MSI Integrates GPU Safeguard+ Into Afterburner
7.1
MSI released an Afterburner update today that brings GPU Safeguard+ to the public, integrating with its MPG Ai1300TS and MPG Ai1600TS smart power supplies. The update uses a new PSU.dll plugin to read PSU telemetry and trigger a pop-up warning or automatically cut GPU power to 75% on overheat, and it also adds support for the RTX 5090 LIGHTNING series.
Key Points
- 1Enables pop-up GPU Safeguard+ via Afterburner for MPG Ai1300TS and MPG Ai1600TS PSUs.
- 2Monitors PSU telemetry with PSU.dll plugin to enforce automatic 75% power limit on detected faults.
- 3Allows users to pair smart PSUs and Afterburner for safer extreme overclocking and GPU monitoring.
Scoring Rationale
Official, usable firmware/software update enabling PSU-integrated GPU safety, but limited to select MSI MPG Ai1300/1600TS PSU models.
