Find out the motherboard model. Several ways to find out the brand and model of the motherboard on a computer or laptop

At first glance, discover the model motherboard It’s not difficult - just look at the device box, or find the necessary information on the component itself by opening the system unit panel. Here, right on the front side of the board, its name is located.

But there are also situations when it is not possible to look into the insides of your computer. Then you have to use the tools provided by the operating system and computer software.

The first thing to talk about is standard methods, which are built into the system itself. Here are step-by-step instructions that work on all versions of the Windows operating system, regardless of the features of a particular build. For later updates, some of the steps presented will be easier, as reflected in the notes.

In the system information panel

Let's start with the standard monitoring program laid down by the OS developers. This is the most quick way of all possible, since the user does not require special knowledge about the operation of the system or installation of additional components.

The sequence of actions looks like this:

Note! In later Windows versions, like eighth or tenth this remedy can be run via list standard programs, search by files and components, or from the Control Panel.

Using the command line

The second method also involves entering commands, however, the tool in this case is more complex. We recommend this method for more experienced users.

The command line is the main tool for manipulating already installed system. But the action we need will not change the state of the system in any way if the commands are entered correctly.

This method works like this:

Note! In later OS versions, open command line it became even easier. The tool can be launched by right-clicking on Windows icon, and selecting it among other standard programs and components. You can also use the system search directly from the main panel.

Special software

To diagnose the “stuffing” of your device, you can also use a specialized software. These tools will help if the system does not recognize the necessary characteristics on its own, or does not provide all the necessary information.

It should be noted right away that there are a lot of similar programs for reviewing physical and virtual components on the market at the moment. We have chosen the most proven over the years, popular among professionals and ordinary users.

DxDiag

This program could even be considered standard, since it comes with a background tool for playing and processing complex DirectX programs (videos and games). Typically this component is used for more detailed diagnostic processes and complex tasks, but also simple display necessary information He can do it too. The DxDiag utility is a diagnostic element from this environment.

You can run it like this:

Speccy

This program is one of the easiest ways to check the “ ” model. After all, to display the parameter we need, we just need to install and run it.

1. Go to a reliable website and download the utility by clicking the “Download” or “Download” button.

   

2. Click on the downloaded file, thereby starting the installation of the program.

   

3. Change the language to Russian and click “Install”.

   

4. After the installation is complete, click on the “Run Speccy” button.

   

5. Immediately after launching this program, the name of the model and manufacturer can be seen directly among the main characteristics in the viewing area.

   

If more detailed information is required about the features of the main element of the device, the program allows you to diagnose them by viewing all the characteristics in the special “Motherboard” section. The most comprehensive information about the component among all the presented methods is already presented here. The tool displays all the features of the device, including the current state, and even shows the current temperature of all elements.

If you want to know in more detail, you can read an article about it on our portal.

AIDA64

Older versions of this software are familiar to users as Everest. This program It is so loved by the masses that many authors of Windows builds even include it in their OS versions.

In this program, when opened, there is a main directory in which you should look for the desired element. The path to it is as follows:

CPU-Z

The program is designed to monitor processor load, but can also display other main system components. This is another easy way to quickly view all the characteristics of your computer's base.

After installing the program, simply open it and select the “Mainboard” tab to display, in which the first line “Manufacturer” is the name of the manufacturer, the second “Model” is the number or name of the model of the element.

S.I.W.

Another program for comprehensive diagnostics of both physical and virtual (software) system components.

You can determine the parameters we need here in the following way:

System Spec

This program has a lot of advantages: small amount of memory required (useful for portable devices), no installation required - you just need to unpack the archive, general availability. The only negative is the lack of Russian localization.

Here you can find the desired parameter immediately after launch. The characteristics of the model and manufacturer are located opposite the “Motherboard” parameter.

Conclusion

The motherboard is a basic element of any device. The compatibility of new components that are installed by the user, further upgrade of the computer, and its adaptation to individual needs depend on its features. We have listed all the most reliable ways to identify it on your computer. Which one to choose is up to the user to decide.

Video - How to find out your computer motherboard model

If you are going to upgrade your computer and buy more powerful hardware for it, then you need to understand how to find out the name of the motherboard. And there are several for this different ways, among which there will definitely be one that suits you, even if you don’t understand computers at all.

The mother holds all the other parts of the computer, everything is connected to it. And there are several. Therefore, when purchasing new hardware, you need to know the name and number of the motherboard and select compatible parts accordingly.

Find out the motherboard number through the command line

Yes, the almighty command line also allows you to see the motherboard number. In my opinion, this is one of the best, most reliable and least labor-intensive ways to get to know your mother. It is available to everyone, on any computer, running any OS and does not depend on the hardware manufacturer.

So, to find out the motherboard in this way, open the command line through the Start menu or with the Win + R keys, and write wmic in the window that opens. In the window that opens, write:

and press the Enter key. And you will see the name of your uterus.

