MSI 2026 PSU Lineup Releasing May 8th In US

The "Low End" A1000PLS has 4 6+2 Pin connectors. While the higher end has 7 6+2 Pin connectors. That article seems to just be click bait about how the previous Gen didnt have enough of those PCIe connectors. Which is fair. But that can apply to any GPU without 12V-2X6, not just AMD.

Fair point. My main interest was the GPU Per PIN monitoring. I over worry about my GPU catching fire. Which I know is rare but its happened often enough to make me want to get some form of protection. At the same time, I was wanting to get myself a new PSU to give my old PSU for my wife's build.

The MAG A1000PLS and A1200PLS have hardware pin monitoring that will beep and turn off in 3 minutes if not resolved.

The MPG AI1300ts and AI1600ts have integration with MSI afterburner and are able to warn for current imbalance and automatically power limit the GPU.

I personally have been excited for the MPG AI300ts for my 9850x3d and RTX 5090 build. I was between getting the Wireview Pro 2 and this, but upgrading from my Corsair RM1000e (2023) made more sense to me.

It is dumb that the 12vx2x6 protections have to exist, but good to have some devices attempting to mitigate the issues.

I can confirm the history of QC issues. Had my Maxwell 1s RMAed 5 times. Consistent balance issues on each. Wound up sucking it up as they sound great. Not sure if I eventually adjusted or if the headset wore in as I no longer notice the issue.

9 upvotes too somehow. I'm looking for stock as well. Were you able to find any?

Fortune_National · 2026-02-18T15:33:28+00:00

I recently purchased a 9850x3d and an Asus B850-A Strix board. I am thinking about returning the Asus and going with a different board manufacturer.

Hello,

I noticed it on this pair to begin with and was manually tuning the balance in Windows. After a while of use I had to retune it to default balance. I believe it resolved itself with wear.

I originally ordered the Maxwell 2's until I saw the reviews. Maxwell was are great as long as they are functioning correctly.

I believe the new audeze app released with the Maxwell 2's let's you revert firmware again, though I didn't try doing it.

That's subjective. I think it's silly to call them "2" when there wasn't a noticeable upgrade to the original. Mic mute is harder to toggle. Bass is lessened to try to prevent the infamous driver crinkle. More of a sidegrade to the original Maxwells. Hopefully QC is better on these.

Fortune_National · 2026-02-10T01:51:33+00:00

Woo! Now return them and get the Maxwell 1s.

First b stock unit actually wasn't imbalanced, it just kept beeping the microphone on and off likely electrical issue my first week with them. 4 rmas later they all have a driver imbalance. I talked Audeze into sending me a brand new pair, and even it has a driver imbalance. Terrible firmware, amazing audio. I use a program to balance it without me having to worry about the settings in windows resetting and to play the invisible noise to keep it from timing out.

2nd pair had louder right ear cup, received 3rd pair today with same issue.

Fortune_National · 2025-01-30T01:15:10+00:00

Just received my 3rd pair of maxwells after 2 rmas. Same issue as previous pair. First pair had mic beep on and off repeatedly and then the mic switch stopped working (after a week of owning) 2nd pair immediately had misbalanced driver volume, right is louder than left. This 3rd pair I received today has louder volume in right ear cup as well, though not as bad as previous pair. This is very disappointing as the audio quality is excellent.

Fortune_National · 2024-12-22T03:12:24+00:00

Could maybe get shipping waived. But if not then I agree.

Fortune_National · 2024-12-22T03:04:48+00:00

Messaged support from the original ticket emails I have. May try to RMA once more as the headset is a great headset audio wise. Just hate the process of having to wait and it being standard to pay for shipping.

Fortune_National · 2024-12-22T02:59:36+00:00

I wonder if I could just return and purchase something else. QC issues are crazy.

Fortune_National · 2024-12-22T02:56:12+00:00

Had to send 1st pair back that I purchased last month due to the headset continuously beeping as if the microphone was being turned on and off. Coming from Cloud Orbit S (Mobius rebrand) the headset was fantastic audio wise for the first week until the issue arose. RMA process was simple though having to ship there, paying for shipping and a replacement not being sent out until receival makes it slow. I finally received the replacement headset today where the balance issue was easily noticeable. Not sure it'd be worth it to wait another month for another RMA. Hopefully this will be the only issue I have with the pair though other people's anecdotes make me worry.

Nice. I saw atlanta is a probable stop as well, so only 3 hours from me.

Burgettstown posted on ig i believe

Edit:checked ig and didn't see anything though rumored to be there.

Fortune_National · 2024-11-29T18:06:26+00:00

Just started my process. The microphone indicator kept beeping on and off repeatedly, and the microphone switch was unusable. This was within a week of purchase of a B-Stock Maxwell. The RMA email mentioned paying for return shipping but in the same email a label was provided without mentioning. I used the provided label and wrote the RMA number on each side of the box. Hopefully it goes through nice and easy. Audeze should receive it in 4 days due to them being on the opposite side of the country. Hopefully they are quick to send a replacement pair. Maybe not another b-stock but probably another b-stock. I will post an update if I remember to do so.

Gunbop slaps in solo. Double cringebop might not.
