1-CPU Speed:

It is a simple tool that is well known and easy to use, and there is no danger of using it, whether with computers or smart phones. In fact, it is one of the most popular tools used in the hardware world for nearly 20 years. 

It is normal for any central processor to contain some code, and manufacturers AMD and Intel allow these instructions to be activated within the processor in order to unveil a wealth of information and readings that the user can know and understand. These instructions include the type, brand and number of cores of the central processor Its frequency, speed, space, cache levels and much more. And all this information belongs to the CPUz tool.

In the past, this tool did not have the huge amount of information and features that became available in the new versions. In addition to the characteristics of the central processor, it has the ability to check the motherboard model and BIOS version and know the types, size and frequency of RAM And the graphics card as well.

In addition, the application contains a simple tool (Bench) to measure the power of the central processor and compare the performance results of the individual core and multi-core with some other central processors whose reference results are added within the application, it also contains a tool (Stress Test) to pressure the central processor to ensure its stability after breaking operations the speed.

In fact, the CPUz tool is one of the indispensable tools for any desktop computer or laptop, in addition to that there is a dedicated version of the tool for smartphones. 

 

2-GPUz:

One of the most specialized tools for reading graphics card specifications only, it works in the same way as CPUz, by collecting information stored in the GPU code.

GPUz is a tool developed by the famous hardware site Techpowerup. Regardless of the fact that it does not contain any means of measuring the performance of graphics cards, it is based on reading the technical specifications of the card and understanding the state of the sensors embedded in the graphics processor and the entire graphics card such as their temperatures, frequency, power consumption, fan speed of the card, and basic voltages.

It is characterized by knowing every little thing about the technical specifications of the graphics card and includes an indication of the type and bandwidth of the video memory with the knowledge of the code name of the processor and an explanation of the modern technologies supported by the processor. Unfortunately, there is only one version of GPUz that supports Windows and it is completely free.

 

3-HWiNFO:

One of the tools that we explained earlier so that you can take full advantage of its features. Unlike CPUz or GPUz, HWiNFO specializes in examining every little thing on your computer while providing comprehensive reports of events and the state of the process it is going through.

If you want our personal opinion, it can be a great and sufficient alternative to all other screening tools. From checking the sensors of the motherboard, the central processor, the graphics card, and all their working states, even the speed of the Internet connection. Moreover, there is the On-Screen Display window that you can rely on to read the speed of the hardware parts and display their results on the screen while you are in the games.

It is very popular thanks to the continuous technical support from the developers and its freeware that allows all users to try it.

 

4- AIDA64:

It is one of the most reliable tools in the world of hardware and very popular with a large group of enthusiasts and overclockers, and it is very similar to the same HWiNFO tool in the ability to read every small and big thing in the computer system, but it is not free, you will only have a grace period of 30 days You will then need to upgrade to the paid version. What is special about AIDA64 is its ability to support various operating systems, and unlike HWiNFO, there is a version for smartphones. In addition to all of the above, it contains the feature of testing the stability of the central processor and pressing it after overclocking operations, and therefore we recommend overclocking enthusiasts to use and rely on it. 

 

5-Open HWM:

If you're working on Linux, your options may be very limited. However, Open HWM is one of the tools that continues to provide support for this system, certainly with support for Windows. The tool is very similar to previous tools, especially HWMonitor, in the way it displays sensors for all parts of the computer.

Fortunately, the tool is completely free, but it is not an easy tool to use and requires third-party tools to be able to use it and open the reading files that you recognize.

 

6-Speccy:

One of the most famous tools that we preferred to rely on in the past due to its easy and detailed explanation of hardware parts, and it was developed by the same team responsible for the famous cleaning tool CCleaner. Actually Speccy toolur One of the tools that still retains its popularity in the world of hardware and among the masses of users. If you feel that HWiNFO is too complex in its features and specifications, you should try Speccy, it has an easy view that is a simple summary of all the events that the components go through with clear graphs to show the internal storage, RAM and CPU characteristics.

Unfortunately, the only problem with this tool is that you will have to pay for the full version in order to be able to take advantage of all the features that the paid version has, what else you may be surprised that the free tool is not able to read the specifications of the hardware parts very accurately, especially with modern hardware specifications. 

 

7-I-Nex:

One of the favorite tools for Linux users, it is reliable to read the technical specifications of all hardware parts and hardware. Unfortunately, it is not supportive of Windows and is developed by a small Polish team.

It is characterized by clarifying all computer specifications, including storage disks, audio system, and operating system distribution architecture. The only downside to I-Nex is that it doesn't seem to be able to support modern hardware, so if you have the latest hardware and prefer Linux, you may be surprised that it can't provide the correct report for all components.  


