CPUID — System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting
CPU-Z for Windows® x86/x64 is a freeware that gathers information on some of the main devices of your system :
- Processor name and number, codename, process, package, cache levels.
- Mainboard and chipset.
- Memory type, size, timings, and module specifications (SPD).
- Real time measurement of each core’s internal frequency, memory frequency.
- CPU-Z is fully supported on Windows® 11.
The CPU-Z‘s detection engine is now available for customized use through the CPUID System Information Development Kit, a professional SDK built for the Microsoft Windows & Android.

Install and Remove
Since version 1.51, CPU-Z includes an installer. The installation offers several advantages in comparison to the stand-alone version :
- The installation creates program entries in the start menu and on the desktop.
- It installs the right binary (x32 or x64) depending on your system.
Installation
Run the setup executable file, and let it guide you for the installation process.
Removal
You can remove the program either from the Add or Remove Programs window (from Settings, Control Panel), or choose Uninstall CPU-Z from Start menu, Programs, CPUID, CPU-Z.
Configuration file
CPU-Z uses a configuration file, cpuz.ini, that allows to set several parameters for the program. The cpuz.ini file must be in the same directory as cpuz.exe.
Note that the use of this file is optional. If no .ini file is found, default values will be used.
It looks like this :
[CPU-Z]
TextFontName=Verdana
TextFontSize=13
TextFontColor=000060
LabelFontName=Verdana
LabelFontSize=13
PCI=1
MaxPCIBus=256
DMI=1
Sensor=1
SMBus=1
Display=1
UseDisplayAPI=1
BusClock=1
Chipset=1
SPD=1
CheckUpdates=1
TextFontName |
Font used for the information boxes. |
TextFontSize |
Size of the font used for the information boxes. |
TextFontColor |
Color of the font used for the information boxes. Value is expressed in hexadecimal, and consists in a classic Red/Green/Blue color code : RRGGBB |
LabelFontName |
Font used for the label boxes. |
LabelFontSize |
Size of the font used for the label boxes. |
Sensor |
Set to OFF (or 0) disables sensor chip detection and voltages measurement. |
DMI |
Set to OFF disables the DMI (Desktop Management Interface) information. This concerns BIOS vendor and version, motherboard vendor and revision. |
PCI |
Set to OFF disables the PCI information. This disables chipset, SPD and, depending on the hardware, sensoring information. |
MaxPCIBus |
Sets the maximum PCI bus to scan. Default value is 256. |
SMBus |
Set to OFF (or 0) disables SMBus information : SPD, and, depending on the hardware, sensoring information. |
Display |
Set to OFF (or 0) disables the video card information reported in the validator. |
ShowDutyCycles |
Set to 1, switches the alternate clock computation method based on duty cycles. 0 to disable. |
UseDisplayAPI |
Set to 1, uses the display driver to read the display adapters information. 0 to disable. |
Application parameters
-txt=report |
Launch CPU-Z in ghost mode : no interface appears, the register dump (report.txt) is automatically created.Example:cpuz.exe -txt=c:\mydirectory\mysystem: runs CPU-Z in ghost mode. Report file mysystem.txt is automatically generated in directory c:\mydirectory. |
-html=report |
Same as «-txt» but generates the html report file. |
-core=id |
Displays clock speed of core #id (id can be set from 0 to «Number of cores minus one»). It is then possible to check the speed of each core by running as many instances of CPU-Z as necessary, using batch files for example: cpuz0.bat: cpuz.exe -core=0 cpuz1.bat: cpuz.exe -core=1 Note that the current core can be dynamically selected by right-clicking in the CPU page, and select the target core. This feature is available from version 1.42. |
-console |
Generates output in a command prompt (Windows XP only). |
Special Keys
The F5 key allows to save a screenshot as a bmp file in the application directory. These are named cpu.bmp, cache.bmp, mainboard.bmp and memory.bmp.
