What if your last bluescreen was due to a hardware failure ?

OCCT is the most popular CPU/GPU/Power Supply testing tool available. OCCT is great at generating heavy loads on your components, and aims at detecting hardware errors or overclocking issues faster than anything else. A monitoring engine is also embedded, to ease diagnostic and see how your computer reacts under heavy load using graphs.

Special Notice

OCCT is free for personal use only !

If you are running OCCT in a corporate or commercial environment, you have to buy a PRO license to use OCCT

I see an increasing number of companies downloading the free version of OCCT and shamelessly using it in their corporate environment. The free version of OCCT is meant to make OCCT as useful and widely used as possible. This has been the case since it started, back in 2003.

This time, when you do this, you aren't stealing from a big company !

OCCT isn't enough to make a living as of now (far from it). Please support me and participate in keeping the free edition... free for everyone !

News

OCCT Enterprise

Chain tests, command-line support, and fine-grain HTML report !

OCCT 6.0.0 now available

Features

Free edition

5 Tests

OCCT includes 5 different tests : OCCT and Linpack for your CPU, 3D and Memtest for your Graphic card, and Power to stress your power supply. You can even monitor your PC while using an external app to generate reports using the Monitoring-only test !

Monitoring

OCCT will monitor your computer and present you real-time graphs showing you temperatures, voltages, fan speed, frequencies, component usage, and power consumption during your tests.

Built-in protection for your computer

Worried about frying your components ? Turn the maximum temperature threshold in OCCT's options ! Should a component reach this critical temperature during a test, OCCT will stop itself immediately.

Test report

At the end of a test, you will be able to save a full graphical report of what happened during the test, for diagnostic purposes. Free for the first 5 tests, with a personal license afterwards.

Pro edition

Allowed to run on domain-joined computers

OCCT's free edition won't run on computers joined to domain, this version removes that limit entirely

CSV readings export

OCCT will generate a CSV files containing all the monitoring readings upon saving a test report. Use it to build your own graphs !

Enterprise edition

Build your own test

Chain different test phases to build your own schedule. Everything is done graphically in the app, using drag&drop, for an easy configuration ! You can also export test configurations to a file

Detailed test report

Gain access to fully detailed, fine-grain test reports in HTML file format (single-file), allowing you to analyze easily the behaviour of your computer during the test, and use it as a comparison point between two different test runs.Preview it here !

Command-line support

Start OCCT with command-line switches, to automatically start a test, choose where to output the report, configure the report name,...

Pricing

OCCT hasn't gone fully commercial !

All features, except the test report in png format, are still available in the free version !

OCCT has been around since 2003, free to use except for professional users. This scheme worked to the extend of covering hosting costs, and purchasing license and test hardware for developing OCCT. However, at the time i write this, OCCT has not been making a penny for its authors.

To encourage everyone to participate in the OCCT adventure, we introduced a very cheap license system so that you can show your support to OCCT.

Please review the prices below and help us in developing OCCT !

Help us translate OCCT !

Translating OCCT is easy. First, download the english translation file : English.lang . Save it next to OCCT.exe and rename it to the language you're going to translate OCCT to.

Edit it using your favorite text editor ( i like Notepad++, but any will work - make sure you keep UTF-8 as the encoding though).

The first line says : <Language Name="English"> . Replace "English", obviously.

You'll then find the block for the language codes supported by this translation. Just list whichever language code applies to your translation. These are used by OCCT to automatically load your language file on startup, by matching this code with Windows's display language. For instance, here is the French language code list :

You'll find a list of language codes here. Look at the last column.

Then, it is just a matter of replacing every string by its translation. When you're done, start OCCT, and your translation will be available in the option menu (the gear icon). Test it, and send it to support@ocbase.com

Which test is the best at detecting hardware errors ?

CPU:OCCT, Large data set, with Auto number of threads is, hands-down, what will detect CPU/Memory/Motherboard stability issues faster. Use GPU:3D in fullscreen mode for GPU testing, GPU:Memtest for testing your Graphic card's Memory, and Power supply for testing your PSU. Most errors are detected within the first 5 minutes. However, i recommend doing at least a 1 hour long test just to be sure.

Which test puts the most stress on the CPU ?

If you have an Intel CPU, try the latest Linpack version available. OCCT's CPU Test with Small data set is the best on AMD CPUs, and a close second on Intel CPUs.

GPU:3D and furry donut based tests are Power virus

NO ! A Power virus is a stress test that you do not have control upon. This term was applied to OCCT's GPU test when we launched its first version, 10 years ago, by the marketing team of a certain brand of graphic card's manufacturer, when their shiny new graphic card could not withstand the test at all - it blackscreened instantly and required a reboot. This was due to a design failure of their reference design board. I don't know why the term sticked, despite being wrong. GPU:3D is a stability test just like the others.

Starting at how many errors do you consider a computer unstable ?

Seriously : One.

Why isn't GPU Memtest's allocating all the memory on my card ?

A part of the memory of your Graphic card is allocated by the OS (for rendering the desktop and such), and other applications. The test goes to the maximum allowed memory allocation on your graphic card - until OpenCL spits out an error in fact. This usually ends up being more than 90% of your graphic card's total memory, depending on your graphic card model and your current usage, mostly.

Do I have to purchase OCCT to know where the errors come from ?

No ! The Free version has always been designed to be usable "as is". OCCT isn't withholding information from you (I would call that stealing). It detects errors, but can't tell you where they come from. On the software point of view, it is as if it asked the for 2 + 2 and got 5 as an answer.

It is because the CPU miscalculated and answered that 2 + 2 = 5 ?
Is it because the memory stored a 3 instead of a 2 ?
Is it because when transferring the 2 from the memory to the CPU, the 2 got transformed to a 3 ?

As there's no sure way of reproducing the error that occurred, there's no way of knowing what is going on. To further pinpoint errors, you have to dig yourself : lower the CPU frequency a notch and see if things are going better, up a voltage very carefully and see if it holds better... and pinpoint where the errors comes from. If you have access to spare parts, it is even easier to diagnose : replace and see what's going on.

I lost my license : how can I get it back ?

Send an email to support@ocbase.com and please give us at least a day for sending you your license back.

I am not using OCCT in a commercial or professional environment, yet my computer is joined to a windows domain. Can i run OCCT ?

Only the PRO version of OCCT will accept to launch on a computer joined to a windows domain. This is meant at detecting uses in professional and commercial environment, as they heavily rely on Windows domain. In the past, as there are enthousiasts that have a Windows domain at home, we offered a way of disabling this check as they were indeed not in a commercial environment, but this saw too much abuse. About 90% of the requests were from people trying to avoid the PRO license entirely. We thus removed that possibility, and you indeed need a PRO license now to run OCCT on a computer joined to a Windows domain.
