If your personal computer or laptop is not working due to missing or outdated drivers, or has sound problems, it is easy to fix. But only if you know the model motherboard 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 command line, if you have an operating system Windows 7, 8 or 10;
3. Open 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 created a whole series 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 to determine their 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 a netbook or mobile/personal computer is 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 Copy and find in search engine, for example, updates for outdated drivers.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 ASUS company, 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 “Operating System Information” section. There you will see all the data about your mobile or personal computer. There are several characteristics regarding the version, board model 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.

Greetings!
Sometimes it becomes necessary to find out the name and model of the motherboard (motherboard) installed in a computer (or laptop). For example, you may need to reinstall missing drivers or update them altogether. Or maybe you want to update the BIOS, this also happens. Situations and circumstances may be different. And it’s great if you have the documents that came with the computer. But what if they are not there or they do not contain the necessary information?

In this case, the following methods will help you find out the brand and name of the motherboard:

Now let's move on to a detailed consideration of each method.

Find out the name (brand) of the motherboard using utilities

There are quite a lot of utilities that have the ability to find out the name of the motherboard, and it doesn’t make much sense to describe them all. I will give several of the most popular and functional utilities of this kind, with which you can find out the name and model of the motherboard, as well as related hardware information.

Speccy program

Quite a popular and functional utility for determining the installed hardware and components of your computer. Among the advantages, the following can be noted: free, support for the Russian interface language (enabled in the settings) and support for identifying a very, very wide range of various types of equipment.

Using it, you can highlight information about the components installed in your PC: processor, RAM, hard drive, etc. Taking readings from temperature sensors of some components is supported.

The utility operates on the Windows operating system and supports versions: XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 (32 and 64 bits).

To find out the name and brand of the motherboard you have installed, click on the item in the program window System board. In the opposite part of the window, comprehensive information about your motherboard will be displayed.

From there you can quickly copy the brand and name and start searching for the information you are interested in, for example, missing/updated drivers.

AIDA64 program

Another one of the most worthy programs with which you can get comprehensive information about the characteristics of your PC or laptop. Using it you can find out: comprehensive information on installed components, obtain information from temperature sensors, obtain information about installed software and conduct some performance tests.

The list of features and information provided about components is truly amazing!

The program is not free, but you can use the demo mode and highlight the necessary information.

To determine the brand and name of the installed motherboard in the program window, click on the item Summary information and in the opposite part, pay attention to the line System board.

Also, comprehensive information about the motherboard can be highlighted in the menu category dedicated to it. System board.

We look at the name of the motherboard on it itself

You can often determine the brand (model) and developer of a motherboard simply by looking at it. The vast majority of motherboards have corresponding markings with the name and sometimes the revision of the board. The exception is boards that were made according to the so-called OEM order or very old unnamed boards, the sale of which was practiced in the early 2000s.

For example, let's take a motherboard from a leading manufacturer - ASUS. The model is indicated in large letters on it PRIME Z270-P. This inscription can hardly be confused with something; it stands out clearly. Even if you notice some markings that are also located on the board, the search is unlikely to give you updated drivers and BIOS.

Now let's take a motherboard from MSI as an example. There is also a marking on the board in white paint: Z170-A PRO One can hardly make a mistake and see something different.

As you can see, finding out the name and model of the motherboard directly from it itself is not difficult. However, if opening the lid of a desktop PC takes a few minutes, then with laptops the situation is not so rosy. If you do not have the necessary skills and knowledge, then it is better not to try to disassemble the laptop.

Underline the name of the motherboard using the command line

There is a method for determining the name and model of the motherboard, which does not involve the use of third-party software, as well as disassembling the computer case.

The name and brand can be found using the command line, which is available in all versions of Windows.

To begin, open a command prompt. The universal way to open the command line for all versions of Windows is this:

Press a keyboard shortcut Win+R and in the window that opens Execute enter the command cmd, and then press the key OK.

As a result, a command line window will open, in which you will need to enter the following lines one by one:

Wmic baseboard get manufacturer

Wmic baseboard get product

By entering these lines on the tested computers, the following results were obtained:

Personal (stationary) computer: manufacturer boards ASUS, model Z170-A.

Laptop Hewlett-Packard, motherboard model 0A58h.

Finding out the brand of the motherboard using msinfo32 built into Windows

Call window Execute, the easiest and fastest way to do this is by pressing the key combination on the keyboard Win+R.

In the window that opens, enter msinfo32 and press the key OK.

In the window that opens, select a category System Information– basic information about your Windows versions, the laptop model is specified, the brand of the installed processor, BIOS information and other technical data are indicated.

Brief summary

At first glance, a complex task is solved quite simply. There are several effective ways quickly and easily find out the name and model of the motherboard installed in your computer or laptop. Moreover, some of them do not even require installation and use of any third-party software.

If you have any questions, you can ask them in the comments.

1. I would be grateful to your site if you give me some advice how to find out the motherboard model And ? I bought the computer secondhand, and of course there was no box with drivers and instructions for the motherboard. I installed the Windows 7 operating system, immediately went to Device Manager and found many yellow circles with exclamation marks(devices for which drivers were not installed automatically). I know that there is a program called AIDA64 that can show all the devices installed in the system unit, but I don’t want to install it.

