The CPU tab shows you information about the processor installed in your computer such as the make and mode, code name, socket type, core speed and cache. The program consists of 8 separate tabs that each perform their own function.

It’s very easy to use and gives some pretty detailed information.

Of course you don’t always have to replace the parts with the same make and model if you can find something compatable.ĬPU-Z is a free utility that you can run on your computer to get information about your hardware devices when it comes to your processor, RAM, motherboard and video card.

Sure you can go online and try and get as much information from the vendors website as you can in regards to the specs but why not just run a program and have all the information you need at your fingertips? That way you will be ready for the next hardware failure and have all the information you will need to replace any parts with the same make and model assuming you can find them based on how old your computer is. If you make a listing of everything you have in your computer it’s much easier to try and find a replacement when something goes bad. Then again you might not really care! Sure you may know that you have an Intel i5 processor and 8GB of RAM for example but do you know the type or speed of your RAM or how much is in each slot or even how many RAM slots you have? Or do you know the make and model of your motherboard or how who makes the BIOS or how old it is when it comes to updates? This type of information can come in real handy when troubleshooting hardware problems especially when it comes to replacing faulty components. Unless you are the type that builds your own computers you may have no idea what type of hardware you have inside of yours.
