CPU-Z Screenshots

CPU-Z Screenshots

It has to be the most boring part of this review, but each time we do not include these screenshots of CPU-Z, we receive emails requesting them. So from now on we'll include them as standard, for your reference. Never say we do not listen ;)

Here we have the Phenom II X6 1090T at its default base clock frequency. The processor is improperly tagged as 1095T. At this stage power management was disabled, otherwise CPU-Z would have shown a clocked down processor preserving energy. Let me show you that.

Once the processor is allowed to clock down (CE1/EIST/Cool 'n Quiet etc etc) in the BIOS, it will throttle down in idle to a good 800 MHz, saving on power consumption. The minute something is happening the thread will start running faster so quick that you won't even notice it.

CPU-Z is always handy for verifying specifications. Let's see, yep... all proclaimed caches are there. That is a lot of cache for a processor.

Even more handy, you can always verify your memory frequency and timings. We run Corsair Dominator DIMMs at 1333 MHz.

And yes Sir, confirmed, the motherboard we use. If interested: you can download CPU-Z here.
