Aris did a review of the 650W PSU by MSI, here;

Most of the reviews on Amazon rate it bad, which might indicate a faulty lineup(series) or a faulty batch of units. If you have access to other well known brands like Seasonic or Corsair and you're able to return the MSI, then might as well do it instead f casting doubt on your investments.

17% of total reviews not being 5 star when less than 1% of customer leave a positive review when the product works as it should is not "most of the reviews".
