CPU-Z has a validation button, that allows you to upload detailed system information online, and provides you a link (and also a cool forum userbar if you want to use it).
To show how detailed it is, here are my specs: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2537200
From that, you can tell:
- What my OS is
- What CPU I use and how far it’s overclocked
- Memory timings, type, and clock speed
- What GPU I use
- etc.
CPU-Z is nice for overall system specs, but it appears to be a bit lacking on what it presents for GPU information. This is where GPU-Z comes in.
GPU-Z also has a validation feature that allows you to upload your specs online, and provides you a link.

I believe providing both CPU-Z and GPU-Z validation links will help people get an understanding of exactly what is going on with your hardware, and also allow both devs and other people to suggest options for issues.

Also note that both programs are free, and very lightweight (don’t even need to be installed). Both programs are pretty popular as well, and are safe for use.
