Because of OCCT pro success and the lack of donations in return, i'll change the policy around it.

Until then, i won't send OCCT pro - the whole process should take a few weeks.

Thanks for your understanding !

OCCT is available in a Pro version, for professionnal. This version includes the following features :

• Bootable on a CD
• Supports monitoring - It will generate one graph per sensor detected. It will also auto-detect voltages sensors and CPU temperature sensor.
• Automatically launches a custom test - just start the computer on the CD, and you can come back one hour later, everything is automated !

It can be used in numerous cases :

• You're a Computer store and you are building computers without any OS. With this, you can be sure the computer is running fine !
• You're doing maintenance, and you want to check if this recurring blue-screen is a hardware or a software problem... just boot on OCCT's CD without installing it
• Check Temperature and Voltages without leaving any trace on the client's computer

This version is free and can be downloaded by sending me an email : iench at ocbase dot com . However, you have to be a professionnal to use this : it is not available to everybody.

While it is free, i REALLY encourages gifts, coupons, donations and any help you can give me, especially in sending me testing hardware to support more monitoring software. It is the only way i can get some benefits out of OCCT without starting a whole business stuff, which is time consuming here in France, and don't forget i'm developping this in my free time... so those donations are really, really appreciated, and encouraged :D

My advice would be to lower your CPU frequency, or do anything that can make your computer stable under OCCT.

OCCT stresses components alot. If an error was detected, your computer can generate those. they may happen everytime, usually under heavy loads. Thus, by ignoring this warning, you can have unexpected behaviour, for instance while playing, or while encoding a video...

Sometimes, this error isn't noticeable ( for instance, if in one frame of your favorite fps one point is not at the right spot, you probably won't notice it, and it won't crash your game). Sometimes, it is really noticeable ( if it happens in a critical CPU process, blue screen ! or if you were encoding, your video file will be corrupted).

I really advise you not to ignore OCCT's warning.

As said before, generating errors is a random task. So, if your computer is unstable, the error might be generated at the beginning of the test, and on the second run, much much later. However, tests tends to behave the same, mostly, and errors happens usually around the same time. Not always, but usually. if OCCT detected an error, you can stop there : there's a problem with your computer !

Right now, OCCT is reliable. No known bug will detect an error if there isn't. So if OCCT detects an error : something is wrong.

However, generating errors is random. There are cases where the computer is unstable and OCCT won't detect it. Usually, the longer the test, the higher the chance of detecting an error. For alot of people, 30 minutes-long tests are enough. You can jump to 2 hours or more if you want to double-check. Some people are known to test their computer for 24h !

OCCT currently supports Speedfan, Motherboard Monitor 5 and Everest. Systool support is also planned.

In order to add support for another monitoring app, i have 2 requirements

• This app has to be able to run on my own computer (I own a gigabyte motherboard, so exit Asus Probe and others for now :()
• It needs to have a "Shared memory" feature, or anything to access the values from outside the application. Without it, it's still doable, but much much much harder, and especially not as reliable ( one update and support might be gone )

As of now, i have no means of getting test hardware, especially motherboard. I even created OCCT on a Single-core CPU ! So as of now, i'm kind of stuck :( Maybe later. If the software you want support for fills the 2 requirements above, send me a mail to iench at ocbase dot com, i'll see what i can do :)

You probably have a processor with Intel's HT Technology ( Hyperthreading ).

This technology emulates 2 CPUs when there's only one.

However, this is just virtual, and for testing purposes, not relevant. Thus OCCT detects only one physical core, or processor, and uses it. Don't worry, your CPU is really at 100%, as displayed on OCCT !
