jberniep Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) I just built my first PC. It has an Intel Core i7-9700K and Speccy identified it as Intel Core i7 7700 what's up with that?

Moderators mta Posted February 19, 2019 Moderators Share Posted February 19, 2019 maybe Speccy is simply passing on what is in the firmware. start an elevate command prompt and type in wmic cpu list brief and see what it thinks your CPU is.

jberniep Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Using the command Prompt and : "wmic cpu list brief" show my cpu is a 9700K I tried Speccy again and it still show Intel Core i7 7700 @ 3.60GHz 25 °C Kaby Lake 14nm Technology Anyone else have any ideas???

At least there's a way built into Windows to get the correct detection to verify what you purchased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jberniep Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 It does not give people confidence in the Speccy software if it has to be updated each time a new CPU or product is on the market. I know what I put into my build and it's an i7-7900K and not an i7- 7700 so what else can I say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozt Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 exactly the same problem i installed i7 9700k it showed i7 7700k though it shows the corect core number 8 core ( 7700 got 6 core only) compared CPU-Z and task manager and "dxdiag"-> all shows up i7 9700k . probably speecy bug. i hope iget it right because it is my first built pc.

ASUS VH238 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I have the same problem: I replaced a XEON E5 1620 with a XEON E5 1660 v2 but Speccy still shows my CPU to be a 1620. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators mta Posted May 4, 2019 Moderators Share Posted May 4, 2019 g'day RJM and welcome to the forums. as with all of Piriform's software, their Pro versions offer the same functionality as the Free versions. I'm pretty sure this is stated in the documentation. the Pro versions give extra benefits like direct support and, as an example, in Recuva you can scan VHD's, and in CC you can clean all PC users. but if something doesn't work in a Free version, getting the Pro won't change things. now you do have the Pro, you could raise a support ticket (and get that priority support you're paying for) from the website and enquire about getting your money back.

Eliminated718 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Well its October and this is still a bug as I'm getting the exact same error as those mentioned above and my Cmd also shows the correct information. I like how they say that Speccy gets its information from wmic but that is clearly not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted October 8, 2019 Moderators Share Posted October 8, 2019 care to share a couple of screenshots. one from Speccy and one from WMIC, it may help the Devs - but hey - we all see on this thread the importance they have with fixing Speccy!!!

rawrrawrrawr Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Have the same problem, also on 9700k and is showing as 7700k. https://prnt.sc/pm32n2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silkrider Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Just checked my i7-9700K with Speccy - shows as a i7-7700 but CPU-Z shows i7-9700K. Shows 8 cores... Any updates forthcoming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George321 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Running a i9-9940X here. According to the latest version of Speccy my CPU Name is "Intel Core i9 7940X" while CPU Specification is "Intel Core i9-9940X CPU @ 3.30GHz". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchAngle Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Anyone have the "Pro" version of Speccy to check this too. If that is showing the same inaccurate information then that is pretty bad form. Speccy 'Free' v1.32.740 has not been updated in months, possibly not since May 2018, whereas CPU-Z has been updated at least twice recently, currently on v1.91. Process Hacker 2 reports that the most recent Speccy version when launched as being CPUZ143 so if that means it is using that CPUZ 'engine' I'd bet that if users of more recent Intel CPUs used that it will report the same thing. However it is difficult to test because CPUZ uses a different ID to the version numbers. For instance the current version v1.91 reports as CPUZ149. So what version or versions CPUZ143 was used for and how old that is ..........................................................just found it. Luckily CPU-Z have archives of old versions with details of what was updated and whilst I can not be bothered to check back* when it was introduced CPUZ143 was last used by CPUZ v1.81 dated 27th September 2017. So the 'engine' Speccy apparently uses is over two years old and it is therefore not surprising it can not identify more recent Intel CPU versions. https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html Still it should have been updated by now to be able to identify those CPUs and if 'Pro' Speccy is the same then you have to ask what are people paying for? *by fluke I downloaded what I'm fairly sure is the first archived version they had of CPUZ143 which is CPUZ v1.79 dated April 2017.

Mason C Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Same problem here, not sure i went on task manager and it says it’s a i7 9700k but speccy said the EXACT same thing yours did so I don’t know it scared me at first but i assume it’s just speccy?

HoriZon Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I'm getting the same issue, running a i7 9700k but speccy shows it as a 7700k, it's a custom build by myself so I know I have a 9700k and nvidia GeForce experience is showing it as the correct cpu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted December 28, 2019 Moderators Share Posted December 28, 2019 Most likely cause is your CPUs are latest gen but Speccy hasn’t been updated in years.

ArchAngle Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 It is indeed that just as I suggested earlier too. This thread:- https://forum.piriform.com/topic/51922-defraggler-222-detecting-my-hdds-as-ssds/?do=findComment&comment=313762 indicates that the same applies to Defraggler and Recuva too. I speculated on the reason why in that thread but it would be interesting and helpful to have things confirmed by somebody in a position to do so, if anything is going to be done about it and explain why the "Pro" versions are still being offered when they are now significantly flawed for the same reason.
