PC WIZARD is a powerful utility designed especially for detection of hardware, but also some more analysis. It's able to identify a large scale of system components and supports the latest technologies and standards. This tool is periodically updated (usually once per month) in order to provide most accurate results.

OCCT comes from "OverClock Checking Tool". Here is a list of its features:

Device Tools

Fixing a Bent / Broken Pins on a CPU What's the difference between E0 and C0 stepping?

CPU-Z is a freeware that gathers information on some of the main devices of your system. Name and number. Core stepping and process. Package. Core voltage. Internal and external clocks, clock multiplier. Supported instructions sets. All cache levels (location, size, speed, technology).

x(perts)64 The unofficial x64 FAQ 64 Bit architecture information.

ClockGen is an program dedicated to overclocking, (making your CPU run faster than standard SAFE settings). Keep in mind that overclocking may damage your system.

CPU Serial Number Earlier Pentium models don't have a serial number. Reading can be blocked by setting a bit the MSR to 1. This blocks reading the CPU serial number until next hard reset, (not just reboot). With CPU Serial Number you will be able to view early Pentium III CPU serial number.

Keep in mind that over clocking may damage your system. Use it at your own risk!  You will also make any warranty's void.

Lapping a CPU.

One of the main purposes of lapping a CPU is to provide a flatter, smother surface so that contact between the CPU and the heartsink is increased allowing for better heat transfer between the heatsink and the CPU. This may be more important if you are Overclocking your CPU. The same may issue apply for other heatsinks, e.g. Graphics Cards. Also see Mod and Modding.

CPU Speed Intel and AMD Central Processor Speed Analysis

CPU Speed Professional enables you to test your CPU speed to check if it comes close to the one advertised by your chip manufacturer. You can check your speed score in the worldwide ranking tables with an online database and compare it to other scores around the world if you are so inclined. CPU Speed Professional is compatible with all Intel and AMD CPUs.  If you've ever wondered exactly how fast your CPU is running, this great little application will tell you.

Intel Processor Frequency ID Utility

Hardware-Assisted Virtualization (HAV) Tool. Microsoft Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Detection Tool. This is supported by most modern processors, but it may need to be enabled in your BIOS. The BIOS menu is normally accessed by pressing DEL or ESC immediately after switching on your PC. Windows Virtual PC requires processors capable of hardware-assisted virtualization with AMD-V?, Intel VT or VIA VT turned on in the BIOS. The HAV detection tool helps you check if the computer processor supports hardware virtualization. The tool also checks if this feature is enabled on the processor. For more information about Windows Virtual PC, please visit the Windows Virtual PC website.  More Virtual Computing links

SMP Seesaw is a utility for dual-CPU or dual-core computers that controls how Windows balances the compute load between the two processors. By default, Windows balances the processing load to both CPUs as evenly as possible among all programs. SMP Seesaw provides a convenient means to change the processor affinities for all running programs at once. In particular, the most common use is to dedicate one of your processors to a single program, thereby improving the performance or responsiveness of that program.

6502.org is a resource for people interested in building hardware or writing software for the 6502 microprocessor and its relatives.

Speed Fan Monitor - Freeware SpeedFan monitors fan speeds, temperatures and voltages in computers with hardware monitor chips. It can even access S.M.A.R.T. info for those hard disks that support this feature and show hard disk temperatures too, if supported. It can even change the FSB on some hardware. At the lowest level, it is a hardware monitor software, but its main feature is that it can control fan speeds according to the temperatures inside your pc, thus reducing noise and power consumption.
