MSI MAG A850GLS PCIE5

MSI MAG A850GLS PCIE5
The MSI MAG A850GLS computer power supply has a rated power of 850W and is designed to power computer builds. It meets the ATX 3.1 standard, which specifies resistance to short-term power spikes, and includes a native 12V-2x6 connector for PCIe 5.1 interface graphics cards. The fully modular cabling lets you connect only the necessary wires, which makes installation and cable management inside the case easier. Cooling is provided by a 135mm fan with a Zero RPM function, which stops at low loads. The main capacitors used are rated for an operating temperature of up to 105°C.
Key technologies of the MSI MAG A850GLS PCIE5 computer power supply
- Native 12V-2x6 connector powers graphics cards with PCIe 5.1 support
- 80 PLUS Gold certification confirms high operational efficiency
- Zero RPM mode stops the fan under low system load
- Fully detachable cables make organising the internal case space easier
- Main capacitors withstand operating temperatures of up to 105°C
- A set of eight protections shields connected components from damage
- ATX 3.1 standard handles the high energy spikes of modern graphics cards
Choosing a power supply
When choosing a suitable PC power supply, the key parameter, besides the format, is power. This indicates the maximum number of Watts the power supply can continuously deliver to the components in the computer. It is a good idea to use a web calculator to determine the optimal power based on your chosen components.
Computer power supply readiness
The power supply's design is based on the requirements of current and future computer builds. Compliance with the ATX 3.1 standard means it supports the short, high power spikes generated by powerful graphics cards. The native 12V-2x6 connector is used to power PCIe 5.1 interface graphics cards, including upcoming generations. The dual-colour design of the 12V-2x6 cable allows for visual distinction between the power and ground pins, making it easier to check for correct connection. Thanks to these features, the power supply can be used as the foundation for powering computationally intensive builds.
Efficiency and protection
The 80 PLUS Gold certification indicates the efficiency of converting energy from the mains to the power delivered to the components, which leads to reduced heat loss and electricity consumption. System stability is ensured by a set of eight electronic protections, including overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, and overheat protection (OVP, UVP, OCP, OPP, SCP, OTP, SIP, NLO), which react to non-standard operating conditions. The main capacitors are specified for operating temperatures of up to 105°C.
Quiet operation and easy installation
A 135mm fan provides cooling for the internal components, and its blade design is engineered for operation at various load levels. At low power consumption, the Zero RPM mode activates, stopping the fan. The fully modular cabling lets you connect only the necessary cables, which makes installation and organising the space inside the case easier and reduces clutter. The embossed-sheath cables are designed to be easier to shape and route.

80 Plus certification in the European market
The 80 Plus certification was created to objectively evaluate the efficiency of computer power supplies. This gives users a simple and clear way to compare different models. In the European market (where 230V is used), there are six levels of 80 Plus certification with set requirements for PC power supplies. Higher energy efficiency primarily means lower energy consumption.
| PC power supply load | Efficiency at 20% load | Efficiency at 50% load | Efficiency at 100% load |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80 PLUS | 82% | 85% | 82% |
| 80 PLUS Bronze | 85% | 88% | 85% |
| 80 PLUS Silver | 87% | 90% | 87% |
| 80 PLUS Gold | 90% | 92% | 89% |
