MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 850W PSU Review

Efficiency Normal, Light & Super-Light Loads

The platform achieves high efficiency at normal loads but needs boosting at light and super-light ones. It should have >70% efficiency at a 2% load.

Average Efficiency

The platform’s average efficiency is high enough to meet the Cybenetics Platinum requirements at 115V. It also meets the 230V average efficiency threshold, but it is cut because of the low power factor (see below for more).

Average PF

The APFC converter needs tuning for higher PF readings, especially at 230V.

Average Efficiency 5VSB

The 5VSB rail is not efficient.

Vampire Power

Vampire power is low.

  1. Hi, glad to find review of this one, thanks! If you were to choose between:
    a/ Thermaltake GF A3 850W for 115 EUR
    b/ MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 for 98 EUR
    which one would you choose? The PC is i7-11700 + RX 6750 XT.

    1. Well, I know this is problably the type of questions you really don’t like to answer, but I’ll be most probably changing 6750 XT to 7700 XT in the shopping list, hence budget for the PSU gets lower… What would be the cheapest 700W+ PSUs I could get and would still be decent? I would prefer semi-modular or modular.

  2. Hi there, i have a question i know the anwser but i want to ask you, the A850 is very cheap now like under 100 Euros, and the SuperFlower 1000w XP is 180e. The construction, quality is very different? Should i go for the Super, or the A850 is enough? i have a system of 550W, and i will buy a new gpu from the 5000 series. Thank you!
