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, & 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 & save energy accordingly. This is only possible by means of a very advanced power controlling technology.
