The ExtremeHW (EHW) Validation Tool is a program that consolidates required applications (CPUz, GPUz) for Hwbot screenshot verification. The purpose of this software is twofold: To reduce the time requirement of opening validation programs and to consolidate the opened windows neatly on the desktop. The official GitHub project is HERE. The current GUI consists of four sections explained below.

Settings:

The first and second boxes include the path specifications to the CPU-z and GPU-z applications on your computer. They are set to the default path location, but can be changed using the "Browse" buttons. The third box is where you type your Hwbot username. The fourth box is where you type your Hwbot team. Your username and team name will appear in a white box when opening the 2D or 3D buttons. Not populating the username and team name boxes will leave the displayed white box empty on your desktop (Except for the EHW application text).

2D/3D Benchmarks:

There are buttons for either 2D or 3D benchmarks. They are further broken down by where they will be displayed on your desktop (Left or Right sides). Clicking the 2D benchmark button will open three CPU-z windows that automatically sets the CPU, Mainboard and Memory tabs. The CPU-z windows will be aligned together at the bottom of the desktop on whichever side you chose. Clicking the 3D option will do the same as the 2D option while adding a GPU-z main tab window.

Screenshot:

This program can take a screenshot and automatically save it to your computer by clicking the “Take Screenshot” button. The Validation tool may remain on top as it is NOT included within the screenshot. The captured image will be an entire desktop shot and be stored to a user specified location. The validation tool will remember the last chosen path for saving images for subsequent screenshots.

Clicking the "Close Tools" button will close all open windows except for the EHW Validation tool itself.  Tools will also be automatically closed when the EHW Validation Tool is closed.

Notes:

  • Administrator access is required in order to launch CPU-Z and GPU-Z with administrator privileges.
  • This application does not support more than one GPU-z window.
  • The CPU-z auto selection tabs are NOT changeable.
  • High DPI or large monitors may have issues auto-arranging the tools or when taking screenshots