The F6 key copies the current page in the clipboard.
The F7 key saves the validation cvf file in the current directory.
The F9 key switches between CPU clock computation methods.
Cache Latency Computation
The cache latency computation tool allows to gather information about the cache hierarchy of the system. For each cache level, it provides its size and its latency. Please note that code caches are not reported.The latency tool can be downloaded here.
1.
CPU-Z reports my CPU running below its clock specification or the clock speed is varying.
This is the effect of the CPU power reduction mechanism : C1E (Enhanced Halt State) and/or EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) for Intel CPUs, Cool’n’Quiet and or PowerNow! for AMD CPUs. Load your system and you will see the frequency increase to its nominal value.
2.
CPU-Z reports a wrong CPU vcore.
Please download HWMonitor then save monitoring data (menu file -> save monitoring data) and send back the file to us via the bug report form.
3.
CPU-Z causes a general protection fault, or freezes my system, or causes a blue screen.
edit cpuz.ini, and replace:
DMI=1
Sensor=1
SMBus=1
Display=1
UseDisplayAPI=1
with:
DMI=0
Sensor=0
SMBus=0
Display=0
UseDisplayAPI=0
Then run cpu-z again. If it works, restore the «1» one by one, until the problem occurs again. Then send an email and mentioning which «1» is responsible.
4.
Why does CPU-Z misreport my memory module specification ? For example, my DDR2-800 is reported as DDR2-667.
The memory theorical bandwidth is computed using the module access time information for the maximal CAS# latency value, included in the SPD area. If the computed bandwidth is lower than the one specified on the memory module, that means that the SPD information on the module is not correctly programmed, or most likely that the bandwidth is not given at the default memory voltage, but at a voltage defined in an extended profile (EPP or XMP).

Introduction
CPU-Z is a free utility that you can use to check on the specifications and performance of the memory and processor(s) in your system. It is available at cpuid.com. This post covers using CPU-Z in Windows and how to interpret the results.
CPU-Z originated in the hardware overclocking community as a way to document how fast your CPU was running. It is still useful for that purpose, but it is also useful for I.T. professionals and more casual users. CPU-Z helps you understand whether any form of processor power management is in effect on your system. You can also run a quick synthetic CPU benchmark test that is useful for comparing different processors and systems.
YouTube Video
I have published a YouTube video that complements this post that you might find interesting. Please let me know what you think in the comments on YouTube.
If you have never used CPU-Z (or even heard of it), I urge you to watch my YouTube video. I walk through each step, from downloading CPU-Z, to running the program and interpreting the results.
After watching the related video and reading this post, you should feel confident using CPU-Z in Windows.
CPU Tab
The CPU tab gives you many of the more important specifications for your processor, including the exact name and model number. In this case, we have an AMD Ryzen 9 3950X processor. Once you know the name of your processor, you can use your favorite search engine to find more details about it.
The links below will take you to the Intel and AMD product pages for their most common processors.
- Intel ARK – Processors
- Intel ARK – Intel Core Processors
- Intel ARK – Intel Xeon Processors
- AMD Ryzen Mobile Processors
- AMD Ryzen Desktop Processors
- AMD Ryzen Threadripper Processors
- AMD EPYC Server Processors
I also have a few relevant blog posts that cover my recommended processors for SQL Server.
- Recommended Intel Processors for SQL Server
- AMD EPYC 7F52 for SQL Server Usage
- Recommended AMD Processors for SQL Server
The CPU tab also shows the current clock speed of your various CPU cores. This is extremely valuable for determining if there is any sort of power management in effect on your system.
Caches Tab
The Caches tab gives you a little bit more detailed information about the different caches in the processor than the CPU tab does. This is contained in the descriptor field. To be honest, this extra information is not that useful to most people.
Mainboard Tab
The Mainboard tab identifies the motherboard manufacturer and model. If you have a virtual machine (VM) you will also be able to tell that on this tab.
