MSI has just revealed that they’re one of the first power supply manufacturers to feature the new PPLP ATX 3.0 certification, which will be featured on their latest MAG A1000GL PCIE5 and MAG A850GL PCIE5 power supplies.
PPLP, which is short for “PSU Performance Level Plan,” is designed to identify and showcase outstanding, high-performance, and highly reliable power supply units in the market. This gives consumers more metrics to gauge the quality of the product, much like the Cybernetics and 80 Plus standards do, which are also both present on these two new power supplies. The new PPLP rating offers scores from Bronze to Super Ti.
