The simplified cabling supports 450W to 600W power requirements with a single line, compared to the 3 to 4 lines or an adapter cable needed previously. This advancement has gained traction, especially with the release of RTX 40 series graphics cards. Despite its benefits, the 12VHPWR interface can be challenging to install correctly, potentially leading to various technical issues. To address this, MSI introduced a color-coded power cord design in its MAG A750GL and A850GL PCIE5 power supplies last year, enabling visual verification of a secure connection between the power plug and the graphics card.
Expanding on this initiative, MSI has now extended the color-coded design to the ATX3.0 power supplies within its MPG and MEG series. This update aims to simplify installation and minimize the risk of connectivity-related problems, enhancing the overall reliability of the power supply setup.
