Pros: -Flat cables -PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR cable -Quiet during fan mode on and also nice to have fan-off mode switch when low power -Clean stable power with all proper ATX3.0 timings, except one*

Cons: -Not all cables are flat, 12VHPWR and dual combo PCIe 6+2 from 12 pin connector are sleeved and not flat so it ruins the look. -*T5 timing is not up to spec that's why it's labeled as ATX 3.0 compatible not Ready, see promotional material online on their blog/website. -Only includes two dual, with pigtail, 16awg PCIe 6+2 connector cables, no single PCIe connector cables included.

Overall Review: Overall I like the PSU and when my 12 year old Antec CP-850 was failing me with my new RTX 3080, much coil wine, I got the this MSI PSU. I would have purchased a Seasonic Vertex but when I needed a PSU they weren't ready and stock was low on MSI's flagship PSU the Ai1300P PCIE5, so I got their A1000G PCIE5 one as soon as it was in stock. I totally dig the flat cables but I was sad that the 12VHPWR and the dual combo PCIe ones were not flat cabled but sleeved like a cable bundle, seems like they had a giant inventory of them and used them for all of MSI's PSU including the flagship one too. They look ugly because of the mismatch, so I removed the sleeving on both of them and now they look reasonable similar to the others, just bare loose PVC insulated black wires, fine by me. Also they only included two flat cabled and pigtailed, PCIe 6+2 connector modular cables for GPU's. I would have liked at least two single cabled, PCIe 6+2 connector modular cables for GPU's also just in case and to complete the aesthetic. My other gripe is they include two 4+4 CPU cables but why not a 8pin and a 4+4 pin cable instead. The only 16awg cables are 24pin MB one, the 12VHPWR, and the two flat cable pigtailed PCIe 6+2 cables. Every thing else is 18awg. I wish the CPU cable was 16awg too since that is most likely taking more current than the individual GPU ones, especially if you only use one CPU cable. I've tested the psu vigorously and many hours using Intel 11700K drawing ~220W running prime 95 and also my RTX 3080 running furmark drawing about ~385W and no restarts or low voltage, checked with multimeter. I run mine with the fan on always not fan-off mode and I find it very quiet so I don't need fan off mode. Surprisingly my unit is made in Vietnam and has no Chinese characters on the label. I do recommend the PSU and it should handle any current GPU today. I also hope MSI starts to offer replacement or additional PSU cables for sale on their website to augment the missing ones or allow us with some customization. Side note, MSI does include modular PSU cable pinouts on their website if your looking to mod and make your own cables.

Pros: -Variable Refresh Rate works. -Drivers are great for all the games I own and play. -Low power and great for 1440p gaming with game settings adjustment.

Cons: -Finish on limited edition feels a bit rubbery but just clean it when needed. -Still not as strong as an RTX 3080.

Overall Review: I purchased as a secondary card for fun and to place on another low end build. I did try it on my current system that has intel 11700k paired ddr4 3200 with gen4 ssd and rtx 3080. Swapped the nvidia card for this intel one and played all my games, and all worked. Frame rate was about 20 to 30 fps less than my rtx 3080. For example in Horizon Forbidden West with RTX 3080 I get about 80-120 fps with mixed high settings on 1440p. On the Arc B580 I'm getting about 56-74 fps. It's still playable and if I go down to 1080p it's much better and close to, or matching the rtx 3080 at 1440p. Power was also low at about 119 to 159 watts while gaming. I bought it for the potential and to do my part to allow more competition in the gpu market. Hope intel comes out with better and higher end stuff in future.

Pros: -Works with two U.2 Intel Optane 905P drives. -has support card L cutout for long x16 slots.

Cons: -It's a bit tall but that means the signaling is short and strong for less error on PCIe lanes.

Overall Review: I can confirm that it works on x4 by x4 configuration with gen 3 U.2 Intel Optane drives. It does require motherboard to bifurcate the slot to see each drive individually. I tried it on a gen4 slot but I don't have gen4 U.2 drives, so I don't know if there are any PCIe errors with this card on gen4. I would recommend and it does work.
