I have an i3-4170 but HWMonitor sees it as an i3-4360, the weird thing is that CPU-Z sees it as an i3-4170. What's going on?

It detected my E1-2500 as an A6 so its recognition is probably not the best

They are pretty similar, only difference is the amount of cache and embedded graphics

 

Can you see what graphics version it has? (Don't google it of course, you have to see it on your computer)

i7 4790k | MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition | G.Skill Ripjaws X 16 GB | Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB | 2x Seagate Barracuda 2TB | MSI GTX 970 Twin Frozr V | Fractal Design R4 | EVGA 650W

A gaming PC for your budget: $800 - $1000 - $1500 - $1800 - $2600 - $9001
