If you are on this article, then most likelyyou have difficulties on this issue. If this is true, you have come to where you want. In the article, we will discuss in detail how to know the frequency of the processor, we will tell you how to do this in various ways.
Initially, we will analyze the simplest and most ordinaryoption - according to the documentation obtained with the purchase of the processor. If you bought a computer in a store and took all the components at once, then the commodity bill will include many items. But do not be in a hurry to despair, everything is very simple.
We will analyze on an example. Let's say you have:
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, in this list there is an Intel i5-6600 3.5 GHz processor. Hence, the rest of the components are thrown back and we understand the encryption of the rest. We already found out that Intel is the name of the company, i5-6600 is a model of the processor itself, it's also uninteresting for us, but 3.5 GHz is the clock speed.
Remember, the frequency is always measured in Hertz,abbreviated Hz or Hz in English. The prefix G means "giga", which in turn means 1000 hertz. This implies that the processor frequency is 3 500 Hertz.
So we found out how to know the frequency of the processor, but this is just the first way. Let's move on to the rest.
In the event that the nomenclature for the purchasedthe product you have not saved, you can use the following method, which works correctly on all Windows operating systems. Now let's look at how to find the processor frequency using the "System Properties" window.
You can use several options. The first implies the following algorithm of actions:
Go to the Start menu.
In the sidebar, click Control Panel.
In the window that appears, click on the "System Properties" section.
You can also use the search in the same Start menu to enter "System Properties" in the search box.
On some operating systems, you can avoid all these manipulations simply by right-clicking on the My Computer icon and selecting Properties from the shortcut menu.
So, we figured out how to get into "Propertiessystem ". Now find the line "Processor", opposite it will be the full name of your system. And in the end, its clock frequency is written in gigahertz.
We gave one more way how to know the frequency of the processor using the operating system. But this is still not a complete list, so we move on.
Now we'll figure out how to find the processor clock speed with the CPU-Z utility.
This utility is intended for only one: 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 of all you need to download the program, sogo to the official website and boldly download, without fear of viruses. Once the download is complete, run the installer and run the installation. Once you have done this, the program shortcut should appear on the desktop - click on it twice.
Once the program is open, find the tab"CPU" and select it. You will see detailed information about your processor. If you study it carefully, you can find the "Specification" line. On the contrary it will indicate the frequency in gigahertz.
This is the third way to know the frequency of the processoron Windows 7. However, if for some reason all of the above methods have not helped you do this, then there is only one. It is not the easiest, but absolutely guarantees the receipt of the necessary information, so we turn to it.
What is the BIOS, we think, it is not worth telling. Let's do the frequency.
So, restart the computer, and during itstart, when on a black background flashing inscriptions, press the Pause key to stop the startup process. In one of the lines, find the "Main Processor", and at its end you will find the frequency value, which is also indicated in gigahertz.
If for some reason you do not 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 were presented all the possible ways how to find out what processor frequency you have on your computer.
