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.

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.
