AIDA64 November Update

Fake nVIDIA video cards detection

AIDA64 can now identify counterfeit nVIDIA video cards with reflashed BIOS images, fake PCI identifiers and pretend device descriptions. Prime example of such video cards are old GeForce GTX 650 cards sold as GeForce GTX 1050 in popular webshops.

Advanced RGB LED module

The existing AIDA64 RGB LED module has been extended to cover Cooler Master MasterKeys MK750 and SteelSeries Apex M750 keyboards, Cooler Master MasterMouse MM530 and SteelSeries Rival 600 mice, SteelSeries QcK Prism mousepad, and Corsair ST100 headset stand. CPU and memory utilization, network traffic, temperatures, voltages, fan speeds, and power draw measurements can now all be monitored on RGB devices, using various visual representations. Improved support for Corsair Sabre RGB LED mouse. Support for Corsair K70 RGB MK.2, K70 RGB MK.2 SE, Strafe MK.2 keyboards.

AVX-512 accelerated benchmarks for Intel “Cascade Lake” processors

64-bit multi-threaded AVX-512 optimized benchmarks for the upcoming Intel “Cascade Lake” server processors and for Intel Core 8000 Series “Cannon Lake” processors. AIDA64 benchmarks and System Stability Test now utilize AVX-512, AVX2, AVX, Fused Multiply-Add (FMA) instructions, and AES-NI hardware acceleration of capable Intel processors. Utilizing AVX and AVX-512 is now optional in the AIDA64 System Stability Test. Support for up to 32 processor groups (only in AIDA64 Business, AIDA64 Engineer and AIDA64 Network Audit) or 4 processor groups (AIDA64 Extreme).

Improvements for Intel Z390 chipset based motherboards

Temperature, voltage and fan speed monitoring for Intel Z390 “Cannon Point” based 4th Generation LGA1151 motherboards and 2nd Generation Intel “Coffee Lake” processors. Detailed chipset information for Intel Z390 PCH and for the integrated memory controller of Intel Core 8000 and 9000 Series “Amber Lake”, “Cannon Lake”, “Coffee Lake”, “Kaby Lake”, and “Whiskey Lake” processors. Detailed SPD information for high performance DDR4 memory modules with XMP 2.0 memory profiles. Support for the latest 5Gbps Ethernet LAN controllers.

Support for the latest hardware technologies

Multi-threaded OpenCL GPGPU benchmarks, graphics processor, OpenGL and GPGPU details, temperature and cooling fan monitoring for the latest GPUs: AMD Radeon Pro 555X, Radeon Pro 560X, Radeon RX 580 2048SP, Radeon RX 590; nVIDIA GeForce RTX 2000 Series, Quadro RTX 4000, Quadro RTX 5000, Quadro RTX 6000. Matrix Orbital GTT and RoboPeak RPUSBDisp LCD support. Improved support for SanDisk X600 SSDs and LSI RAID controllers. Aqua Computer D5 Next and Quadro sensor support.
