CPU-Z (cpu detection tool)

CPU-Z (cpu detection tool) supports CPU detection software under 64-bit systems. In addition to using Intel or AMD's own detection software, it is the most commonly used software of this kind. CPU-Z supports a wide range of CPU types, and the startup and detection speeds of the software are very fast. Huajun Software Park provides you with the download of the latest version of CPU-Z!

How does cpuz determine the quality of the CPU?

1. First, open the CPU-Z software.

2. After opening the software, click the "Processor" tab in the upper left corner.

3. In the "Processor" tab, find and view the "Core Voltage" item.

4. Core voltage represents the CPU constitution. Generally speaking, the lower the core voltage, the better the CPU performance. Because the lower the voltage, it means that the CPU consumes less power at the same frequency, generates less heat, and generally has higher stability.

5. According to some empirical judgments, if the core voltage reaches above 1.2V, it is generally considered to be a better CPU.

How to adjust cpuz to Chinese?

1. First, make sure you have downloaded the English version of CPU-Z from the official website or a reliable source.

2. Download and install a localization tool, such as "CPU-Z Chinese localization package". You can search online and find such Chinese translation tools.

3. Run the installed CPU-Z software.

4. Find and run the downloaded Chinese tool. Usually, these localization tools will have an interface that allows you to select the software you want to localize.

5. In the Chinese tool, select the CPU-Z software and click the "Chinese" button.

6. After the localization process is completed, restart the CPU-Z software.

7. If the Chinese translation is successful, the CPU-Z interface should display Chinese.

Alternatively, there is a simple method:

1. Find a Chinese version of CPU-Z on the Internet.

2. Download this Chinese version of CPU-Z.

3. Install this Chinese version of CPU-Z directly.

4. After the installation is completed, open the software and the interface should be in Chinese.

How does cpu-z see dual channel?

1. First, download the CPU-Z software online and complete the installation.

2. After the installation is complete, open the CPU-Z software.

3. On the software interface, you will see multiple menu items, click the "Memory" option.

4. In the memory options interface, look for the item "Channels" or "Memory Channels".

5. If "Dual" is displayed after this item, it means that the computer memory has turned on dual-channel mode.

6. If it is the English version of CPU-Z, you need to look for the "Channel" item. If "Dual" is displayed, it also means that the memory is working in dual-channel mode.

How does CPUZ check power consumption?

1. Open the CPUZ software.

2. In the top menu bar of the software, find and click the "Processor" tab (it may appear as "CPU" in some versions).

3. Under the "Processor" tab, you will see detailed information about the CPU. In the information list, find the item "TDP". "TDP" stands for thermal design power consumption. It represents the maximum heat dissipation power of the CPU during normal operation, which is what we usually call power consumption.

4. The value of TDP is usually displayed in watts (W). This value is set by the CPU manufacturer and represents the heat dissipation level that the CPU can work stably for a long time.

How to adjust memory frequency in cpu-z?

1. Restart the computer and press the corresponding keys during startup to enter the BIOS settings. Typically, this key is F2, Del, or Esc, depending on the brand of your computer's motherboard.

2. Once in the BIOS, navigate to the option to adjust memory settings, usually under the Advanced, OC, or MHz/Memory Configuration tabs.

3. In the corresponding settings, you will find the option to adjust the memory frequency, perhaps labeled "DRAM Frequency" or something similar.

4. When changing the memory frequency, please be careful not to set it beyond the memory specifications or the frequency supported by the motherboard, otherwise it may cause system instability.

5. After the settings are completed, save the BIOS settings and exit. The computer will restart and the new memory frequency setting will be applied.

CPU-Z (cpu detection tool) function introduction

CPU-Z provides some information about the processor, including the manufacturer and processor name, core structure and packaging technology, internal and external frequencies, maximum overclocking speed detection, and can also find out the instruction set related to the processor that can be used. It can also detect information related to the motherboard and memory, including our commonly used memory dual-channel detection function, and can also display overclocking amplitude, memory operating frequency, etc.

*Identify the type and name of the processor.

*Detect the core frequency and multiplication index of the CPU.

*Detect the core voltage of the processor.

* Overclocking possibility detection (indicates whether the CPU is overclocked, but it is not necessarily completely correct).

* Detect the instruction set supported by the processor.

* Detect processor primary and secondary cache information, including cache location, size, speed, etc.

* Detect some information on the motherboard, including BIOS type, chipset type, memory capacity, AGP interface information, etc.

How to use CPU-Z (cpu detection tool)

The parameters displayed under the processor tab of CPU-Z are the core parameter knowledge of the processor. Let’s explain it in detail below.

The picture shows the CPU-Z test results of Intel sixth generation I5-6600K

①Name

After the CPU-Z test results come out, the first column is called "Name", but this "name" only has reference value. If you look at the processor model tested by CPU-Z and look at the "Name" column, it only means that you I don't know how to use this software.

