King in Power SavingTwo years ago our goal was to be different because everybody was focusing on more phases, more power. We dreamed of making the most power saving and cool running mainboards. And we succeeded !

“The real-time adjustments are even faster and more acute than even what Gigabyte offers”

“Unlike other solutions, APS works”

“Our idle numbers with the power saving numbers have MSI in the lead, something we have noticed across their DRMOS product lines.”

“Using DrMOS, this has allowed MSI to cool the board down quite a bit. In fact, it is the coolest running X58 we’ve tested so far.”

“only MSI’s P45 Diamond with its DrMOS voltage regulator switching introduces substantial savings... Again, Ultra Durable 3 didn’t make a difference.”

3

Awarded and innovative technologies like DrMOS, APS and Green Power design made MSI the most power efficient. This has been proven by several hundred independent media benchmarks in all different platforms like P45, X58, AMD800, P55/H55.

Leader in power efficiency

4

Real innovation never goes unnoticed and 2.5 years later we want to welcome Gigabyte and EVGA to MSI’s DrMOS party! Who is next ?

Damaged Polymer Layer• Current Leakage• Heat generation

Recovering Polymer Layer• Cracks are repairing

Healed Polymer surface• Back to overclocking!

Conductive Polymer Self Repair processIf regular Solid Caps get damaged they stop working. MSI’s Hi-C Caps are unique because they can repair themselves thanks to the Nobel prize winning polymer molecules.

12

Tantalum “tæntələm” is a rare and hard metal which is highly stable, and highly conductive and can withstand extreme high and low temperatures. Therefore it is perfect for extreme overclockers.

Core of Tantalum

Melting point temperatures

Solid Cap Aluminum (Al) 933 Kelvin (~640°C )

Hi-C Cap Tantalum (Ta) 3269 Kelvin (~3000°C )

4x higher than solid caps !

13

Where are Hi-c Caps used? Hi-c Caps are used in critical industrial applications where reliability, stability matter. They range from aerospace to servers. Most likely you have a few in your pocket now.

Notebooks Servers

Nuclear power plants

No mechanical issuesSolid Caps are 8x bigger than the flat MSI Hi-c Caps. Utilizing Hi-c Caps around the LGA1155 socket prevents any mechanical issues with big coolers. LN2 overclockers can also better insulate their mainboard because they have less obstacles.

MSI & UEFI HistoryMSI was the 1st brand to introduce UEFI to the consumer mainboards. Currently most of our notebooks use UEFI and this knowledge is used on our UEFI powered P67/H67.

February 2008MSI P35 EfinityWorld’s 1st consumermainboard with UEFI

July 2008MSI P45 series3 models (P45D3, P45-8D, P45 Platinum) get UEFI

February 2009MSI Notebooks80% of the MSI notebooks use UEFI (with legacy interface)

January 2011MSI P67 / H67 seriesTop-to-bottom P67/H67 will use UEFI (Click BIOS)

24

Graphical User Interface, easier for new users User-friendly and mouse-controlled Fast Booting 2.2 TB Hard disks support Pre-OS Applications (HDD Backup, Memory test, CPU Information) Supports 18 Languages

MSI Click BIOS (UEFI)The new MSI Click BIOS (UEFI) has many benefits over a traditional BIOS. All MSI P67/H67 mainboards will use UEFI.