How to find out your motherboard model

Hello friends! Of course, this question will seem simple to an experienced user (for example, you can find out the model of the motherboard by simply typing the command wmic baseboard get product on the command line and the name of the motherboard will immediately appear),

But believe me, even people involved in computer repair have had situations when they had to grunt and tinker, and even say a strong word, in attempts to determine whether the motherboard belongs to one or another manufacturer. And not always, when you open the cover 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. What about laptop owners?

In our article we will tell you how very simply find out your motherboard model, video card, processor, monitor and almost everything that you have installed in your system unit.
With this question, you can help in several ways. Firstly, you can open the cover of the system unit and see its full name on the motherboard itself, 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 website http://www .intel.com. So let's get started. With the computer turned off, we 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. Maybe there is an instruction manual left, in it you can also find out the name of the main component of your system unit.

If everything suggested above does not lead to success, then we 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.

Your computer components are analyzed

and here is all the information about the components installed in my computer

SYSTEM BOARD INFORMATION

After clean install operating system Windows often has to install missing drivers that were not found by the system in the standard image. In order to know which drivers are suitable for your motherboard, you need to know its manufacturer and model. Therefore, in today’s article we will look at how to find out your motherboard. Without this information we will face a number of problems:

• We will not be able to install the correct drivers;
• We will not be able to select a processor;
• We will not be able to add RAM,
• We can't;

Also, if the necessary drivers are not installed on the motherboard, you will not be able to play 3D games, you will not have sound on your computer, video will not play, and so on.

We look at the manufacturer and model on the motherboard packaging.

Probably the most simple option How to find out your motherboard will be to find the box from it. As a rule, when you buy a computer in a store, they give you boxes of components. This is done so that in the event of a defect or breakdown, the store can send the problematic part to the service or supplier. Therefore, we look for the box and look at the motherboard model on it. The packaging will also indicate other important parameters:

• the type of RAM memory that can be installed on this motherboard;
• Information about the video card supported by the board;
• chipset information;
• bus frequency;
• information about service utilities.

It often happens that the box from the motherboard has not been preserved, then you can look for the sales receipt. In most cases, it contains the name and characteristics of the components. Or find a warranty card. If there are no papers, then perhaps you still have installation disk with drivers. We look at the information on it or in the help files.

How to find out your motherboard by disassembling the system unit?

If no documents or boxes from the motherboard have been preserved, then you can open the side cover of the system unit and see the model of the motherboard.

To do this, perform the following steps:

Pay attention!

• If your system unit is still under warranty, then it is possible that after you remove the side cover, the seal will be broken and you will lose it;
• If the motherboard name is hidden behind any component, you will have to remove it. I advise you not to do this if you do not have the necessary skills. Otherwise, you may damage the device.

Therefore, if you don’t want to get into the insides of the system unit, then let’s look at software methods for finding out your motherboard.

How to find out the motherboard model using Windows.

In order to quickly find out information about the motherboard, you can use the Windows command line.

1. To do this, click “Start” - “Run” or use the hotkey combination “Windows + R”
2. Enter the command “cmd”
3. Next we write the code: wmic baseboard get Manufacturer

The program will give you information about the motherboard manufacturer.

There is also another way to find out the motherboard model, to do this, go to the “Run” line enter the command “msinfo32”

The System Information window opens. Here you will see all the data about the computer that the operating system was able to obtain. In my case, only the motherboard manufacturer is displayed. Not available in the “Board model” item.

As you can see, using Windows, it is not always possible to obtain the necessary information, so we move on to the next step.

Let's find out information about the motherboard using programs.

To obtain information about the manufacturer and model of the motherboard. Let's take advantage special programs created for these purposes. Let's consider only free methods.

CPU-Z - this utility always helps me, motherboard, memory, and its similar version GPU-Z allows me to answer the question:.

You can download the CPU-Z program from the official website. After opening the program, go to the “Mainboard” tab. Here the utility will lay out for you all the available information not only about the model and manufacturer, but also about its main characteristics.

AIDA64 – I have been using this program for a very long time; previously it was called Everest. Probably the most important disadvantage of this utility is that it is paid, but there is a free period for a period of 30 days. This will be enough for you to recognize your motherboard.

In order to find the necessary information, launch the program and go to the “Motherboard” tab. A window will open with the characteristics of your board, as well as a bunch of useful information. Using the AIDA64 program, you can install missing drivers, as well as update old versions to newer ones.

The functionality of the program allows you to view such important parameters as processor frequency, memory buses, and the amount of RAM. Can show the temperature of the processor, video card and other components of the computer system unit. In order to test computer components for stability, and to determine in which hardware failures occur. You can use the “Test” tab.

Conclusion.

In today's article, we looked at several ways to find out your motherboard. I hope that now you will not have problems finding the necessary drivers. And also, if you want to upgrade your processor, video card or add RAM, then when you go to the store and tell the seller the name of the motherboard, they will be able to select the appropriate components for you.
