MSI equipped the PSU with fewer PCIe 6+2 cables and increased the number of EPS cables/connectors to three. The PSU has a 12VHPWR connector, there is no need for so many legacy PCIe.


The distance between the peripheral connectors is adequate at 150 mm. It is also great to see two USB cables covering both usage scenarios with Type A and a mainboard header on the other side.