The BIOS section gives you the version and date of your BIOS. Once you know the manufacturer and model of your motherboard, you should be able to check whether or not you have the latest BIOS version.
I am a big proponent of staying as current as possible with my BIOS versions. Both Intel and AMD often fix or improve things in the microcode that they supply to the system vendors that eventually show up as BIOS updates.
For example, AMD has made many improvements in their AGESA releases for Zen 2 processors that have improved memory compatibility, improved performance, and reduced boot times.
Memory Tab
The Memory tab identifies the type and overall amount of memory that you have in your system. It also shows how many channels your RAM is using. With most mobile and desktop processors, you want to be in dual-channel mode rather than single-channel mode.
This tab also shows the current DRAM frequency. With most DIY motherboards from vendors like ASUS, ASRock, Gigabyte, and MSI, there is usually an option to enable Extreme Memory Profiles (XMP). This will let your memory run at a higher XMP speed rather than the default JEDEC speed.
You probably won’t have this option on on most systems from large vendors like Dell or HPE. This includes servers. You can still check your memory speeds though, since it is possible that the CPU can officially support higher speed memory.
Depending on the processor, having XMP enabled can have a very noticeable positive impact on performance. I have a lot more details about this in this blog post.
In the example below, my DRAM frequency is only 1064.5 MHz. This is bad, since I have DDR4-3600 memory in my system. If XMP were enabled, I would expect to see a DRAM frequency of about 1800.0 MHz (since it is double data rate RAM).
SPD Tab
The serial presence detect (SPD) tab gives you more detailed information about each memory module in your system. It shows you how many memory slots you have, and the details about the memory module in each slot.
There is also a Timings table that shows DRAM frequency and latency information for official JEDEC profiles and for XMP. You want your DRAM frequency from the Memory tab to be as close as possible to the XMP frequency on the SPD tab.
Note: It is fairly common for server processors to not show any SPD information, so all of the fields may be blank and greyed out. This also happens with VMs.
Graphics Tab
The Graphics tab shows limited information about the various GPUs in your system, as you might expect. This includes the model name and manufacturer, and how much VRAM it has. You will only see this if you have a vendor-specific video driver installed. Otherwise, it will probably be listed as a Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.
To be honest, if you want much more detailed information about your GPU(s), you should use GPU-Z from TechPowerUp. GPU-Z looks very similar to CPU-Z, by design, but it is tightly focused on GPU information and sensor information.
Bench Tab
The Bench tab lets you run a very quick (about 15 seconds) synthetic CPU benchmark against your system. First, the benchmark runs a CPU Multi Thread test that measures the overall CPU capacity of your system. This will peg your CPUs at 100% for about 7-8 seconds. Second, it runs a CPU Single Thread test that measures the single-threaded CPU performance. This is a measure of how “fast” your processor is.
For accurate results, you should only run these tests when your system is idle (from a CPU perspective). If your processor cores are busy doing other work, your CPU-Z benchmark scores will be artificially low. You also should run this test several times, with short gaps in between each test, so you can average the results.
Obviously, this is just a very quick synthetic CPU test. But I still find it useful for comparing different processors and different systems. For example, if you had two supposedly identical systems that were getting wildly different results, that would be a reason to do some further investigation. You might find that one system had BIOS-level power management enabled, or Turbo boost disabled.
About Tab
The About tab shows information about the version and release date of the program, along with the author (Franck Delattre). There are also several tool buttons. They let you save detailed reports in various formats and let you upload and validate your results. Remember, the original reason for this program was to let CPU over-clockers prove what they had done.
The Clocks button opens up a window that displays the real-time clock speeds of every core in your system. In addition, it also shows your memory speed and some GPU-related speeds.
Final Words
This free utility is extremely useful for determining how your memory and processors are performing. It will let you quickly identify problems with DRAM frequency and with power management. Whether you are a server admin, DBA, or just someone interested in computer hardware, you should be using CPU-Z.