8-HWMonitor:

If you want a simple, easy-to-use, clear-cut and completely free tool, you can definitely count on HWMonitor . This tool was developed by the same developers as CPUz, but it has what CPUz couldn't. Including checking parts temperatures, voltages, and fan speeds, you'll find everything you need to know.

The only downside of this tool is that it is sometimes not able to recognize the names of all the sensors embedded in the components and does not recognize their details accurately, yet it shows their status whether they are sensors to indicate speed, frequency or temperature, and remember that the tool is available for Windows systems only. 

 

9-Oct

If you're up for overclocking or need to check on the stability of new hardware components, OCCT will do just that. It is not a tool for reviewing and measuring performance.

Instead, it puts pressure on the central, graphics and random access memory and puts them under intense testing to ensure and ensure the efficiency of their work and their stability in the case of heavy workloads.

It also contains the feature of supporting hardware sensors, which show their technical characteristics, monitor their temperatures, voltages, their load percentage, and the amount of power they consume, with some graphs to show the speed of frequencies and the way they work.  


10-PerformanceTest:

One of the most controversial tools, and the reason for this is that some users who are fans of the blue and red team constantly claim and complain about the unfair and inaccurate end results they get. We do not know what is the reason for the high prejudice on it, it is normal that the same thing happens with all other audit tools, this is the nature of the Bepinchmark.

However, PerformanceTest is not just about measuring and calculating the end results, but it is a quick benchmark tool to make sure things are going right, and regardless of how it displays reviews, which some consider to be a strange method and not serious results but in the end it provides A comprehensive review methodology that includes CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage, and above all this tool is free for 30 days, simple to use and significantly improved than before, so why not give it a try.


11-PCMARK 10:

The program is well known and very popular and widely in the world of hardware reviews. PCMARK 10 specializes in reviewing and calculating the performance strength of hardware components in many of the most widely used business and operations of personal computers, from calculating performance strength while working on Office applications, through video broadcasts, and even performance testing in games.

The program was developed by Futuremark, and one of its best features is the way it is visually tested and displays events that attract the user's attention during the benchmark process.

The free version has a quick and comprehensive review process but the paid version has more features related to testing laptop battery and storage performance as well as working on professional business applications like Adobe. 

 

12- 3DMark:

The famous program, which also falls under the banner of Futuremark, is 3DMARK , but it is one of the most popular programs among gamers and graphics card reviewers in particular. Graphics and uses all of its resources to test its stability after overclocking operations.

Fortunately, one version for Windows and another for Android and IOS systems is free, while the paid version contains a set of additional tests and the ability to modify the method of graphic review.

No doubt any user is looking forward to give it a try because of the beautiful visuals it contains during the benchmark process. Moreover, it allows the ability to record the results on an online database record to compare them with the rest of the other results, sometimes some users can achieve records but this is in the case of owning the most powerful and most expensive hardware. It is one of the best and indispensable software after overclocking graphics cards because it contains all the complex graphics features that face graphics cards in games. 


13-CineBench 20:

The program is very simple, and it is developed by Maxon, which is responsible for developing the Cinema 4D program, and it is dedicated to reviewing the performance of the central processor and calculating its results in the ability to process a complex graphic scene that is fully analyzed in front of the user.

It has recently started to support RayTracing technology, this program does not use any resources by the GPU at all except to send the results to it to display on the screen, but it uses all the resources of the central processor to test its performance in single-core or multi-core graphics.

It doesn't go as deep into benchmarking and benchmark like PCMARK 10 but it's easy to use and fast by analyzing a single graphic scene, in the end it gives you the performance result as a number of points in yellow to be compared with the benchmark results of other CPUs. 

 

14-GeekBench 5:

One of the most used tools in reviews of specialized technical sites is GeekBench 5, despite a lot of criticism, but it is one of the exceptional tools that provides support for all operating systems including Android, IOS, Linux and the other two for sure. In our personal opinion, the only downside to it is that it can be described as classic and very ordinary, meaning that it does not contain attractive graphics or graphics during the process of pressing the hardware parts like other tools, but it fulfills the same purpose and achieves the goal that is required of it.

It performs a series of quick tests with some calculations similar to the operations encountered by hardware parts during use with professional business programs such as montage and graphic design. Like other tools, however, it provides the ability to display a table of results that can be uploaded to the software's main online database to measure and compare results with other hardware parts and components.  


15-Novabench:

of toolsIt is loved by Linux and macOS users, and certainly supports Windows, and is widely relied upon in technical hardware reviews that come out of specialized sites thanks to its ease of handling, its easy and quick clarification of the results, and its comparison with the online database installed on the program’s main page.

