How to find out the model motherboard.
Hello! Once upon a time, I wrote about what a motherboard is. A lot of time has passed after the purchase, so you reinstalled Windows, and now we need to download the drivers for the chipset, sound and other equipment soldered on the motherboard. (As a rule, all discs and documents have characteristics that are lost over time)
How to find the manufacturer, model and serial number of the motherboard
And here a question ripens in the head of many: how can I to know which model is my motherboard? Either you are ripe for buying the latest video card or microprocessor, again - until you find out the model of the motherboard, it will be problematic to find anything. If, in the case of drivers, you can find them by hardware ID, then in the case of an upgrade, this will not work.
Visual identification of the model and manufacturer of the motherboard.
How to find out the model maternal boards visually? Painfully simple, for this we need a screwdriver and not bad lighting. We unscrew the bolts from the side cover of the system unit and remove it away so as not to interfere.
Now the most important thing is to closely examine the motherboard. Unfortunately, some manufacturers manage to write the title where you will not find it in the afternoon with fire. Typically, the marking is applied above PCI-E slot or near the microprocessor. For example, in the photo below, the motherboard is labeled GA-790FXTA-UD5. Specifically, this is the title and we will drive it into Google or Yandex to find the properties of the equipment or download the driver.
This method is old-fashioned and has never failed, but I would not recommend it for you. First, you will have to open system unit(which is completely bad if it is sealed and under warranty), and finding the name of the motherboard is not always easy (especially if you opened it for the first time, because there will be a bunch of inscriptions and you simply will not understand: what exactly is the motherboard model here) and secondly there are methods that are much simpler :)
To figure out maternal model boards can be programmed.
The software does not stand still. The program CPU-Z is also developing. A good utility is created to get information about the central microprocessor, and it will also help us give a hint about the motherboard model. You can download it by visiting the official website of the program.
You are kindly requested to report broken links:
Go to the CPU-Z download website [Size: very small]
So, open the program and run over to the "Mainboard" tab. Here we can spy on the manufacturer in the Manufacturer line and the model itself in the Model line.
There shouldn't be any questions here, because the method is as simple as three kopecks. But there are other programs to understand - what is still inside our computer?
For these purposes, AIDA64 is perfect (in the old days it bore the proud name Everest). The purpose of AIDA is just to show us complete information about the equipment installed in our computer. Unfortunately, the program is paid, but it has a 30-day demo period (I think it will still be enough to determine the model of the motherboard)
In the left window, open the "Motherboard" and select "Motherboard" (I understand that I wrote crazy, but it is - look at the screen above). In the right window in the line "Motherboard" we see the clear title of our system fees.
How to determine your motherboard model Windows tools.
In my opinion, the easiest way to find out which motherboard is installed in the computer is to request command line... You do not need to install anything, just open the "Run" menu (if you cannot find this item, then read about where to "run" in Windows). In the window that appears, type CMD. The command line will open, which means that all that remains is to enter the commands:
To determine the motherboard manufacturer - wmic baseboard get Manufacturer.
To determine the motherboard model - wmic baseboard get product.
The picture below clearly shows how it looks.
It makes no sense in the article to consider all the ways how to find out the model. motherboard, and it is not necessary, because the actions given here allow us to answer our question in full. All the best 😉
Handsome man! The clearest way is through the command line. Everything is very simple. Ctrlr -> Enter cmd -> After C: / Users / Administrator> wmic baseboard get product. Any other value can be used instead of Administrator. Author, thanks! five

Sometimes it may be necessary to find out the model of the computer motherboard, for example, after reinstall Windows for the subsequent installation of drivers from the manufacturer's official website. This can be done both by the built-in tools of the system, including using the command line, and using third party programs(or by looking at the motherboard itself).
You can also use third-party programs to view information about the manufacturer and model of your motherboard. There are a lot of such programs (see), and the simplest, in my opinion, will be Speccy and AIDA64 (the latter is paid, but also in free version allows you to get the information you need).
