Multi-core supported OCCT

Didn't see anything about this but it's been out for a few weeks

http://www.ocbase.com/perestroika_en/

Quote:

Ocbase.com is the home of OCCT, a free CPU/memory stability test.

OCCT comes from "OverClock Checking Tool". Here is a list of its features :
Up to 16-core support ( for instance, up to a Quad-Kentsfield or an Octo-Conroe )
Customizable tests ( Duration, Priority, CPU or RAM, ... )
CPU and Motherboard detection
Monitoring support through 3rd party application ( i.e. MBM5, Speedfan and Everest Ultimate Edition 3.50 or above )
Can produce graphs showing temperature and voltages during the test : Unique feature !
Multi-language support

and much more !

Sounds great the old version was a very good stability tool, more stressfull then prime and only 30 minutes, great :D. :toast:

I am using this all the time :)
30 mins + 3dmark 06 a few times + gaming + WCG 24/7 :D

Usually occt + 3dmark is enough to say that the system is stable

I think 30 mins is a little too short, probably doing the custom test of 1 hour of this would be enough though :)

I have see this one was in preparation, and totally forget to see when it will be here.. thanks!!

I was liked use it for test voltage too during stress test...

Hallehuyah!

Multicore support was one of the things that made me choose s&m & ignore this as a part of my OC stability toolbox.

Got just the CPU to test this w/ :woot:

it doesn't seem to do anything...

I have a Quad Core here, and it doesn't stress a single core, raise a single temp, or even touch the ram... it just doesn't seem to do anything more then report my speed and such.

and you pressed the RUN button???

edit: oh, and you do know that it does nothing for the first 1 minute and the last 4 minutes so it can take idle readings for the graphs?

don't know why Kunnaak:

here some screen dual core runing

you see the 2 core running at 100%.... yet i can test it with a Quad core.. will ask peoples...if they are not in hollidays.

It hasnt worked very well for me , It tested my x2 3800 and siad it was stable @ 2.9 each core

I cant get it prime stable over 2.75 though

It failed mine within 3 minutes, doesn't seem right as I haven't had a single program crash... :confused:

Hey guys ;)

I found this thread about OCCT, so i thought i might as well keep you guys updated :) (I'm the guy behind OCCT)

I just reached 1.1.0.b09, which includes new features, like :
*New, more effective Error detection algorithm
*Multi-CPU temperature support
*Custom temperature and voltages support
*Modified graphic design
*Maximum CPU Temperature
*Hyperthreading as Dual-core Option ( i.e. treat a P4 HT as if it was a Dual-Core Pentium 4 ==> launch 2 threads )

This version, once properly translated into foreign languages ( english is fine, french too, i miss the other translations) will soon be released as 1.0.3 ( i'm making a release mid-way, otherwise the delay between 2 versions would have been too long).

Just tell me how it works for you, and tell me if you find any new bugs !

http://www.ocbase.com/OpenBeta/OCCTPT1.1.0.b09.zip

Kunaak : can you try again this new version, and tell me how many cores OCCT detects ( in system monitor, look for "Core number") ? i'm wondering what's happening, i've had good reports from previous Quad-core users.

Great I will test it, keep great work on OCCT :)
It has become one of the favorite stability tests :D

Do your other progs stress and heat your cpu that much? Try also running 3dmark06 in a loop for 2-3 hours

Thanks :)

OCCT is a bit more demanding and stresses the CPU a bit more, from testing results, as the other CPU stability program with error checking.

I'll never be on par with TAT on C2duos :)

And keep in mind that we are dealing with a random thing : sometimes an error will be generated, sometimes not. OCCT just stresses your CPU to make an error likely to happen... but the time it is detected and produced may vary. But you can be sure of one thing : you should always trust the program detecting an error. OCCT, SP2004, Prime95 can be trusted :) Others too, probably. That's up to your own judgement !

Hey is there anyway you can make the bootable cd version of occt public or send a link to people that want it?

