In today’s review I will look at the last member of MSI’s MAG A-GLS line, with 650W max power. Like its 750W sibling, the MAG A+50GLS, is made by one of the largest Chinese PSU OEMs, Huntkey. Read the full review to learn more.
The MSI MAG A650GLS PCIE5 is (or will be) included in my best ATX v3.x & PCIe 5.x PSU picks article.
There is no doubt that the MSI MAG A-GL is a decently performing line, but it’s not suitable for users who want silent operating products. Hence, MSI thought to offer the MAG A-GLS(ilent) line with PSUs featuring much more relaxed fan-speed profiles than the A-GL ones. I have already evaluated the 1000W and 850W models of the line and noticed that indeed, the average noise difference with the plain “GL” model, which uses a different platform, is substantial. In this review, I will evaluate the A850GLS. Briefly, the 1000W and 850W models of the line are made by CWT, while Huntkey makes the two lower-capacity ones.

A side note, all A-GLS units are tested and certified by Cybenetics.
The MAG A650GLS is Platinum certified in the Cybenetics standard, and it also has a Cybenetics A noise rating. Its dimensions are standard for a 750W PSU, measuring 150mm in depth. At the time of the review, I was unaware of the product’s price.