Speccy
When using Speccy, you will see information about the motherboard already in the main window of the program in the section " general information", The corresponding data will be located in the item" System board ".
More detailed information about the motherboard can be found in the corresponding subsection "Motherboard".
You can download the Speccy program from the official website https://www.piriform.com/speccy (while on the download page, at the bottom, you can go to the Builds Page, where portable version programs that do not require installation on a computer).
AIDA64
The popular program for viewing the characteristics of a computer and AIDA64 system is not free, but even limited trial version allows you to see the manufacturer and model of your computer's motherboard.
The whole necessary information you can see it immediately after starting the program in the "Motherboard" section.
You can download the trial version of AIDA64 at official page downloads https://www.aida64.com/downloads
Visual inspection of the motherboard and search for its model
And finally, one more method in case your computer does not turn on, which does not allow you to find out the motherboard model using any of the methods described above. You can just look at the motherboard by opening the computer system unit and pay attention to the largest markings, for example, the model on my motherboard is indicated as in the photo below.
If there are no clear, easily identifiable markings on the motherboard, try searching Google for those markings that you found: with a high probability, you will be able to find what kind of motherboard it is.
- I would be grateful to your site if they tell me how to find out the model of the motherboard and ? I bought a computer from my hands, of course there were no boxes with drivers and instructions for the motherboard. Established an operating room Windows system 7, immediately went to the Device Manager and found many yellow circles with exclamation marks(devices on which drivers were not automatically installed). I know that there is a program AIDA64 that can show all the devices installed in the system unit, but I do not want to install it.

How to find out your motherboard model
Hello, friends! Sure experienced user this question will seem simple (for example, the model of the motherboard can be found simply by typing the command wmic baseboard get product in the command line and the name of the motherboard will immediately appear),
But believe me, even people who repair computers have had situations when they had to groan and tinker, and even say a strong word, in an attempt to determine the belonging of a motherboard to a particular manufacturer. And not always, opening the lid of the system unit, you will see the inscription ASUS, GIGABYTE, ASROCK, MSI, sometimes there is simply nothing there to hint at the name of the motherboard. But what about the owners of laptops?
In our article we will tell you how very simple find out your motherboard model, video card, processor, monitor and almost everything that you have installed in your system unit.
With such a question, there are several ways to help. Firstly, you can open the cover of the system unit and see its full name on the motherboard itself, and secondly, you can use the AIDA64 program, if you do not want to use this cool program, then in most cases you can find out the model of your motherboard on the site http: // www .intel.com. So let's get started. With the computer turned off, open our system unit and see the model of our motherboard.
If you don't find any name there, but you still have a beautiful box from your motherboard, then the name can be seen on it. There may be an instruction left, in it you can also find out the name of the main component of your system unit.
If all of the above proposed did not lead to success, then we will use this method. Since most modern motherboards consist of a chipset (chipset) from Intel, the model of your motherboard can probably be found on the Intel website!
Follow the link http://www.intel.com/support/ru/siu.htm click on the button Identification of software and hardware on your computer.
The analysis of your computer components is in progress
and here you are, all the information about the components installed in my computer
SYSTEM BOARD INFORMATION
Manufactured by ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
Model P8Z77-V LX2
Let's say the first two methods did not help us, so we use one good and very simple program... It is paid, but the first 30 days of use it works for free, as if letting you know yourself better before buying.
Let's go to the website of the AIDA64 program at https://www.aida64.com/downloads/, click on the button Download.
Download the program to installation file, click on AIDA64 Extreme Edition Trial version, self-installing EXE package, Download.
Downloaded, run the file aida64.exe.
Very easy installation programs
In the main window of the program, click Computer.
Summary information.
Everything that we have installed inside the system unit is very clearly presented:
Motherboard model

If you left-click on the name of the motherboard, a small menu will open, with which we can go to the official website of our motherboard, learn about it complete information and download drivers for it.
