You're wondering what is OCCT ? Check our FAQ

First of all, i'd like to thank my partners :
Nvidia. OCCT v3 wouldn't exist without them.
Intel for their donation. I'm sure it will prove useful for the upcoming releases !

OCCT REQUIREMENTS

• Up-to-date DirectX9 (Under Vista, DirectX 10 and 9 are updated separatly) for GPU:3D and Power Supply
• Nvidia Drivers 181.22 or later for GPU:MEMTEST (Now based on CUDA 2.1,as several critical bugs have been fixed in this release).

Changelog (Since 3.0.1) : MAIN

• OCCT is now much better at detecting the prerequisites forn the tests (GPU:3D, GPU:MEMTEST and Power Supply)
• The name of the graphic card is now detected

CPU:LINPACK

• Hyperthreading support

GPU:3D

• The test has bee completly revamped. It is now MUCH more effective. Try it out !
• The error detection mode is much more effective. The results are very accurate.
• The algorithm has been made modular through the parameter "Shader Complexity". This represent the amount of work the graphic card has to do in one pass. Highest value is not always the best !
• The optimum Shader complexity value is auto-detected (if known) and shown as "Optimal" in the drop-down menu.

MONITORING

• Engine has been updated - new CPU support,...

UPDATE : Kaspersky has confirmed the issue and it should be fixed in their next viral database update

Kaspersky, in its recent updates, has been detecting OCCT has a trojan (Trojan-Banker.Win32.Banker.aevj) for some reason.

OCCT has been around for about 6 years now, and i never included any trojan, adwares of any kind and never will.

THIS IS A FALSE POSITIVE. REST ASSURED THAT OCCT IS PERFECTLY SAFE TO USE. I WILL NEVER DO SUCH A THING AS INCLUDE SOMETHING HARMFUL IN OCCT.

Kaspersky has been contacted to solve this issue. I have to say i am taking this matter very seriously, as this is killing OCCT's reputation ...

Changelog (Since 2.0.1) :

MAJOR FEATURES

• OCCT's main UI has been completly 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 completly 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...

I'm writing this update to keep you informed on OCCT's future.

Thanks to donations and the generosity of Nvidia , which sent me a 9800GTX graphic card, v3.0 is almost there.

Thanks to this new hardware, i could program a new test using Cuda, and even found a bug in cuda during the process. It was fixed by Nvidia, thanks to them ! I also worked alot on Direct3d, to provide you with new tests.

In short, OCCT v3.0 will be a huge revamp of OCCT. it will include 5 tests :

• The classical OCCT CPU Test
• A CPU test based on Linpack, a library made by Intel
• A 3D test written in Direct3d with an error detection mode. First tests shows higher temperatures on the GPU than anything else ;)
• A test based on Cuda, similar to MemTest86, but for the Graphic Card memory (It will be, at first, only compatible with Nvidia cards. An ATI version, made in their own language, will be released later on).
• A Power supply test, made of a 3d test and a CPU Test. The power consumption of your computer will reach new highs. Measures shows a power consumption that is 40% higher than Crysis or 3DMark.

The design and interface of OCCT has been completly revamped, as well as the way OCCT handles tests.

OCCT v3.0 should be out soon in beta, and i'd say the stable version should be there in a month or two :)

See you soon for OCCT 3.0, a version that'll be as significant as the step between OCCT v0 and OCCT Perestroïka !

OCCT Perestroïka 2.0.0a available !

You're wondering what is OCCT ? Check our FAQ

Changelog :

MONITORING

• BugFixs : Now OCCT properly detect all 4 cores temperatures on some quad-cores CPU, and OCCT properly detects CPUs in Vista (some were problematic)
• OCCT now supports ACPI Sensors and HDD Sensors (SMART)

TRANSLATION

• The "default.po" file used for translation is usable again - it was corrupted in the previous release

Changelog 2.0.0 :

TEST

• Brand new and more effective tests !
  • CPU : generating much more heat
  • RAM : More effective at generating errors
  • Mix (Former CPU&RAM) : alternating CPU and RAM tests. You'll see peaks in the CPU temperature graph : this is normal !
• Auto test is now 1h long
• Custom test is now 2h long by default. Don't forget you can change this in the options !
• A sound is played if any error is detected

MONITORING

• CPU-Z SDK used : OCCT now uses the CPU-Z SDK Engine to get your system information !

INTERFACE

• You can now select the custom test type in the main window of OCCT
• The ON button now blinks when a test is running (if it is not blinking : error or your computer froze)
• Option windows completly revised with new options (mainly related to graphs - see below)
• OCCT's version number is now visible on the main window
• Many new languages supported (Hebrew, Spanish,...)

GRAPHS