You may notice that it doesn't have any visuals for display during the benchmark process like PCMARK 10 and it's not as efficient as a program like SiSoft Sandra in being able to analyze results every little and big in detail, but it does provide performance review for CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, and above All this easy, simple, fast and free.

Because it is a light tool, revisions can be carried out while the user is doing his other work without the slightest problem. 

 

16-SISoft Sandra:

SiSoft SandraIt is a category of professional programs that you should be comprehensively aware of and have sufficient knowledge to understand their features and advantages and how to work on them in order to be able to make the most of them.

Unlike all previous tools, this tool comes with everything inside it, from comprehensive reports on technical specifications and in-depth knowledge of all the minute details, to begin the process of testing and benchmarking of hardware parts very professionally.

As it appears in the picture, the program is rich with tools for measuring and calculating the performance strength of hardware parts in many different operations. Personally, we recommend this method from Benchmark.

If you try to test the overall performance through the Overall Computer Score, the test process will seem to last forever (really long and requires time and patience long), in addition to that, it is a very heavy process and drains all the resources of the hardware parts, and therefore you will definitely notice that you are unable to use the computer for the length of the review period.

One of the great tools that should be used after overclocking to calculate the value of the results and clarify the percentages of performance difference that you obtained, or to make sure that the hardware parts work normally..

If you encounter errors or problems such as the blue screen or restarting the computer by itself, these are indications that there are An error in the fracture process, not to mention the state of complete freezing that you may be exposed to. Therefore it is preferable to use the review tools separately.

In terms of performance measurement, you will eventually notice a page showing you the results of computer power and comparing them with different computer platforms whose results are found on the Internet. 


17-UNIGINE Superposition:

Developed by UNIGINE, which has been known for many years for its ability to develop graphic engines for the gaming industry.

This software is a complete set of tools that make you free from any of the previous versions such as Vally and Heaven.

As usual, the company offers a set of amazing and eye-catching graphics and scenes that make you ready to carry out the review process over and over again after overclocking your graphic card.

The revision is to add a graphic heavy load of 60 million graphic triangles and 30 different light sources to extract the full voltage of the graphics card and test its stability after jailbreaks.

The program is free and supports both Windows and Linux, but there is a paid version that allows you to compare the final results with the rest of the results on its official page, if you decide to support the developers or make its comprehensive set of reviews you will have to buy the full version (which is really expensive) but it allows For the user to be assured of the strength and stability of the graphics card after cracking operations... Perhaps the purpose of the paid version is only some advanced work and professional users.

 

18-Basemark GPU:

It may have been given that name because it was actually developed by the same programmers responsible for developing 3DMARK, and in fact there doesn't seem to be much difference between the two except in the way the reviews and different graphics are displayed during the benchmark stages. But Basemark GPU does what 3DMARK can't, providing support for all the operating systems you can imagine Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and IOS which means if you have a lot of hardware that needs to be reviewed then this is the best app for you.

On the downside you will notice that it is about 1GB in size, although it does not have many review methods, but if you decide to buy the paid version you will surely get many of them.

 

19-HD Tune:

HD Tune is one of the tools specialized in reading the status of storage units, reviewing their performance and the events they experience while working.

The tool is free for a limited period, after which you will not be able to use it, but it is one of the tools rich in methods that monitor the status and efficiency of storage capacities of all kinds, read their temperatures and work system, ensure the safety of storage sectors and search for damaged ones. In addition, it provides a quick review system to measure the speed of performance and check errors in more than one way.

We believe it is one of the best and indispensable tools when it comes to storage solutions.  


20-CrystalDiskMark:

CrystalDiskMark is a basic software for storage units and speed testing, very classic and does not contain any graphs or graphics during the benchmark process, instead it uses some computing intensive to measure the speed of storage solutions in read and write operations.

This software only supports Windows and does not provide aggregate results or a means to compare results online. But with random and sequential read and write speeds, you can calculate and measure these results individually with results extracted by hardware review sites for storage solutions. 

 

21- 7Zip

Actually 7zipIt is not a software review or check hardware components or anything like that, although you will be surprised by its presence in all the reviews of technical sites specialized in reviewing storage units, and all this thanks to the presence of a very simple compression process built into it, this process is compressing and decompressing a file A dummy filled with data of different types, and through this process, the efficiency of the cache and random access memory is measured and the extent to which they are affected by the speed of the processor while carrying out heavy workloads on business programs, similar to the same work of compressing and decompressing large files, and this is in order to calculate the time required for hardware components up to Finish this process. Just search for the benchmark process in the Tools toolbar at the top of the program.
