If you have got on this article, then, most likely,You are having trouble on this issue. If so, you are where you need to go. In the article we will analyze in detail how to find out the frequency of the processor, we will tell you how to do this in various ways.
According to the documentation
Initially, we analyze the most simple and ordinaryoption - according to the documentation received upon purchase of the processor. If you bought a computer in a store and took all the components at once, then the waybill will include many items. But do not rush to despair, everything is very simple.
Let us consider an example. Suppose you have entered:
INTEL i5-6600 3.5 GHz.
Z77.
520 Mb SATA.
DDR III 4 Gb.
1 Gb GeForce GTX 420.
Remember, there are two types of processors:Intel and AMD. These are the companies that produce it. As you can see, this list contains an Intel i5-6600 3.5 GHz processor. This means that the rest of the components we recline and understand the encryption of the rest. We have already found out that Intel is the name of the company, the i5-6600 is a model of the processor itself, it is not interesting to us either, but 3.5 GHz is the clock frequency.
Remember, frequency is always measured in hertz,Hz or Hz in English. The prefix G means giga, which in turn means 1000 hertz. From this it follows that the frequency of the processor is 3 500 Hertz.
So we figured out how to find out the processor frequency, but this is just the first method. We turn to the rest.
System properties
In that case, if the nomenclature for the purchasedYou have not saved the product, you can use the following method, which works properly on all Windows operating systems. Now we will analyze how to find out the processor frequency using the “System Properties” window.
You can use several options. The first implies the following algorithm of actions:
Enter the start menu.
On the sidebar, select "Control Panel".
In the window that appears, click on the "System Properties".
You can also use the same "Start" menu to use the search by typing in the search box "System Properties".
On some operating systems, all these manipulations can be avoided by simply clicking on the “My Computer” shortcut with the right mouse button and selecting “Properties” in the context menu.
So, we figured out how to get into "Propertiessystems. " Now find the line "Processor", opposite to it the full name of your system program will be indicated. And in the end its clock frequency is written in gigahertz.
We have resulted one more way how to learn frequency of the processor by means of an operating system. But this is still not a complete list, so we move on.
CPU-Z
Now we will analyze how to find out the processor clock frequency using the CPU-Z utility.
This utility is intended only for one thing: it tells in detail about the processor installed on the computer. And the main advantage of this software is that it is completely free.
First you need to download the program, sogo to the official website and feel free to download without fear of viruses. Once the download is complete, run the installer and complete the installation. Once you have done this, a shortcut to the program should appear on your desktop - double-click on it.
Once the program has opened, find the tab"CPU" and select it. You will see detailed information about your processor. If you study it carefully, you can find the string "Specification". Opposite it will be indicated the frequency in gigahertz.
This is the third way to find out the processor frequency.on Windows 7. However, if for some reason all of the above methods did not help you to do it, then only one remains. It is not the easiest, but it absolutely guarantees the receipt of the necessary information, so we turn to it.
BIOS
What is a BIOS, we think, is not worth telling. Let's do the frequency.
So restart the computer and during itStart, when the captions are flashing on a black background, press the Pause key to stop the startup process. In one of the lines, find "Main Processor", and at the end of it you will find the frequency value, which is also indicated in gigahertz.
If for some reason you don't have this line,then instead of the Pause key, press Del or F2 to go to the BIOS itself. There on the first page, find the line "Processor Type", and opposite it you will see the frequency.
That's basically it. Above all possible ways were presented, how to find out what frequency of the processor is on your computer.
