Hey guys,
Bought a MSI H67 chipset modo that has the APS (Active Phase Switching) on it.
Here is a description from MSI:
Active Phase Switching, APS, technology is an intelligent design that helps to save energy on MSIs 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 processors 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.
The PC will be used mainly for gaming and casual web browsing/multimedia.
Should I leave this feature On or simply turn it off.
thanks!
