The latest MAG GL Series power supply unit series helps complete MSI's offering of PCIe 5.0 ready power supply units across its entire lineup, besides being ATX 3.0 compatible and PCIe 5.0 ready with native 16 Pin connectors designed in yellow to improve assembly identification. This is an 80 Plus Gold certified power supply unit that is fully modular, single-railed with DC to DC structure. Just from the mentioned features alone, you can tell that it is a power supply unit designed to fully tackle the latest high-performing graphics cards while maintaining a stable supply of power. The power supply is 140x150x86 mm, which means it can also easily fit in most of the micro-ATX chassis.

The MAG GL series ATX 3.0 power supply which fully supports NVIDIA GeForce 40 series graphics cards and complies with PCIe 5.0 and Intel PSDG (Power Supply Design Guide) ATX 3.0 standard. ATX 3.0 standard means the power supply can hold up to 2x total power excursion and 3x GPU power excursion while using native 16 Pin PCIe connectors that can pipe up to 600 W of power and reduce the use of adapters, optimizing assembly space. Now MSI ATX 3.0 power supplies are across the entire series, offering many options for choosing the power supply they need. (MAG A850GL PCIE5 and MAG A750GL PCIE5 only).



MSI Dual-color 16-pin cable
Examining the reported cases of power supply connectors being burnt when paired with high-end graphics cards, we've identified the main reason: the connectors not being plugged in properly and the connector pins suffering from fallouts. With this new cable, we successfully tackle both issues head-on.

The cable's connector color has been changed to yellow so that users can easily see if the connector has been plugged in properly. Besides, the MSI patented pending Dual-color 16-pin cable also won Wccftech awards in the 2023 COMPUTE

The fact that you can still wiggle out the connector when it's fully plugged in is a disgrace.

wiggle out, that's probably the word for what the influencers are doing.
it pains me to look, the very thing that's weakening the grip of the connector. just pull out. what's the wiggling for.

i think the issue is more that they aren't very stable, and when you are cable managing that thing can move enough to cause it to immolate itself. And people have been cable managing for decades and this was never and issue.
Also manufacturing tolerances can vary, some cables are hard to come out.

My pull out game is weak, so I wiggle.

This is only part of preventing the problem.

Even perfectly seated connectors melt, and it's always with 4090's.

The only thing I wiggle is the 24-pin ATX power connector. I can't wait for ATX 12VO to take over!

As for the MSi power supplies: what does "GL" stand for? Good luck? Nor very reassuring. :wtf:

I don't know about that I just think that they were initially seated perfectly but get knocked loose very easily during cable management, pc physical movement etc. Obviously a clear design flaw regardless but still.

it isn't even that hard to engineer a cable that doesn't power on unless it's fully seated. This is just laziness at this point.

That or not wanting to recognise the mistake and/or redesign the cable on pressure from nvidia and the psu manufacturers so as to not have the current inventory look bad and make it trash as no one would want to keep or buy the old version. I would go with the 2nd option.

It's also disgusting what the media did to whitewash this, especially GN.

I wonder if the heating up and cooling down of the connector can cause it to force itself out, as the plastic expands and skrinks all the time.

Coloring the connector yellow is a clever idea. An unfortunate necessity and humorous tbh but clever. I can see it now...

NO! STOP! DON'T HIT THE POWER BUTTON! I STILL SEE SOME YELLER!!! PUSH IT IN HARDER!

It's cheaper than designing a safer connector, that's for sure. :laugh:

There's no need to design, Molex-style connectors have been dumped from most industries except computers.
You won't seen anything that cheap in a car, truck, train, etc... Molex were just not designed for continuous high-current loads

Anyone had a chance to try these A-GL PSUs? I'd like to replace my FSP Hyper to finaly start my journey into modular units!
