How to read the serial number of the motherboard. How to Find the Serial Number of an Asus Motherboard
Sometimes you may need to know the model motherboard computer, for example, after reinstalling windows for the subsequent installation of drivers from the official website of the manufacturer. This can be done either by the built-in system tools, including using the command line, or using third party programs(or by looking at the motherboard itself).
You can also use third-party programs that allow you 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 program window in the "General Information" section, the corresponding data will be located in the "System Board" item.
More detailed information about the motherboard can be found in the corresponding subsection "System board".
You can download the Speccy program from the official website https://www.piriform.com/speccy (at the same time, on the download page, at the bottom, you can go to the Builds Page, where a portable version of the program is available that does not require installation on a computer).
AIDA64
AIDA64, a popular computer and system spec viewer, is not free, but even a limited trial version allows you to view the make and model of your computer's motherboard.
You can see all the necessary information immediately after starting the program in the "System board" section.
Download trial version AIDA64 you can official page downloads https://www.aida64.com/downloads
Visual inspection of the motherboard and search for its model
And finally, one more way in case your computer does not turn on, which does not allow you to find out the model of the motherboard by any of the methods described above. You can just look at the motherboard by opening the system unit of the computer 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 as a model, markings on the motherboard, try to search Google for those markings that you could find: with a high probability, you will be able to find what kind of motherboard it is.
Hello.
Quite often, when working on a computer (or laptop), you need to know 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 they either don’t have them, or the model is not indicated in them). In general, there are several ways to find out the model of a computer motherboard:
- with the help of special programs and utilities;
- visually look at the board by opening the system unit;
- in command line(Windows 7, 8);
- in Windows 7, 8 using the system utility.
Let's consider each of them in more detail.
A special program for viewing the characteristics of a PC (including the motherboard).
In general, there are dozens (if not hundreds) of such utilities. There is probably no point in dwelling on each of them. Here are a few 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 on the left in the column, see the screenshot below).
By the way, the program is also convenient in that the board model can be immediately copied to the clipboard, and then pasted into a search engine and search for drivers for it (for example).
One of the 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 just by looking at it. Most boards are marked with the model and even the year of manufacture (an exception may be cheap Chinese versions, on which, if anything is marked, it may not correspond to reality).
For example, we take the popular manufacturer of motherboards ASUS. On the ASUS Z97-K model, a marking is indicated 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 relatively new board the marking is also indicated approximately in the center: “GIGABYTE-G1.Sniper-Z97” (see screenshot below).
Motherboard GIGABYTE-G1.Sniper-Z97.
In principle, opening the system unit and looking at the markings is a matter of several minutes. Here, problems can be with laptops, where getting to the motherboard is sometimes not so easy and you have to disassemble almost the entire device. But nevertheless, the way of determining the model is almost error-free.
How to find out the motherboard model on the command line
To find out the motherboard model without third-party programs at all, you can use the usual command line. This method works in modern Windows 7, 8 (I did not check it in Windows XP, but I think it should work).
How to open 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 combination of buttons Win + R opens the execute menu, enter “CMD” there and press Enter (screenshot below).
Windows 8: Run 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 mat. boards in Windows 7, 8 without programs?
To do this is quite simple. Open the "run" window and enter the command: "msinfo32" (without quotes).
To open the Run window in Windows 8, press WIN+R (found in the Start menu in Windows 7).
That's all for today. If you have something to add on the topic - I will be grateful. Good job everyone...
Whether you need to update your drivers, check hardware compatibility, or are just curious, checking your motherboard number with these simple tricks is easier than opening the case and looking for the treasured character set with a flashlight in hand.
Why do you need a motherboard number
Knowing your motherboard number important if you're thinking about updating drivers, buying new hardware (you'll need to know the format of your memory slots, for example), or just want to test your motherboard's capabilities if you're planning 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 the tools in windows to check the motherboard number.
Check the number from the command line (or PowerShell)
If you're 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 Windows controls(WMIC) is a command line interface from Microsoft.
With WMIC you can enter a query base board- to check motherboard statistics and then use additional modifiers: get Manufacturer, Model, Name, PartNumber, slotlayout, serialnumber, or poweredon- to get more motherboard details.
As an example, let's check the motherboard manufacturer, model number, and serial number using WMIC.
