The MSI MAG A500N-H is a 500W entry-level non-modular power supply built with Active PFC construction and a single 12V rail. Designed to cover the essentials without unnecessary cost, it’s a solid choice for budget builds, office workstations, and light gaming systems that need dependable, clean power delivery.

Quiet Cooling with Hydraulic Bearing Fan

The 120mm fan uses a hydraulic bearing, which offers quieter operation and a longer lifespan compared to sleeve bearing alternatives. Thermal control adjusts fan speed based on system load, keeping noise levels down during everyday use while ramping up airflow when temperatures rise.

Active PFC and 80 PLUS Standard Efficiency

The MAG A500N-H includes Active Power Factor Correction for stable, efficient power delivery from the wall — improving compatibility with UPS systems and reducing energy waste. It carries an 80 PLUS Standard certification, ensuring a minimum of 80% efficiency at typical load levels.

Industrial-Grade Protection

Protection circuits cover OCP (over-current), OPP (over-power), SCP (short-circuit), and UVP (under-voltage), safeguarding your components against unexpected electrical events during everyday operation.

Note for buyers: With only one PCIe connector, this PSU is best suited to entry-level or integrated graphics builds. It is not recommended for mid-range or high-end discrete GPUs requiring two PCIe power connectors.
