HWM BlackBox is a utility designed to deliver precise details on the core components of your computer to the maximum. As well as providing you with you with in-depth information about hardware such as the processor, memory modules, mainboard, hard drives and video card, it also offers the opportunity to assess critical parameters such as clock speeds and temperatures. HWM BlackBox also presents Vista - compatible tools to test your computer's performance under Microsoft Windows Vista.

As well as providing you with you with in-depth information about hardware such as the processor, memory modules, mainboard, hard drives and video card, it also offers the opportunity to assess critical parameters such as clock speeds and temperatures.

1. Processor
HWM BlackBox Processor ID interface displays processor-specific information such as manufacturer, model, socket type, version, revision, code name, supported instruction sets, number of cores, process technology, maximum speed, overclocking rate, multiplier, L1-L2-L3 cache capacities, current speed and temperature values and usage, even the official logo of your central processor with utmost accuracy.
HWM BlackBox supports a wide range of processors from decade-old Intel 386-486, AMD K5 series to latest generation Intel Corei7, AMD PhenomX4 with 99.999% accuracy. Please refer to section Supported Devices for a list of processors HWM BlackBox can currently identify.

2. Memory
HWM BlackBox Memory Identification Interface, allows you to view details related to the memory modules installed in your system, such as: manufacturer, production date, module capacity, overall memory available, number and types of modules installed, maximum running speed, available timings, pre-installed SPD profiles, current speed, FSB:DRAM rates and memory speed rates. HWM BlackBox Memory Identification Interface detects and reports all popular memory modules such as SDR, RDRAM, DDR, DDR2, DDR3 with 100% accuracy.

3. System
HWM BlackBox System Identification Interface displays all possible data pertaining to your system; from the motherboard manufacturer, model, North and South Bridges, PCIe x16/x8/x4/x1, PCI, AGP and ISA ports to BIOS manufacturer, version and date. This tool also identifies the details of your graphics adapter, its model, memory and driver details, and the installed hard drives with models, types, interfaces and capacities of each.

4. Performance
HWM BlackBox Performance Tools are your ultimate guide to test each and every component in your system. It gives you minute information and opportunity to test the performances of the main processor, memory, video card and hard drives. You can run a total of 13 tests consisting of 5 processor tests, 1 memory test, 6 graphic adapter test and 1 hard drive test to determine the performance of your system. HWM BlackBox Performance Tools can only work with Microsoft Vista.
