This MSI PRO 850W Platinum unit stands out as a quiet, fully modular power supply with solid build quality for the price. The cabling is jacketed rather than sleeved, and the included connector mix may be awkward for builds that need extra SATA or Molex leads. Noise reports land around 35 dB, which reads as very quiet in a typical room. The 7 year warranty and B plus tier listing add some caution, making it a practical fit if you want efficient power without premium extras.
Common Questions (4)
It is described as solid for the price, with one owner saying a different wattage version has been reliable for two years. The PSU is also listed as B+ on psutierlist.org, and the 7-year warranty is shorter than some expect for a Platinum unit.
It is reported as very quiet in normal use, with one estimate putting it around 35 dB, roughly like a refrigerator hum. That level is usually hard to notice unless the room is already very quiet.
No sleeved cables are included; the cables are jacketed instead and are meant to be used with cable combs. The cabling is still described as nice, but the lack of sleeves is a downside at this price.
The included cable set may be limiting for NAS-like setups: one run has three SATA plus one Molex, which was not enough for a user's drive layout. For that use case, an adapter or different cable mix may be needed.

1. Sleeve Bearing Fan: Instead of using higher-end Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) fans that are standard in Tier-A units, it uses a 120mm sleeve-bearing fan (Hong Hua D12SH-12). Sleeve bearings tend to wear out faster and get noisier over extended use.
2. Mixed Capacitors: It advertises a Japanese 105C main bulk capacitor, but secondary/filtering capacitors on the board rely on lower-tier Taiwanese or Chinese brands rather than 100% top-tier Japanese capacitors across the board.
3. Value-Focused OEM Platform: Huntkey builds this power supply on a budget-conscious half-bridge LLC layout. While stable, it doesn't match the ultra-low ripple or tight voltage regulation of high-end platforms built by OEM giants like Seasonic, CWT, or Super Flower.
Edit: Looks like the individual cables are jacketed and they expect you to use combs instead of sleeves.
2. Because they are a main supplier of different components - motherboards, psus, GPUs, etc.
3. Because, for the most part, their products are well made and tend to last a long time.
Just my experience, but I have a number of PC component parts made by MSI, and never had
trouble with any of them. The oldest one, a Z87 motherboard from a computer I built in 2015 is still
running like the day I installed it.
