ONLINE VALIDATION
CPU-Z can produce a validation file and an online submission used by overclocking leaderboards. The public validator at valid.x86.fr is the reference many users cite when they share a “validation link” instead of images.
Submit validation
Click Tools → Validate in CPU-Z, or use the validation button. Upload the generated file to valid.x86.fr to get a permanent link.
When to use it
Overclocking records, benchmark submissions, or when a single link is easier than multiple screenshots. Validations include CPU, mainboard, memory, and GPU data.
Privacy tip
Validations can expose hardware details publicly. If you only need tech support, prefer screenshots with serial numbers blurred, or share files only in private tickets.