CPU-Z often has such test results. The results displayed by the name and specifications are different. Why is this? I have said before that the name column can be understood as the difference between CPU-Z and its own database after getting the processor. The first reaction after the comparison is that this result is helpful for detecting processors with ES models that do not display graphics, but for our official version or products with regular graphics models, it will only be a little more misleading, so novices, Qian Don’t look at the parameters in the [Name] column!

②Code name

It is the core code name, which is used to distinguish the core architecture of processing. For example, Skylake is what we often call the core code name of the sixth-generation processor entering the Core I era. The fifth generation is Broadwell, and the fourth generation is Haswell.

​ ​ ③TDP thermal design power consumption

This parameter is very difficult to explain! Most people don’t understand what TDP is. Newbies think that the larger the TDP, the greater the power consumption, but this is not the case! The most popular explanation at this stage is: the larger the TDP of the same series of processors, the greater the power consumption. The stronger the performance. TDP is a parameter that can be modified, not the actual power consumption. As for how to modify it, Intel and OEM manufacturers can set it based on their expected performance of the processor. The TDP of the I5-6600 is 65W, but when it comes to the 6600K, it is set to 95W. Why is this? The higher the TDP is set, the less likely the processor is to downclock, which makes it less likely to cause overclocking performance of the 6600K. limit.

Many Xeon E5s have TDPs set at 130W or higher. This is because these servers and workstation processors often need to run under high load, so setting a higher TDP is less likely to cause performance degradation. In daily use, the actual power consumption of these processors is often lower than that of ordinary desktop processors with a TDP of 95W. Someone asked me why the E3-1230V3 does not have a core graphics card and has a TDP of 80W, while the I7-6700 has a core graphics card with the same frequency as the E3 but a TDP of only 65W? Because the Xeon E3 series is mainly designed for workstations with high loads. Data design and rendering will greatly rely on the stability of the processor. The performance of the E3-1230V5 with a TDP of 80W in this process must be more stable than the I7-6700! In our daily home environment, The actual power consumption of the E3 without a core graphics card is slightly lower than that of the I7.

④Slot

In fact, this translation is popularized, because the accurate English translation is in encapsulated form. In the most popular terms, LGA is what we call a contact interface processor, including most Intel desktop processors and AMD's Opteron series processors; PGA is what we call a pin-type processor, including Replaceable mobile processors and most AMD desktop processors; the BGA package is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be replaced.

⑤Technology

The smaller the nanometer number of the manufacturing process, the more refined it is and the more advanced the processor is. The fourth generation Haswell processor is manufactured using a 22nm process.

⑥Core voltage

When comparing the core voltages of processors with the same architecture at the same main frequency, the lower the voltage, the better the processor's performance. However, people often ask us with core voltages of 0.1V and 0.3V, is the performance of my processor very good? Bullshit?! Bro, I just want to tell you that this is obviously a motherboard detection error. At this stage, it is almost impossible for the core voltage of the processor to be lower than 0.7V!

​ ​ ⑦Specifications

This column is the focus of testing! An official version of the processor will display the complete processor model and set standard clock speed in the specification column.

In the picture above, if there is the word ES after the detected model, it means that this is a QS (Quality Confirmation) version of the processor. Although it is also an engineering test version processor, this processor is different from the officially released one. There are almost no differences in models, and the price is only slightly lower than the official version.

In addition, a processor like this with only one main frequency and no model display is a standard ES non-display beta processor. Because this kind of processor is a test model, there are more or less certain problems, so It is not recommended for newbies to buy these. However, these processors are cheap.

FAQ:

Answer:

Check the software version: First confirm whether the CPU-Z you are using is the latest version. Older versions of software may not correctly recognize new hardware. It is recommended to visit the CPU-Z official website to download and install the latest version.

2. Error code encountered when starting CPU-Z

Answer:

Redownload the software: If you encounter an error code such as "error code 0x241 577" when starting CPU-Z, this may be due to a problem with the software itself. Try to re-download and install the software from the official website, especially choose an older stable version, as the new version may have unfixed bugs.

Check system compatibility: Make sure your operating system is compatible with CPU-Z. Although CPU-Z mainly supports Windows operating systems, you can also try to see if there are any special instructions or patches for your operating system.

3. How to save CPU-Z detection results

Answer:

Use built-in functions: In the CPU-Z interface, there will usually be a "Tools" menu or similar option. Click this menu and select options such as "Save Report as .txt" or "Save Report as .html" to save the current test results as a text or HTML file.

Screenshot saving: If you only need to save part of the information or want to save it in the form of a picture, you can use a screenshot tool (such as the screenshot tool that comes with Windows, Snagit, etc.) to capture the information on the CPU-Z interface.
