MSI MAG A850GL 80 Plus Gold Power Supply Review

Transient Loads

These results measure the power supply from 0% load to 100% load on various rails to simulate a power spike from your system. Typically, we would like to see as small a spike as possible relative to the requested voltage. With modern GPUs being notorious for power spikes, this is becoming more relevant in modern PSU design.

Overall, it’s not surprising to see good clean transients here, as the PSU has performed spectacularly thus far, and continues to do so.
