DrMOS With its 3-in-1 combined design and special circuity, the DrMOS solution can drop the motherboards temperature by up to 16C when compared similar motherboards with a more traditional MOS solution. This temperature drop helps extend the life of the board and brings increased stability when overclocking. DrMOS also combines the IC, bottom MOSFET and TOP MOSFET to make a smoother faster transfer of electricity across the board. The result is improved performance when compared to traditional decentralised MOS designs. |
 |
Lossless 24-bit/192KHz HD Audio Onboard PC audio gets better! MSI is the first to implement the most high-end HD Audio codecs available. Don’t be fooled by other inferior audio solutions onboard (sometimes you can’t even find the driver!) Only MSI offers the Loss-less 24-bit/192KHz HD Audio function with an incredible 109 SNR dB value to provide the most clear & vivid HD audio quality and support 7.1 channels surround sound playback with a 2-channel independent stereo output (multiple streaming) through the front panel 3.5 inch phone jack. |

Military Class II - Hi-c CAP 8X the Lifespan of a Solid Capacitor!! Insisting on the best stability, MSI utilizes Hi-c CAPs on their Military Class series motherboards. Made of the rare element Tantalum, often used on space shuttles and satellites, which sustains very high temperatures and shows an amazingly high electrical conductivity. |
 |
Military Class II - Super Ferrite Choke The Super Ferrite Chokes (SFC) use a Ferrite core that is Super-Permeable. Compare with a traditional choke, the Super Ferrite Chokes run at a 35 degree Celsius lower temperature. The lower working temperature will enhance mainboard stability. |
 |
Military Class II - Solid CAP 10 years long lifespan. For providing the highest quality products, MSI built-in Solid CAP in the entire Military Class series. This not only makes bursting capacitors a non-issue but also ensures a dramatically extended lifetime and ultra-low ESR. |

Active Phase Switching (APS) Active Phase Switching (APS) technology is an intelligent design that helps to save energy on MSI’s mainboards. 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. |
 |
M-Flash Compared to the common mainboard which needs extra BIOS chips, MSI’s M-Flash has a double advantage.