Need to commend Tetedeiench for his contribution and efforts for making OCCT world wide known programme in stability testing.
Few months ago, when he came to the biggest Croatian computer forum (didn`t even know how he found us, cause we aren`t well known) we were amazed by his effort to help us, by answering all the questions we had for him, about OCCT. We contributed by helping him in translation of the programme to our language.
Now we are very proud to have such a programme translated in our native language.

We wish that our cooperation continues in the future...;)

Yeah, I had an encoding program running at 100% (That's 100% on both cores) CPU usage for about 6-7 hours a few times and I also passed dual 32 million Super Pi calculations last night. Perhaps it doesn't like some of the files installed on my PC.

I don't have 3dmark06 nor do I have sufficient download quota to get it.

Okay - 1st Gripe on loss of feature

I like occt (single core - old version) because I could SET my memory used to use ALL my memory! (by constantly loading, then unloading memory up to the amt I specified.

I see NO setting to enter a SPECIFIC memory amt, thus limit the usefulness of this tool.
This is a very specific feature that I see missing,

Until I see this remedied, this is a non useful pgm.
:toast: I hope this is an easy fix.

Not really :/ It's actually the only way i can get the money back from what i invested in OCCT (hosting, graphics, and other stuff). End-users should not need this kind of stuff, or rarely... if they do, they probably don't need OCCT to see they've got a problem if they can't install windows ;)

hey vuco :)

Actually, i'm looking at the links leading to my website/downloads. Especially those speaking not-yet supported languages, i order to get a few translations :)

Thats' how i found you guys...

I'll always remember how hardit was to register in a croatian board ;) Almost as hard as Russian :D

i'll make sure i keep you guys updated : you helped me alot, and i've already made a few surprised colleagues(?) at work, seeing me answer on a croatian board in english about my app :D

In OCCT v0.91, you could set the memory used by it.

However, what OCCT was doing was using a random portion of that memory to run its test.

I disabled that feature because i'll include in 1.1.0 an algorithm that's gonna do a "memtest" like under windows, eating up all the available memory but the one that's already taken by windows.

It'll be included in the auto test as well.

OCCT is, as it stands and as it was in 0.91, a poor memory tester, as it only test the data stored for its algorithm, which isn't eating up the entire memory. It's poor compared to memtest :)

However, it's great at detecting transfer error caused by repeated memory transfers, chipset, and CPU errors. It's just really poor at detecting bad blocks in memory... and memtest is there for that :) It'll improve with 1.1.0, but still won't be that great IMHO. It'll be a nice addition mind you.

Just to make sure, OCCT is like testing a highway with a sports car : you'll see how well the road grips, you'll see how well your car performs, but if there's a hole in the road, you might as well completly miss it, because you didn't pass right on top of it. So you'll know if your road + car can stand rushing at that high speed, if your car is reliable, but not if the road is completly flawless (one rush is not enough : you need another test to do that, and inspect the road surface to get the hole).

I already replied (there are 3 posts of me above) ;) Feeling talkative today.

I don't think i will, at least for now. It's the only way i can get enough money to fund OCCT ( i'm not even talking about making money, just getting a tad back of what i've invested over those 3 years i've bee on that project).

Plus, i don't think high-end users really need this version. If you can't install Windows XP on your computer, or boot windows, you don't need OCCT to know you've got a real problem in your hands :D It's only really useful for companies selling computers without any OS : it enable them to test them without leaving any trace on the hard disk.

oops sorry I did not see your post from before. I did not know that you were charging for the bootable version, sorry :(

it feals about as sensitive to error as Orthos give or take.

got through 1.5 mins of this and it crashed, i then restarted and increased my drive strengths same crashing of the program.

orthos hangs the system after 3 seconds at the same settings...

IMO i think its better for testing cpu stability moreso than chipset and RAM staqbility(my CPU was or atr the least should have been stable I gave it a .5V increase for 33mhz(4mhz FSB) over a 24/7 prime)

I just decreased my overclocked to 2.43GHz, I have a feeling it was the HTT causing the problems. I'm now at 22 minutes.
