The datasheet gives no cable counts, lengths or gauge. Those come from the Cybenetics report and the Hardware Busters review. The Features list calls the 12+4 pin connector a dual color 12V-2x6 connector.2Measurementcybenetics.com/evaluations/psus/3121Read 15 October 2026Cables and Connectors table: ATX 20+4 pin 600 mm, 4+4 pin EPS 650 mm, 8 pin EPS 650 mm, 6+2 pin PCIe 600 mm plus 150 mm with 2 plugs, 2 x 6+2 pin PCIe 600 mm, 12+4 pin PCIe (600W) 600 mm, 2 SATA cables of 500 mm plus 2 x 150 mm with 6 plugs in total 18AWG and 1 Molex cable of 500 mm plus 2 x 150 mm with 3 plugs 18AWG. The report counts two 4+4 pin EPS cables, but MSI's datasheet and Hardware Busters list one 4+4 pin and one 8 pin cable, so 2 EPS plugs are stored. Wire gauge for the ATX, EPS and PCIe cables differs between the report (18-22AWG and 18AWG) and the Hardware Busters table (16-22AWG and 16AWG), so none is stored for them. The 16-24AWG range of the 12V-2x6 cable includes the sideband wires.3Reviewhwbusters.com/psus/msi-mag-a1000pls-pcie5-atx-v3-1-psu-reviewRead 15 October 2026Cables page: same lengths as the Cybenetics report. It counts one 4+4 pin and one 8-pin EPS cable and 3 PCIe cables with 4 plugs in total. The modular panel has eleven sockets including one native 12V-2x6 header. The review prints 16-22AWG for ATX and 16AWG for EPS and PCIe wires.

It does not turn the feature off. The product page words the knob as overriding Zero RPM mode, so the fan mode switch field is left empty.