Packaging and disks from the board

This is probably the simplest and most basic way to find out what motherboard is in your computer - find a box for it at home. If your computer was assembled from components, then when purchasing you must have a packaging box. The name of the motherboard will be on it.

This method is not suitable for those who bought their computer already assembled or for laptop owners. They don't have such a box. But maybe there is a disk with all sorts of drivers for the board. Such disks are also usually indicated by the markings of the motherboard. It happens on both a laptop and a computer. But sometimes manufacturers do without it.

Markings on the board itself

Another equally basic way to find out the name of the motherboard is to crawl under the cover of the system unit and read what is written there. All mother manufacturers write the name.

Before you find out the motherboard number of a laptop using this method, think about whether you can then put it back together. It may be easy to disassemble it, but then putting everything back in place is not so easy. Therefore, I recommend this method to owners of stationary machines.

If the board is old, then you may encounter the problem of erased paint, which often happens over time. Then you will not see the markings on the board.

These are not all the methods that can be used, but these are the simplest and most convenient. Once the name of the motherboard is known, you can find out what parts will fit it. This can be done either on the Internet or in the store where they will be purchased.

Hello.

Quite often, when working on a computer (or laptop), you need to find out the exact model and name of the motherboard. For example, this is required in cases of driver problems ( same problems with sound:).

It’s good if you still have documents after the purchase (but most often you either don’t have them or they don’t indicate the model). In general, there are several ways to find out the model of your computer's motherboard:

• using special programs and utilities;
• visually look at the board by opening system unit;
• on the command line (Windows 7, 8);
• in Windows 7, 8 using the system utility.

Let's take a closer look at each of them.

Special programs for viewing PC characteristics (including motherboard).

In general, there are dozens (if not hundreds) of such utilities. It probably doesn’t make much sense to dwell on each of them. I will give here several programs (the best in my humble opinion).

1) Speccy

To find out the manufacturer and model of the motherboard, just go to the “Motherboard” tab (it’s in the left column, see the screenshot below).

By the way, the program is also convenient in that you can immediately copy the board model to the clipboard, and then paste it into a search engine and look for drivers for it (for example).

One of best programs in order to find out any characteristics of a computer or laptop: temperature, information on any components, programs, etc. The list of displayed characteristics is simply amazing!

Of the minuses: the program is paid, but there is a demo version.

AIDA64 Engineer: system manufacturer: Dell (Inspirion 3542 laptop model), laptop motherboard model: “OkHNVP”.

Visual inspection of the motherboard

You can find out the model and manufacturer of the motherboard simply by looking at it. Most boards are marked with the model and even the year of manufacture (an exception may be cheap Chinese options, on which, if anything is marked, it may not correspond to reality).

For example, let's take a popular manufacturer of motherboards ASUS boards. On the ASUS Z97-K model, there is a marking approximately in the center of the board (it is almost impossible to confuse and download other drivers or BIOS for such a board).

Motherboard ASUS-Z97-K.

As a second example, I took the manufacturer Gigabyte. On the relatively new board, there is also a marking approximately in the center: “GIGABYTE-G1.Sniper-Z97” (see screenshot below).

GIGABYTE-G1.Sniper-Z97 motherboard.

In principle, opening the system unit and looking at the markings takes a few minutes. Here problems can arise with laptops, where getting to the motherboard is sometimes not so easy and you will have to disassemble almost the entire device. But nevertheless, the method of determining the model is almost error-free.

How to find out your motherboard model on the command line

To find out the motherboard model without third-party programs at all, you can use the regular command line. This method works in modern Windows 7, 8 operating systems (I haven’t tested it in Windows XP, but I think it should work).

How to open the command line?

1. In Windows 7, you can use the “Start” menu, or enter the “CMD” command in the menu and press Enter.

2. In Windows 8: the Win+R button combination opens the Run menu, enter “CMD” there and press Enter (screenshot below).

Windows 8: Launch Command Prompt

• first: wmic baseboard get manufacturer;
• second: wmic baseboard get product.

Desktop computer: “AsRock” motherboard, model “N68-VS3 UCC”.

DELL laptop: model mat. boards: "OKHNVP".

How to determine the model of a mat. boards in Windows 7, 8 without programs?

This is quite easy to do. Open the “Run” window and enter the command: “msinfo32” (without quotes).

To open the Run window in Windows 8, press WIN+R (in Windows 7 you can find it in the Start menu).

That's all for today. If you have anything to add on the topic, I would be grateful. Good luck everyone...

Greetings! Friends, sometimes under certain circumstances it is necessary find out the motherboard model installed on the computer. This is necessary, for example, before reinstalling the operating system, in order to download drivers for the chipset in advance. Or, when choosing a new video card, you need to make sure that it is compatible with motherboard, information about which should be known. An experienced user will be able to quickly and easily find out such information, but there are cases when even he will have to “sweat.”

How to find out which motherboard is installed?

Let's look at the most common ways to find out the brand of motherboard. I’ll say right away that we will use both standard means operating system and third-party programs.

