Verdict
ASUS ROG Loki SFX-L 1000W Platinum
8.7 / 10 Expert Rating
The 1000W Loki SFX-L is the halo SKU of ASUS's small-form-factor line, aimed at ITX builders who want to run a flagship GPU without moving up to a full ATX case.
MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5
8.2 / 10 Expert Rating
MAG A850GL is MSI's budget-tier Gold PSU, giving native ATX 3.0 12V-2x6 support at a lower price than the MPG A850G by trimming the warranty to 5 years and dropping the Zero Frozr fan-stop mode.
