ECO Center Pro let’s you cut the power

100% to devices.

ECO modeECO mode is the default mode to save energy. It enables all of the motherboards’functions and only turns off all LEDs and PCI slots.

Lounge modeFor multimedia solutionsto decode/encode audio & video at full performance. Lounge mode lowers fan speed for a more quiet environment, disables LEDs & LAN.

Server modeA mode for personal cloudservice or servers for small business. Server mode lowers CPU power consumption, fan speed, turns LEDs, audio & video functionality off.

All 3 modes are fully customizable to your own preference

motherboards.

With MS ECO Center Pro

you can physically cut the

power to unused chips to

save up to 40% power

usage.

10% Reduction in moisture absorption helps prevent "Conductive Anodic Filament".

Untreated PCB's can have 10x higher failure rate.

All MSI motherboards comply

with stringent American FCC regulations and reduce the impact of Electromagnetic Interference.

Each and every I/O port is protected against the hazards of Electro Static Discharge.

All key components used in MSI motherboards have all passed military testing ensuring stable

operation in the harshest environments.