Method 1. Visual inspection inside the computer

If your computer is not under warranty, then you can view the model of the motherboard directly on it. To do this, open the system book and look for large letters with numbers (they usually stand out among other inscriptions),

This is the simplest and most reliable way, because using software it is not always possible to quickly find out the brand of the motherboard. However, if you own a laptop or netbook, then it is better to use standard OS tools or third-party programs to determine the motherboard model.

Method 2. Using the command line to view your motherboard model
To find out the motherboard model, press the key combination ⊞ Win + R and type cmd to open the command line window.

Enter the command wmic baseboard get product and press Enter,

As you can see in the screenshot, information about the model of your motherboard will be displayed.

Method 3. View the motherboard in System Information
So, again, press the button combination ⊞ Win + R, enter msinfo32 and press Enter,

The “System Information” window will open, where you can also see the brand of your motherboard,

However, there are cases when the motherboard model name is missing. Therefore, if methods 2 and 3 did not help, then read on.

Method 4. Determining the motherboard using a service from Intel
In most cases, on the official Intel website you can find out information about your motherboard online, that is, without downloading and installing separate programs. To do this, go to http://www.intel.com/support/ru/siu.htm and click the Software Identification button,

Let's wait until all your components are determined. Personally, this process took me about

As a result, we see all the information about the computer hardware, including the motherboard.

Method 5. Usage third party program to determine the board model
You can find out which motherboard is installed using an indispensable program AIDA64(formerly Everest). I looked at it in more detail.

Installing it is as easy as shelling pears, so we won’t get bogged down at this stage. So, when the program is already installed, you can proceed to the most important thing - viewing information about the board. To do this, in the program window that opens, select “Computer”

If your personal computer or laptop does not work due to absence, or outdated version drivers, or it has sound problems, it's easy to fix. But only if you know the motherboard model and its exact name.

The motherboard model can be found in the documents. But if you threw away the box with them after purchase or they do not indicate the model, you will have to use other options. One of the methods listed below will help you determine your motherboard model. Four ways:

1. Use utilities or applications specially designed for this purpose to determine;
2. Use the command line if you have an operating system Windows system 7, 8 or 10;
3. Open the system unit and inspect the motherboard;
4. Use the system utility for Windows 7, 8 or 10.

Special programs for viewing PC characteristics (including motherboard)

The developers have created a number of special applications (utilities) designed to determine motherboard models. It is impossible to consider everything; they number in dozens. We have selected the most effective and easy to use. A minimalist interface without fancy functions will allow even the most inexperienced user determine your motherboard model for a laptop or personal PC.

Speccy

This utility is one of the most effective. You can download one of three versions on the developer’s website. It is completely free, has a Russian-language user interface, works in all Win versions and is very easy to use. Find the section " System board"and find out who the manufacturer of your motherboard on your netbook or mobile is/ personal computer and its exact model. Look at the image below.

The utility is created for user convenience. It not only finds the motherboard model, but also allows you not to enter its number manually, but to use the clipboard. Copy and find in search engine, for example, updates for outdated drivers.

AIDA

This utility will not only allow you to determine the manufacturer and model of your PC board, you can also use other useful features. For example, AIDA will help you find information on an application or driver, hard drive, video card and other components. With this utility you can find out almost everything about your mobile or personal computer!

But to fully use it, you have to pay. The trial version does not have advanced functionality and is limited to only a few parameters.

Visual inspection of the motherboard

If you don't want to download and install a special set of programs, inspect the motherboard visually. If your computer is not a cheap Chinese assembly, the correct markings should be stamped on the board.

If the manufacturer of the motherboard that is installed on your computer is ASUS, then you will see, for example, the following marking: “ASUS 970 PRO GAMING / AURA”. Feel free to write this name in the search engine and update outdated drivers.

If the manufacturer is Gigabyte, the marking will look something like this: “Gigabyte GA P110 D3 02.”

Visually inspecting the board on a personal computer is simple and quick; just open the system unit and rewrite the alphanumeric value. But with mobile computers it is not so simple. Disassembling laptops is not an easy task. But it is possible to accurately determine the model.

How to find out your motherboard model on the command line

Another method for those who do not want to install utilities. This method is relevant for the entire Windows family: 7, 8 and 10.

The command line opens in two ways:

cmd and press the Enter key.
cmd and press "Enter" key

Then enter two commands one by one, pressing “Enter” in succession:

• wmic baseboard get manufacturer;
• wmic baseboard get product.

How to determine the motherboard model in Windows 7, 8 and 10 without programs?

To find out, you need to enter the following value in the “execute commands” window: msinfo32
The first method for Windows 7 Click on Windows “Start” and enter the value msinfo32 and press the Enter key.
Second method for Windows 7,8 and 10 Press the “Win ​​+ R” button combination and enter the value msinfo32 and press "Enter" key

When the window opens, you must select the "About Information" section. operating system" There you will see all the data about your mobile or personal computer. There are several characteristics regarding the version, model of the board and mobile computer, processor and others.

This is how you can easily determine the model and manufacturer of the motherboard. You can use the most convenient method: with or without the utility.
