The MSI MAG 1200PLS is a Platinum-rated PSU built by CWT on a brand-new platform, and its standout feature is GPU SAFEGUARD, a system that monitors each +12V pin on the 12V-2x6 connector and sounds an alarm if there's a dangerous current imbalance, addressing the melting-connector issues that have plagued high-power GPUs. It runs quiet and efficient even at full 1200W load, but MSI cut corners with mid-tier capacitors (Teapo/ChengX) instead of top-tier brands, which hurts its voltage ripple performance, and it's missing Hybrid-Fan mode that most Platinum PSUs offer. Bottom line: it's a bit pricey and not the best performer for its class, but the GPU SAFEGUARD feature alone makes it worth considering if connector safety is your top concern.

The MAG B850 Gaming Plus Max WiFi costs $260 and lacks important features like 20 Gbps USB and a true mid-range audio codec, which makes it relatively unattractive at the price point. However, it stands out in its looks, the addition of 5G LAN, and the dedicated BCLK generator. Its remaining features are also good enough and in line with its price tag.

The MSI MPG X870E Carbon Max WiFi is a decent refresh from MSI, which offers great performance with its 18+2+1 VRMs. While it also comes with impressive I/O and high-speed memory support of up to 8400 MT/s. All of this, including the 64 MB BIOS & dedicated OC Engine chip upgrades, makes it a decent pick for $429.99.

The MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk Max WiFi II is an excellent mid-range motherboard, featuring a slightly different design, BIOS ROM, and overclocking options compared to the original product. Thanks to its 14+2+1 VRM phase at 80A SPS, you can easily overclock any Ryzen 9000 series CPU. Even if you're a beginner overclocker, the OC Engine chip will handle all the hard work while you reap the rewards. With decent connectivity, storage options, and thermals, it's an amazing motherboard for its price.

The EZ120R ARGB fans offer simplified cable management and impressive cable-free visuals thanks to their 360-degree ARGB backlighting. They use the same modular design as the EZ120 ARGB fans, and you’ll work with a total of seven magnetic blocks to set them up, in addition to the fans’ own magnetic connections. If your budget allows, these fans are an excellent choice for adding both style and performance to your build.