To download drivers on the official Asus website, select "Support", then "Download"
Read in the next article "How to download and install drivers on a motherboard"
- today we will look at how to find out the model of the motherboard on the computer. Updating drivers, checking hardware compatibility and purely out of curiosity - ... using the methods given in the note to check the model of the motherboard is much easier than disassembling the computer and examining the stickers inside the system unit.
You can simulate a lot of situations in which it is very important to know the model of the motherboard: banal update drivers, buying new hardware (find out what can be added to the system and if there are necessary slots for this, for example, to expand the RAM) ...
If you have preserved the documents that are issued along with the computer (or separate positions for components, if you selected the components yourself), you can find out the answers to your question there. Probably it even The best way, because you can check the correspondence of the real situation with what is indicated in your docks.
In principle, I will not tell you how to find out the name of the motherboard by opening the system unit - in a modern situation, this is absolutely unnecessary, because software methods will give information more than just a visual inspection of the motherboard.
Of course, I do not deny that you can recognize the model by looking at the board itself (I am not so stubborn as to say that this should not be done in any case), and an advanced user probably knows himself where and what to see ... well, I recommend to us to use the simplest and most correct methods
Method 1. Find out the name of the motherboard through the command line
If you enjoy using the command Windows string then you can easily find out your motherboard model using Microsoft's powerful WMIC tool.
With WMIC, we can run a baseboard request to check the motherboard and several additional parameters such as serial number, revision and other detailed information about your motherboard. Let's try to find out the manufacturer of our motherboard, model and serial number using WMIC using an example.
The program is in English, but for us this will not be a problem, we are specifically interested in the Motherboard line - this is the name of our motherboard.
Despite such a small size (less than 1 megabyte in the archive) the program can tell a lot about your computer, but I would not recommend using it ... find out what kind of motherboard is on the computer - it is great, for everything else there are more convenient analogs.
Method 3. AIDA64 - find out the model of the motherboard
There are several editions of AIDA64, the Extreme Edition is fine for us (the app costs money, but the 30 day trial version is fine for us, indicated on the download page as TRIAL)
After installing AIDA64, launch the program and find the "System Board" icon on the left side. In the window that opens, the second line "Motherboard" will display the manufacturer and model of the motherboard. As you can see in my computer the motherboard name is Asus P8H67.
If you scroll down to the bottom of the window, you will find a link to the download page for the latest BIOS ("Download BIOS updates" line). This can be useful if the purpose of determining the motherboard is the firmware new version BIOS firmware
Method 4. Piriform Speccy - a good program from the developers of Ccleaner
If you have ever used by the Ccleaner program and she left you with only positive emotions with its result, then the question of how to find out the motherboard model will be answered by a small Speccy program from the developers of the same Cclener (Piriform). Download as always on the official website:
Run the application and on the left side, go to the "Motherboard" tab. On the right side, in the "Model" line, there will be an answer to our question - in our case it is P8H67 (LGA1155) ...
Not only did the program correctly identify the name of the motherboard installed in the computer, but also showed its socket (1155) and many more useful information(such as stress, BIOS version and system temperature)
Method 5. CPU-Z - will tell not only about the processor
CPU-Z is a very popular utility for identifying a processor, but it is perfect for identifying the motherboard model on a computer. The program is completely free and does not require installation, just download current version from the official site
After starting the utility, go to the "Mainboard" tab and the name of the installed motherboard will appear in the "Model" line. I have a P8H67 motherboard on my computer (so far testimony all applications are the same)
For many, the BIOS block will be useful, the version and manufacturer of the firmware are displayed here ...
Method 6. HWiNFO32 - detailed information about the motherboard
To download the program, go to the official website (there are several versions of the program - HWiNFO32 for 32 bit systems and HWiNFO for 64 bit systems). In my case, I downloaded HWiNFO64.
