The app dashboard has two main sections accessible via Tabs in the top-left corner – “Monitor” and “Features”. The Monitor section hosts real-time sensor diagnostic listings for all major PC components.



Key Features

Gaming Mode | Smart Priority | User Scenario | General Settings | Game Highlights | True Color | Smart Image Finder | MSI Companion  | Noise Cancellation | System Diagnosis

A large focus is given to CPU, GPU, RAM, and Storage usage bars, and an in-depth listing of all other sensors is presented in a simpler form (all fan speeds, SSD and RAM size, power plan, CPU temperature, and more).

The second “Features” tab is home to hardware optimization. Users can simply select the “Gaming mode” option, which will empower the MSI Center desktop software to shut down unnecessary background apps and services, making the full force of hardware ready for prolonged gaming scenarios. In addition to this preset, the app also offers modes such as “Smart Priority” and “User Scenario”.

Additionally, MSI Center can also help gamers to capture their best in-game moments using the Game Highlights function. Finally, the utility can also customize the operation of headphones and monitors with the Sound Tune, True Color, and Duet Display services.
