CPU-Z Readme file ------------------ Version 1.31 November 2005 Contact : cpuz@cpuid.org Web page: http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php Validation page : http://valid.x86-secret.com/ Forum : http://forum.x86-secret.com/viewforum.php?f=17 Developers page : http://www.cpuid.org/developers.php CPU-Z is a freeware and can be freely distributed. Configuration file (cpuz.ini) ------------------------------ The configuration file must be named cpuz.ini and be present at the same directory level as cpuz.exe. It contains the following : [CPU-Z] TextFontName=Verdana TextFontSize=13 TextFontColor=000060 LabelFontName=Verdana LabelFontSize=13 VCore=0 DMI=ON Sensor=ON SMBus=ON - TextFontName : Font used for the information boxes. - TextFontSize : Size of the font used for the information boxes. - TextFontColor : Color of the font used for the information boxes. Value is expressed in hexadecimal, and consists in a classic Red/Green/Blue color code : RRGGBB - LabelFontName : Font used for the label boxes. - LabelFontSize : Size of the font used for the label boxes. - Sensor : Set to OFF disables sensor chip detection and voltages measurement. - DMI : Set to OFF disables the DMI (Desktop Management Interface) information. This concerns BIOS vendor and version, motherboard vendor and revision. - SMBus : Set to OFF disables SMBus information : SPD, and, depending on the hardware, sensoring information. - VCore : switch voltage report on sensor chip. Parameters ---------- -file=filename : Launch CPU-Z in ghost mode (no interface appears) and generates the register dump file (.txt) in the same directory as the exe file. -html=filename : Launch CPU-Z in ghost mode (no interface appears) and generates the HTML report (.htm) in the same directory as the exe file. Keys ---- F5 : save the current tab in a bmp file F6 : save the current tab in the clipboard F7 : save cvf file in the current directory Cache Latency Tool ------------------ The cache latency tool is now a stand-alone program that is included in the CPU-Z package.
