Epilogue
As I mentioned in the higher-capacity models of the line, MSI’s new A-GLS line successfully addresses the central issue of the A-GL line, which was the increased noise output resulting from aggressive fan speed profiles. At the same time, MSI attempted to lower production costs by avoiding the use of expensive parts, thereby offering the A-GLS units at affordable prices. Although I don’t have any price information yet, I am confident that MSI will adopt a highly aggressive pricing strategy to drive high sales of these new PSUs.
MSI selected two OEMs for this line, with CWT handling the two higher-capacity models, while Huntkey manufactures the 750W and 650W models. This is why the 1000W and 850W models have even more relaxed fan speed profiles than the 750W and 650W units. In any case, the A-GLS PSUs focus on lowering noise output while keeping decent performance levels, and all these, without breaking the bank.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a street price at the time of the review for any of the A-GLS models, which would enable me to judge their performance-to-price ratio accurately. However, MSI is likely to offer it at a highly competitive price to compete with other popular offerings in this category, especially the ones provided by Corsair. The A750GLS offers a similar overall performance to the A750GL, and it manages to take the performance lead from the Corsair RM750e. The 12V rail’s transient response is decent at high loads, load regulation is within 1% on all primary rails, ripple suppression is good enough, the hold-up time exceeds 17ms, the inrush currents are low, and the platform is efficient. The significant issues are the increased conducted EMI emissions, the protection feature settings on the minor rails, and I also don’t like the two EPS connectors on the same cable, since these connectors can draw lots of power so a single cable for both can lead to problems.
Before investing in a new power supply, read my Best ATX v3.x PSUs article to check all alternative PSU offerings. You help me a lot by using my affiliate links, which don’t increase the price of the product. I receive a commission from Amazon every time you do it, which can make a significant difference for me, especially now that I am working independently, exclusively for my media, rather than for someone else.

Hey Aris, hope you are doing well. Im in Iran and we have power outages and spikes almost every day. I want to buy a power supply but I don’t know what to look for to reduce the risk of damaging my computer components. This PSU has good specs but poor hold up time. Can you please recommend me some 750W PSUs in this price range?
I would be VERY grateful.
Hi there! Hold-up time plays a significant role if you have a UPS device connected, so it provides enough changeover time from mains to battery. If not, then I am afraid it doesn’t help much. Look for the Corsair RM750x.
Thanks for your reply! 😀
No I don’t have a UPS.
Corsair is a great brand, but the model you mentioned is really expensive.
I know you’re very busy, but it would mean a lot to me if you could help further.
Here are my options: MSI MAG A750GL, Deepcool PQ750G, ADATA XPG Core Reactor II, Cooler Master GX II, XG750, and Thermaltake Toughpower GF3
May God bless you abundantly for your help. 🙏🏻
ADATA XPG Core Reactor II
Thank you!
Thanks again
So I just checked and seems like only the VE model is available meh
Okay found the Non VE version but also found two other options.
MWE V2 and The Corsair SF850L
Istg this is the last time im asking
Thanks a ton
Yello, I’m in India and only have two same priced PSU options: MSI MAG A750GL and Deepcool PN750M, everything else is priced at 1.5 to 2 times these psu. They are almost identical units, but I’m still confused which to get. Which would you suggest?
THANKS! 😁
MSI
Hi Aris, quick clarification, when I asked about the MSI A750GL vs PN750M (under the GLS review), did you mean the GL or the GLS model in your reply? I only have the GL variant available.
The one you had in your answer.
