MSI MPG A850GS PCIE5 ATX v3.1 PSU Review

Efficiency Normal, Light & Super-Light Loads

Efficiency is low compared to similar spec units at normal loads. It gets a bit better at light loads but is still not high enough to be competitive. Lastly, with a 2% load, things get better.

Average Efficiency

Things don’t look so good here, but still, the PSU meets the Cybenetics Gold criteria. Several Platinum-certified platforms, which are less expensive, achieve notably higher average efficiency levels.

Average PF

The digital PFC controller works well, delivering high PF readings at 115V and 230V.

Average Efficiency 5VSB

The 5VSB rail’s efficiency is high.

Vampire Power

Vampire power is low.

  1. Hey Aris,

    Would you go with this or the Asrock PG 850w? CWT has been a reliable OEM but unsure about FSP and Asrock. Thanks!

  2. Aris do you have any info for upcoming Ocypus ATX PSU, did they send you sample for Cybenetics certifications ?
