CPU-Z

Much like MSI Afterburner and f.lux, CPU–Z is all about fine–tuning your beloved PC gaming machine into a well–oiled, well, machine. It's probably not the best program, but if you want to get your PC in the best possible shape (especially if you're trying to break into the eSports scene or you're creating a career in streaming), you should attempt this type of back-end kit. CPU-Z employs a configuration file called cpuz.ini that enables users to change a number of software settings. The location where cpuz.exe is located must also contain cpuz.ini. Please take note that using this file is optional.

You can review a wide range of specific details about various components of your PC with CPU-Z in a comparatively simple style. It’s certainly not for the faint-hearted, but it’s definitely worth spending some time with if maximizing PC performance is your bag. Real-time monitoring is available, and reports can be saved at any time in HTML or TXT format.

Pros:

• It allows you to quickly navigate to where you want to go in your computer system
• Quickly access to such data locations as your CPU, Memory Caches, SPD, Graphics and other memory type storage areas
• The program is wide ranging in the type of systems that it supports
  

Con: It is not easy to use the data it provides if you are a novice computer user
