    OCCT 3.00

    Posted on Friday, January 30 2009 @ 14:16:18 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck

    OCCT (stands for "OverClock Checking Tool) is a CPU stability testing program, it has CPU, RAM and CPU/RAM mix stressing tests.

    MAJOR FEATURES

    • OCCT's main UI has been completely revamped
    • Graphs now shows a 2nd line showing the CPU usage / FPS during the test.
    • CPU usage is now instantaneous instead of an average since the start of the test
    • OCCT now has 5 different tests. The descriptions are at the end of the changelog

    USER INTERFACE

    • Entirely revamped - now based on tabs, and completely modular
    • Now has a small help module - just move your mouse around OCCT's window, you'll see

    MONITORING

    • The built-in engine has been updated - lots of new hardware are now supported
    • Alot of bugs are fixed, included the famous "3 cores out of 4 detected"

    GRAPHS

    • Graphs now shows a second line showing the CPU usage/FPS during the test
    • A legend explains everything
    • The test configuration is now entirely present in the graph's subtitles

    TESTS DESCRIPTION

    CPU:OCCT

    • The original, inherited from previous versions of OCCT
    • Now Core i7 compatible
    • Optimized

    CPU:LINPACK

    • The very same as IntelBurnTest, based on a test provided by Intel
    • It will make your CPU hotter than never !
    • 32 and 64 bits support

    GPU:3D

    • Home-made test written in Direct3d that will make your GPU really hot - this test is similar to ATITool and Furmark (thanks to Furmark and JegX for his support and for the aborted partnership ;) )
    • Will make your graphic card real hot - especially the GPU
    • Has an error detection mode similar to ATITool
    • SLI and Crossfire support (Just enable Fullscreen mode !)

    GPU:Memtest

    • Again, Home-made test written in CUDA that'll launch a MemTest86 or MemTest86+ like test on your Graphic card memory and report any error found
    • Requires a Nvidia Graphic Card, and a GeForce 8 or Higher !

    Power Supply

    • Dedicated to power supplies - it'll launch GPU:3D and CPU:LINPACK at the same time to load your power supply. BEWARE, THIS TEST IS REALLY DEMANDING !
    • WARNING, DO NOT USE THIS TEST WITH NO-NAME POWER SUPPLY, AS A FEW DEATHS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPORTED !
    • This tests demands 30 to 40% more power than crysis on a quad-core system with an SLI graphic system installed...
