APS (Active Phase Switching)
Active Phase Switching, APS, technology is an intelligent design
that helps to save energy on MSI’s motherboards. The underlying
idea is to switch 
off the power supply as soon as no electricity is needed, and when
the system needs more resources again, APS will automatically
adjust electricity supply accordingly. APS will automatically
detect your processor’s loading at any given time and save energy
accordingly. This is only possible by means of a very advanced
power controlling technology. Other than software-based solutions,
APS technology stands out from MSI's own research. The specially
developed IC chip can operate automatically depending on the
demands of the power supply, which is to reduce the total power
usage.

Easy OC Switch
 Every
user desires more performance. MSI has special Easy OC
Switches to provide that accessibility to all users. This great
technology makes it easier to tweak the core clock settings.
There's no need to have a detailed understanding; with just a few
simple steps, everyone is able to get the most out of their
motherboards. With a single click, the whole system will increase
by 5%-20% performance, making overclocking a very easy thing to
do.

Super Charger
Mobile consumer appliances are getting more and more attention
in current day fast moving life style, with smart phones and
tablets almost becoming a fashion accessory. However, many ordinary
personal computers cannot charge some of these devices, making it
difficult to stay connected. The MSI Super Charger is a Windows
resident program capable of revising the power supply mode of your
USB port to become more powerful. Once your phone or tablet is
connected to your USB port, the Super Charger sends a signal to
initiate its charging circuit, making it a really smart and
convenient charging solution for mobile computing needs.
Note: Only front red USB ports support charger function
after system off

Live Update 5
 MSI
Live Update 5 is a powerful and useful application for
updating the latest BIOS and Drivers, saving you time and lowers
the risk of updating. End-users can install and run the Live
Update 5 software on their computers with the companion CD or
downloading the app from the MSI website.
Features
- Automatically Detect the BIOS/Driver/VGA/Utility Update
- Support Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7 32/64bit

M-Flash
Compared to common motherboard which need extra BIOS chips,
MSI’s M-Flash has a double advantage which doesn’t need extra
components and secondly, all your BIOS data will be saved in the
USB drive. The stored data does not only have backup and upgrade
function, moreover it can also be seen as a portable BIOS chip
which is actually able to boot up your PC.
Features
- Backup/Restore Your BIOS to/from Any USB Flash Disk
- Avoid Unnecessary Repair Due to Accident Failures During The
Upgrading Process
- Earn more BIOS Lifespan by Reducing Unnecessary Rewriting

Solid Capacitors on PWM
Capacitors are the most important component for electronic
product’s power supply. The quality of the capacitors can impact
the stability of the entire system and risk of product failure.
Currently there are two types of capacitors, electrolytic
capacitors and solid capacitors. Compared to electrolytic
capacitors, solid capacitors have a longer lifespan, and provide a
more stable power under high temperatures. More importantly, solid
capacitors do not have any liquid materials inside, and thus will
not suffer a leak which would infringe upon the product’s
stability. With such benefits is it no wonder that solid capacitors
are very important for product quality’s improvement,
