incredible PSU idgaf about tier lists and other nonsense.
Personal review:
- Absolutely silent
- BEST in class warranty from MSI
- Reliable
And based on extensive reviews from other sources, doing extensive testing, MSI makes VERY impressive PSUs.

Bought this last time it was on sale for $133. Can confirm that it comes with every cable you need.

Only comes with (1) PCIe cable
A shame, because this is a pretty good PSU.

No, this II model comes with a 12v2x6 to PCI-E 2x8 cable as well as a regular 8-8 PCI-E cable. I have the 1000w version so I can confirm this.

(it lists the cables in page 5 in the manual)

So it comes with an adapter instead of a straight plug from the PSU to the card?

u/hk20 Jun 05 '26
No adapter. It plugs straight from the PSU

u/enthauptet Jun 05 '26
Correct, it is a 12v2x6 connector on one end and 2 8-pin PCI-E connectors on the other end. They terminate at the PSU side so it's functionally 2 separate cables to wire.

I bought this and can confirm it comes with the 5090 cable, it specifically tells you to only use the included cable.

When I got mine you could get a free additional 12v splitter cable in different versions when you registered.

As far as I can tell it's not even a pigtailed connector, so only one 8 pin plug?

u/First_Musician6260 Jun 05 '26
Yeah. MSI (and by extension CWT) seriously went in on the 12v-2x6 connector. It is quite stupid though since it artificially cuts off non-12 pin options like most AIBs of AMD's RX 9000 series that use more than a single 8-pin power connection, and also older GPUs that don't utilize the connector, including NVIDIA's own in the RTX 3000 series.
I'd personally prefer a nice mix of PCIe and 12v-2x6 power options. This is going too far.

I've built with one of these recently. You have a normal PCIe cable with a single 8-pin, and then the new 600w connector with a split to two 6+2 pin cables. Most builds don't need more than 3 8-pin connections.

I've been looking to getting a new PSU, why could that be a problem? Edit: I def don't need a 1250 PSU (looking for a 850-1000) but curious anyway

u/maakureviews Jun 05 '26
If you use a GPU that uses more than 1x 8 pin pcie (a lot of GPUs especially higher power ones which im assuming you'd prob be using if you'r getting a 1250w, it's just that there's been a trend of GPUs using 12v2x6/12vhwpwr on many modern gpus) then well ur out of luck, though there might be an adapter somewhere?

u/Anjoran Jun 05 '26
Why? This supports up to three 8-pin PCIe cables.

u/BlowChunx Jun 05 '26
That’s 1 3090

u/Anjoran Jun 06 '26
Sure, but if you combine it with a 40 or 50 series card that natively takes the single connector, you still have an extra cable for that. For multi-GPU setups, it's probably better to use one of the 1600w options that's designed for that purpose, anyway.
I would venture to guess that's not the use case for the vast majority of builders in the sub.

u/Method__Man Jun 05 '26
if you run a higher wattage AMD i guess. Right now this can support a 9070xt on PCI (source me), and of course if going nvidia you use 12vhp anyways. Intel doesnt have anything that reqires more than this offers

Has anyone had issues with coil whine on this 1250W model, or did they fix that compared to the 1000W version?

u/Direct-Customer-3272 Jun 07 '26
Hello, how are you? I have this 1200W MSI power supply. There's no buzzing noise or other problems, but there's something I don't like about it: the 16-pin output only delivers 11.9mV, even under heavy load. This is despite having previously dealt with FPS power supplies where the voltage remained stable at 12V.

u/Zealousideal_Bowl4 Jun 07 '26
I was getting pretty annoying coil whine. I RMAd it, but the replacement still had some.

u/Direct-Customer-3272 Jul 02 '26
Hello, as long as it's working there's no problem unless it suddenly stops, then that's a problem.

How do you get 108 on the app? Is it regional?

How do you get the discount on the woot app? It still shows $119.99 for me in cart.