After installing the appropriate version of HWiNFO, launch it (it may take a long time to launch, collecting information about the components of your computer). The program will automatically display the "System Summary" screen, where the motherboard model will be shown in the "Motherboard" section
By the way, please note that HWiNFO correctly detected the video card ... it should be added to the note about video cards
Method 7. Sisoftware Sandra is an underrated program
When I was looking for information on how to view the motherboard on a computer, I have never come across an application such as Sandra Lite in reviews (this is what we will use, since specifically Lite- distributed free of charge). As usual, you can download it on the official website, avoid left-wing sources ...
After installing Sisoftware Sandra Lite, launch the program and go to the "Devices" tab. In the window that appears, double-click on the "Motherboard" icon and wait until the utility collects all the necessary information. A new window will open detailed information about your motherboard, in the line "Model" and there will be an answer to the question of how to find out the model of the motherboard?
This section displays not only the name of your motherboard, here you will find a lot of other useful information about your motherboard. For example, you can find out how much memory and how many total slots for it ... or the model of the chipset on which your system is built
BONUS! Motherboard information in HTML report
This application is called LookInMyPC and you can download it from the developers website (in English, there is portable version does not require installation)
http://www.lookinmypc.com/download.htm
After launching, you can choose what exactly to generate the report about, but we leave everything as it is and click the "Generate Report" button ... you just have to wait until the report is generated - it's fast.
The file with the report will open in any browser, in the "BIOS Information" block in the "Board Product ID" line, and there will be the name of our motherboard.
In fact, the report contains a lot of interesting and useful information, but as for of English language — Google chrome perfectly translates everything.
The report generates a lot of data about the software part, and you can view it at any time without the program itself - this is very convenient
What have we learned about the motherboard? - Conclusions
Friends, we have considered several ways to find out the model of the motherboard. As you understood from the note, it is quite possible to do this without disassembling the system unit - there are more civilized methods.
What to do with this information? - even if you need to visually look at your motherboard, it is quite possible to find its image and specifications on the official website by the model name.
Whether you need to update your drivers, check for hardware compatibility, or are just curious, you can check your motherboard number with these simple tricks - it's easier than opening the case and looking for the coveted set of symbols with a flashlight in hand.
Why do you need a motherboard number
Knowing your motherboard number important if you are thinking of updating your drivers, buying new hardware (for example, you need to know the format of the memory slots) or just want to test the capabilities of your motherboard if you plan to upgrade your entire computer.
If you have saved documents that came with your computer (or individual components), you can often find this information there. But, even then, it's best to check to make sure the documentation is correct. Instead of opening the case and looking for the model number on the board itself, use tools on windows to check the motherboard number.
Check the number from the command line (or PowerShell)
If you are comfortable using the command line (or PowerShell, where these commands also work), you can easily check various motherboards and hardware statistics using the handy snap-in Windows management(WMIC) is a command line interface from Microsoft.
With WMIC you can enter a request baseboard- to check the statistics of the motherboard and then use additional modifiers: get Manufacturer, Model, Name, PartNumber, slotlayout, serialnumber, or poweredon- to get more details of the motherboard.
As an example, let's check the motherboard manufacturer, model number and serial number using WMIC.
Open Command Prompt in Windows using the Startup Dialog (Windows + R) or by searching for "cmd" in the Start Menu - no need to run Command Prompt as Administrator. And as we mentioned, you can also use PowerShell if you like. The commands work the same in both shells. At the command line, enter the following text (note that there are no spaces between the comma modifiers), and then press Enter:
Wmic baseboard get product, Manufacturer, version, serialnumber
The information received indicates that we are using a motherboard from ASUSTeK, a PRIME X370-PRO board, and a serial number. That is, we received all the information we needed without opening the case or using any third-party tools.
Checking Model Number with Speccy
If you prefer to use graphical interface(this method also gives more information than the WMIC tool), you can download free tool Speccy. This is a handy application.
After downloading and installing Speccy, launch it. You can see the motherboard model number right on the summary page along with the current operating temperature (assuming your motherboard is transmitting this data). You can also see basic information about other system components.
Click the Motherboard tab on the left to see even more information about your motherboard, including details on the chipset and voltages, and the types of slots that come with the board, whether or not they are currently in use.
