Tnx, updated. Just noticed that the didn't update for specific uses like for Asus ROG and Cooler Master editions, still at 1.82-

You're both welcome.

Something I never noticed before, CPU-Z has a system timers tester(I used another one before), where you let a program(like Groove playing music) run in the background, and start the timer and let it run a little bit, then stop it, to see if they all are they same.


It's good to use to see if you need to turn off or on either Windows system timer, or in BIOS the HPET timer.
Plus you can see if you have any PCI latency.(and adjust BIOS settings accordingly.

But what's it good for ?

It checks latency with system clocks, that can cause micro-stuttering in games and benchmarks.
Also the timers have to do with PCIe latency, so effect graphics card and M.2 performance.

What you are looking for is all four have the exact same seconds.

Mine is prefect :)
