MSI received an unexpected upgrade when Cybenetics revised the efficiency certification for its MAG GLS power supply series from Gold to Platinum, surpassing the original 80 Plus Gold rating. The entire lineup, which features 1,000-watt, 850-watt, 750-watt, and 650-watt models supporting ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 standards, met the stricter Platinum requirements with overall efficiency between 89 percent and 91 percent.
The testing organization confirmed that all four units exceeded the threshold for the higher tier, which demands greater overall efficiency, a power factor above 0.975, and reduced vampire power consumption below 0.16 watts. Prices range from $89.99 for the 650-watt model to $189.99 for the flagship 1,000-watt version, with each unit offering fully modular cables and a 10-year warranty.
