Three weeks ago released another version:
OCCT 3.0.1a.b01
Hey guys..
I have been using OCCT to stress my CPU, but having issues with it on the GPU.
Setup:
AMD Phenom II 940 BE
Silverstone Zeus
Gigabye 790GX mobo
(2) AMD 4870 (CF)
Windows Vista 32.
I can run the CPU just fine, but I can't do GPU.
The program complains that I'm not running Direct X 9, and something about Cuda.
Since I'm running Vista, I have DirectX 10, and Cuda shouldn't matter since I am on AMD / ATI Gpu.
Any suggestions?

PS - dude.. i love the logging feature!! Graphs and CSV.. it is awesome.
PSS - Just installed 3.0.1ab01, and sitll have the issue.
OCCT needs an updated DirectX9 to be able to properly run. Vista comes with DirectX 10, and only 10. If you update DirectX10, you only update DirectX10, and not 9.
Go to the microsoft website, and update DirectX. Easiest way is to go to google, and search for "dxwebsetup.exe".
This should be the best way, and has a validation required :

If you don't want the validation, you can always get the redist version, but it is a bit more cumbersome (download the whole thing, extract the directory manually, go there, and launch the setup file) :

Stasio - thanks for the update. I will give it a shot later tonight.

OCCT 3.0.2.b02
* CPU:Linpack now supports Hyperthreading. Just make sure the HT checkbox is checked.
* The "Hyperthreading as dual-core" checkbox as been renamed as "Hyperthreading". Simpler, and much easier to understand.
* The Hyperthreading Checkbox is now checked by default for the CPU:OCCT and CPU:Linpack tests if your CPU supports HT. It will only be so on the first run, of course. If you uncheck it, OCCT will remember it.
This program is an awesome all in one tool for overclocking. The gpu test heats my gpu to the same temperature as furmark. The only thing this program would need is a gpu clock/voltage adjustment panel (like EVGA precision). Good job this program rocks!! :up:

I have been using your program in varoius versions since jan 2008 and what an awesome job you have done with the development. Love the 3.0.1 version. The test mode under Linpak and OCCT is greyed out whenever I first launch (vista 32 bit, even launch as administrator) but becomes available after runing with default setting on the first run. Is this intentional or am I doing something wrong?
Ok, I just had to change the test type to custom ! lol
OCCT 3.1.0.b04
Changelog :
Main (OCCT GUI)
* GPU:OCCT v0.70 has been integrated !
* OCCT now detects and displays the name of your graphic card (only if it supports internal monitoring, i'm relying on CPU-Z to do this detection)
* OCCT now auto-configure the Shader complexity value based on a CSV file named "ShaderComplexity.csv" file that you can edit. First match on the GC name wins. Wildcards are supported. Edit the file, it's pretty easy to understand.
* A compatibility checking engine has been implemented, that improves OCCT's detection of your computer's compatibility with Cuda and D3D tests.
OCCT 3.1.0.b06
# Main screen resolution will be detected when the user clicks on Fullscreen checkbox in GPU:3D and Power Supply tabs.
# SLI/Crossfire detection improved
# Translation files updates
# A sanity check has been added that verifies that the .exe tests are there, all of them. Seems an "of course", but this ensures the integroty of the download, and that the user indeed uncompress the .zip file with the folder intact.
# Help has been added on the Shader Complexity value
# The red square used to display text in the GPU:3D test has been made wider. We thus jumped to GPU:3D v0.71. Minor modification.
OCCT 3.1.0. RC1
Changelog :
* Fixed a bug that still caused the "error on core -1" message on a few systems
I'm having an issue with OCCT not displaying voltages properly on my i7 920/EVGA X58 Micro-ATX setup. It doesn't display correct voltages for Vcore or any of the PSU volatages.
I'm assuming this is a compatibility issue, since I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, but haven't yet had any luck searching for a solution. Wondering if it could be related to the DirectX9 issue mentioned in post #258?
I figure this has been covered elsewhere, but danged if I can find it.
In the OCCT setting you can set which software you want to displaying voltages properly:
Built-in,Everest,MM 5,SpeedFan 4.xx and SysTool 1.0.
Best are Everest(enable in Preferences/External Application) and set in OCCT what you want to display.
Btw,latest OCCT:

Thank you, stasio! Worked like a charm (I knew I was making it too difficult ;) )
Did i mention how much i <3 oCCt? :P
REBUILD!
A little thread necro here, but I have run into a problem with OCCT 3.1.0 and my Gulftown processor. It seems that the program doesn't read the temps on the hex core i7 procs correctly. It will only show 2 temp boxes active, with the other 2 grayed out. And the numbers it's posting are totally bogus, showing around 27 C max. And they don't follow processor loading either. The program itself seem to load all 6 ocres well and also will handles hyperthreading fine too, but the temp monitoring is FUBAR.
Do you plan to update this fine benchmarking tool you have made? I sincerely hope so, since it has been working so well for me until now. I've been using this as my loading and recording program when testing heatsinks, but the broken temp readings kind of messes that up with my new Gulftown.
Have you tried changing the sensor setting to "use alternate" ?Quote:

The only choices I see for different software are Everest, which I don't have and won't pay for, Speedfan, which I have found to give me problems recently, MBM which is older than crap and Systool v.1.0, which I've never messed with before.
OCCT 4.0.0 Beta 2
http://www.ocbase.com/OpenBeta/OCCTPT4.0.0.b02.zip
OCCT v4 is under heavy, heavy work. It will soon reach the alpha stage, and is a major release.
It will bring notably :
* New interface written in C# 2.0
* Real-time graphs
* Tests handling improved, options simplified
* Alerts (Min/max) will be configurable per sensor, and not only for the CPU temp
* Fan monitoring
Tests themselves will be next on the line of modifications, mainly :
* Port GPU:3D to DirectX10 or 11
* Redo the GPU:Mem test i'm not happy with
* Update CPU:Linpack

Propagation of my betas here is still very quick :DQuote:

if you don't flame me for all the bugs, feel free to test it :)
cant wait for this new version.. best stability testing app ever !!!
Thank you soo much :)
I love OCCT, but sensors and temps aren't read correctly on new boards and I had to stop using it :(Quote:

Every update of OCCT improves the monitoring/CPU detection logic, so it should be better with OCCT v4.Quote:

As i said to stasio, those are early betas and reflect have gone over a year or so of development, despite the looks, it is a very major release. i do suspect that the list of betas will be long this time...
not sure if this is included, and if not i have a request:
i love the charts and data acquisition, but there was no way to use it unless i turn on a test. so can we have a monitoring mode which logs all the numbers but without stressing any component?
