Board Software

MSI has also really tightened up their software offerings for their motherboards with a large number of tools available for nearly every aspect of your system. Rather than just plopping a huge number of shortcuts onto your desktop, MSI now offers everything contained within App Manager, which really does manage those apps. The software will notify you of updates to the tools when updates are available and provides a simple one-click option to have them all automagically updated for you, which makes sure you have the most current versions installed easily and conveniently.


MSI also provides several MSI-branded versions of third-party software, such as CPU-Z and Intel's XTU, shown above.


You do also get the very useful Nahamic2+ software for audio tweaking (not like this board needs it by default) and the DragonEye software for viewing video in games that support it.


You also get the WTFast gaming software, a software that is touted to help with eliminating internet latency by providing a direct path to gaming servers for many popular titles that use online connectivity. This particular software I have put to some use, and I found it to work depending on your geographic location and which game you play, and it also updates regularly, so you get the best there is on offer every time you play.
