How to check the computer configuration with CPU-Z, View computer hardware information using CPU-Z

When buying a new or old computer, you want to verify that all advertising information is true, simply download the CPU - Z software to identify all the information. before deciding to buy that computer. The following article contains detailed instructions How to check the computer configuration with CPU-Z, View computer hardware information using CPU-Z.

- Before you can see the computer configuration information, hardware information you need to download the software and install it. To download the software click on the link:

- After downloading, you need to install -> software interface:

1. CPU card

- With the CPU card you can view all information about the processor (CPU):

+ Name: Brand of CPU on your device.

+ Code Name: Code name of the CPU on your computer.

+ Packpage: The type of CPU socket or socket - this is a very important parameter when you want to upgrade your CPU

+ Technology: The size of the CPU core, for example here the CPU core size is 14nm, note the smaller the core size, the cooler the CPU runs -> your computer works better.

+ Core Voltage: Voltage raising CPU.

+ Specification: Full name of the CPU on your device.

+ Stepping: The information of these chip types is released to the market, the higher the value, the more likely it is that your version has been fixed.

+ Revision: Is the version information of the chip.

+ Instructions: The instruction is the processor chip support.

+ Core Speed: CPU processing speed, this speed may not be equal to the default speed of the CPU because this speed changes to save power. Only when using many programs that need a lot of resources, the CPU pushes up to the maximum speed.

+ Multiplier: As a multiplier, changing this multiplier helps the CPU to adjust the processing speed accordingly to save power without impact from the user.

+ Bus Speed: With CPU z you can think of Bus Speed as BLCK ( Base Clock).

+ Level 2: Memory parameters, the higher this parameter, the better the CPU works to avoid congestion. Here the Pentium G456 chip should have more level 3 memory which will help the CPU work better.

2. Memory Caches

- In this Card Caches allows you to check the system's cache for capacity and level, properties:

+ L1D- Cache, L1 I-Cache, L2 Cache, L3 Cache: the L1, L2, L3 bandwidth of the CPU, of which the larger the L2 and L3 the faster the CPU operates.

3. Information about the mainboard of the computer

- Click to switch to Mainboard tab to see information about the Mainboard of the computer:

+ Manufacturer: Name of the mainboard manufacturer .

+ Model: Mainboard type name .

+ Chiset: Name of chipset on main.

+ Southbridge : southbridge chip name, some mainboard lines later no longer this chipset.

4. View information about Ram memory

- To view information about RAM, click to the memory tab :

With Memory card, you only need to consider the following parameters:

+ Type: The type of RAM or the computer RAM model being used.

+ Size: The amount of RAM in use on your computer.

+ Channel: The amount of RAM plugged in can be Single (one ram) or Dual (2 ram) or triple (3 ram).

+ DRAM Frequency: This is the standard RAM speed, this parameter helps you calculate the RAM bus by the formula: Bus Ram = Dram Frequency x 2

5. Check how many Ram slots

To check the number of individual slots, click the SPD tab:

With this result, the ram on your computer is plugged in the 1st slot. With the SPD you are interested in the following parameters:

+ Slot #: Click the drop down arrow will show the number of ram slots on your computer, usually the machine will have 2 to 4 ram slots. DDR4 value is the lifetime of RAM on the computer.

+ Module Size: The amount of Ram in the slot is showing.

+ Max Bandwidth: Maximum bandwidth speed.

+ Manufacturer: Name of ram manufacturer.

6. View information about graphics cards

- Click to switch to the Graphics tab and take care of the following parameters:

+ Display Device Selection: shows the number of display cards, if there are multiple video cards it will light up and you can select the corresponding card, if only 1 card this part will be dimmed as the picture.

+ Name: Name of the graphics chip company.

There are also a number of tabs like Bench, About that contain software developer information.

The above is a detailed guide on how to check the computer configuration with CPU-Z, See computer hardware information using CPU-Z. Good luck!
