MSI introduces GPU Safeguard tech on its latest PSUs to fend off RTX 5090 meltdowns — warns users with pop-up and buzzer when abnormal current is detected on the 12V-2x6 connector

MSI has introduced GPU Safeguard technology in its latest PSUs to prevent RTX 5090 meltdowns by monitoring abnormal current on the 12V-2x6 connector. Users are alerted through a pop-up in the MSI Center and an audible warning buzzer. The protection system forces a shutdown if no action is taken after three minutes of beeping to prevent hardware damage. This feature is available in four of MSI's new power supplies, offering different levels of warning alerts. The technology aims to safeguard high-powered GPUs like the RTX 5090 from potential damage.