Open a command prompt in Windows using the run dialog (Windows+R) or by searching for "cmd" in the start menu - no need to run command prompt as an administrator. And as we mentioned, you can also use PowerShell if you like. The commands work the same in both shells. At the command prompt, type the following text (note that there are no spaces between modifier commas), and then press Enter :
Wmic baseboard get product,Manufacturer,version,serialnumber
The information received says that we are using an ASUSTeK motherboard, PRIME X370-PRO board, and a serial number. That is, we got all the information we needed without opening the case or using any third-party tools.
Checking the model number with Speccy
If you prefer to use GUI(this method also provides more information than the WMIC tool), you can download the free Speccy tool. This is a handy app.
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 board reports this). 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, as well as the types of slots included with the board, whether or not they are currently in use.
How to find out the model of the motherboard installed on the computer, Windows tools and with the help of third-party programs. In the Windows operating system, you can find out the model of the motherboard in several ways, which I will discuss in this article.
A computer consists of separate units (devices) assembled together to interact with each other. The main device of a computer is the motherboard on which various components of the PC are located; other devices that make up the computer are connected to the motherboard (motherboard).
Why is it necessary to find out the motherboard model on a computer? Model identification is necessary when upgrading (updating computer hardware), installing drivers, etc.
The motherboard model determines which processor can be installed on this computer, BIOS and chipset model, type support random access memory(DDR2, DDR3, DDR4), peripherals, etc.
In the case of drivers, it depends on the model of the motherboard (system) board which drivers should be installed on this computer. Therefore, it is important to find out the name of the company - the manufacturer of the motherboard and the model of the motherboard.
There are several ways to determine the motherboard model:
- visual inspection;
- using utilities and tools of the Windows operating system;
- using third-party system monitoring utilities.
First way - visual inspection, is applicable, basically, only to a stationary computer. After opening system block, the user can see the brand designation of the motherboard printed directly on the PCB itself.
Determining the laptop motherboard model in this way is very problematic. In this case, help will come software. Next, we will look at 7 different ways for motherboard model information.
How to find out the motherboard model using Windows System Information
In Windows 10, go to the "Start" menu, in the list of programs, open the "Tools" folder Windows Administration”, click on “System Information”. In Windows 7, follow the path: "All Programs" => "Accessories" => "Utilities". In Windows 8.1, to call "System Information" you will need to enter a command, read more.
The System Information window will display detailed information about the system, hardware resources and software environment. Opposite the "Manufacturer" and "Model" elements, you will see information about the manufacturer and model of the motherboard.
Get motherboard model information with DxDiag
Enter the following command in the command line interpreter window:
Wmic baseboard get Manufacturer
After executing the command, the window will display the name of the manufacturer of the motherboard (Manufacturer), in this case, Gigabyte.
Wmic baseboard get product
The model (Product) of the motherboard - B85M-DS3H will appear in the command line window.
If it is difficult for a novice user to find out the motherboard model via the command line, use other simpler options.
Article Conclusions
The user can find out the model of the motherboard using various methods: using the utilities and tools of the Windows operating system, or third-party programs for monitoring equipment and the system.
Experienced PC and Internet user
- I would be grateful to your site if they tell me how to find motherboard model and ? I bought a computer from my hands, of course there was no box with drivers and instructions for the motherboard. Installed operating system Windows 7, immediately went to the Device Manager and found a lot of yellow circles with exclamation marks (devices that did not install drivers automatically). I know that there is an AIDA64 program that can show all the devices installed in the system unit, but I don’t want to install it.
- Hello! Please tell me how to find out the name of the motherboard, opened the side cover of the system unit, but there is no name on the motherboard? And is it possible to somehow find out the model of the monitor, there are no identification marks on it either.
- Explain how to determine the model of the motherboard of my laptop, do not open it for me?

How to find 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 simply by typing the command wmic baseboard get product on the command line and the name of the motherboard will immediately come out),
But believe me, even people who repair computers have had situations when they had to grunt and tinker, and even say a strong word, in an attempt 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 simple find 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, 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 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 do not find any name there, but you still have a beautiful box from your motherboard, then the name can be seen on it. Maybe the instruction remained, in it you can also find out the name of the main component of your system unit.
If all of the above did not lead to success, then we use this method. Since most modern motherboards consist of an Intel chipset (chipset), you can probably find out the model of your motherboard on the Intel website!
