Of course, the vast majority of users have heard of the unique Everest program. But not everyone can imagine what she is capable of. In addition to standard tools, it is proposed to use many additional tools that can be used by the same overlockers (users trying to disperse the hardware programmatically or physically).
Why was the Everest program originally created?
The application itself since its release in the original version (and now we will consider it) has become a kind of standard for diagnosing any computer system and obtaining critical information on all components that are installed on the motherboard.
Initially, however, the Everest program had rather limited capabilities, nevertheless it provided the user with such data about the processor, RAM, motherboard and much more that the user could not even dream about. Own means of Windows at that time gave brief and meaningless information.
Key Features
The most basic thing that ordinary users and computer technicians immediately noticed was the presence of an informative unit for each device. In addition to everything, there is detailed information on the status of the device at the current time (processor temperature, RAM load, etc.).
At that time, in terms of informativeness, the program was considered the first in the ranking. Microsoft tools, all the more, didn’t possess such informational content as they do not even now. Here, even in the main window, you can see information on the cache levels (L1, L2) and evaluate the processor performance by turning on the "Task Manager" in parallel.
Program Everest for Windows 8 and other versions in its current form
In its previous form, the program is no longer being released. You can, of course, find its original version, but why? Now the most common utility, which is a modernized version of Everest, called AIDA64. Just there is so much information in it that it is impossible to imagine. The Everest program for a computer has acquired a slightly new meaning. She became able to analyze the state of the system at the level of embedded components so deeply that previous versions may seem, as they say, baby talk.
But to understand the completeness of the question, describing everything that is is not worth it. It is enough to install the utility on the computer and try it in practice. It is immediately evident that the basic information on all installed devices remains. All characteristics are monitored in real time.
But there are some nuances. In its current form, the Everest program provides overclockers with more options. Just go to the computer settings and power supply, as you can immediately see the degree of laptop battery. On top of that, along with viewing your Windows licenses, you can find out the critical temperatures that the CPU can withstand.
No less interesting is the monitor diagnostic section, which allows you to run about forty-five tests and calibrate the image. To do this, use the service tab, which was previously absent.
Brief summary
It remains to add that the basic test is able to determine the causes of the appearance of death screens, the occurrence of which is associated with unstable behavior of the operating system. Finally, no one forbids to stress test the processor and graphics adapter. True, in this case, one must be extremely careful not to overload the main elements of the computer to the extreme extent, after which they will fail. Of course, the program will not do this. But on weak systems, the consequences of such a check can affect the most unpleasant way.
And one more thing: after all the tests, you can use the statistics section, which will contain the most complete information about computer performance or the behavior of any "hardware" component. However, the main question is only how much the average user needs such information. To keep the program on a computer without special need in this case seems completely unreasonable. Although, who knows when and under what circumstances it may be needed ...
