OCCT Perestroika - 3.0.0.b04 released ! Stable : 2.0.1

[Tetedeiench]

Nice one. Btw when do you think you'll have a non-beta 3.0 version?

I think this will happen this month. I want to improve the GPU:Memtest, and to get all translations done before releasing.

[mattkosem]

Do your planned GPU:Memtest improvements include support for ATI?

--Matt

Yes, of course. For that, i need an ATI video card, and this will happen... well... when either i've got enough donations, either when a reseller or AMD or anyone else will send me an ATI card, hopefully dual-GPU so that i can get it done directly in SLI

However, this won't be done before quite some time, so expect a 4/5 months delay at least before getting your hands on an ATI version of GPU Memtest.

The Nvidia one will be updated in the next week (hopefully), and it will be a major update.

[ThugsRook]

Yes :

-f : Toggle Fullscreen (default : window mode)
-w=X : Screen/window width
-h=X : Screen/window height
-r=X : Refresh Rate
-e : error check

TY

I've skipped the annoucements of a few release, because they were mostly debugging versions, as i was struggling with linpack and 32 bits systems with more than 2GB of memory.

I've come to repair that mistake

OCCT PT 3.0.0.b22 OUT !

Changelog :

• The OCCT Test now executes as a separate process
• The bug known as "-1 core detected" is gone
• Monitoring/system info engine updated
• Linpack 32 bits test now works with systems with more than 4GB of memory - max mem considered is 1.44GB (universal value)
• The power supply test now works everywhere as well
• GPU:Memtest has been GREATLY updated : 6 thorough tests have been implemented, and they are EXACTLY the same as Memtest86+. One pass is takes much, much longer though (i'd say about 10 minutes). But the efficiency is now much better. Remember, you need a geforce 8 or later cards.

Enjoy !

Seems RC1 is out now, just went to this (http://www.ocbase.com/download.php?fileext=beta) download link and it's what downloaded

[stasio]

Yeah,RC1 is out from 23.Jan 2009.
Waiting for Tetedeiench changelog.

OCCT PT 3.0.0.b17 OUT !

Changelog :

• The OCCT Test is now executed in a separate process (this is done to open the way for the "one core not detected" bugfix).
• The OCCT GUI will now report on which core the error occured in the OCCT Test.
• The files "ThreadX.txt" aren't generated anymore (the previous point removes all need for them).
• The way translations are handled is now brand new and much, much more easy to update for me
• If the Linpack test refuses to start, OCCT will now lower the memory utilisation until a successfull start. You may see a small delay in launching the Linpack test, but it is usually less than a second in the worst case.
• The field showing the test duration is now always updated, depending on the test selected. Try to select "custom" and change the duration, you'll quickly see what i mean.

Enjoy !

For some reason my +5v line monitoring has disappeared....there seems to be no option in the options menu to enable (no +5v line in the drop down menu)...?

I had the +5v line monitoring in version 2

OCCT PT 3.0.0.RC2

[Richard Dower]

:does a dad dance around the room:

[Tetedeiench]

I just released the stable version one hour ago

You can find everything on OCCT's website www.ocbase.com

I also opened a board - but i expect one message per day - or so

Here's OCCT 3.0 changelog, and download links - i don't know if i should create a new thread or not.

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...

Enjoy !

Phew, tired after all that writing

Well done Tetedeiench

[Brama]

Good job!

[Crisao23]

Awesome, been waiting for this for a long time !

Thanks a lot for your hard work !

[burebista]

Tetedeiench Thanks a lot for your software. Probably it's the best all-in-one heating package.
Just a tiny-tiny request, latest Everest is able to read CPU power consumption from EPU or DES (sensor name is PCPU) and I'd like to see that in a graph among core temperatures.
I can see it in RivaTuner but I'd like a graph in OCCT too.



Thanks.

[kemo]

Good Job m8 , really working nicely

[003]

Is there any way to disable that 1-minute monitoring phase that occurs before any test?

[Brama]

I found a bug: using italian language, if I set max temperature to 100 C°, when I close the program and launch it again, max temp reverted to default 80° and frequently the sensors that I chosed are not in the provious position.

P.S. I found the Power Supply test very effective. After less than 10 minutes, it blew up my Tagan 580 W power supply with a couple of "bangs" and a disgusting burnt silicon smell....

[003]

I found a bug with linpack testing. I have a Core i7 920 and Windows XP x64 SP2, and when I run the linpack test (and also the PSU test), the CPU only gets loaded with 4 threads, not 8. On the normal OCCT CPU test, 8 threads does work when you enable the hyperthreading option. LinX 0.5.6 properly loads all 8 threads on the i7.

[anzial]

Is GPUmemtest to be trusted? I'm getting errors all over the place with my gtx280 which seems to be stable in all the games I play

[Tetedeiench]

BureBista > I didn't know about that feature. I only works with a limited numbers of PSU, right ?

003 > For the 1 min period : use the Infinite test

Brama > i'll look into it, as i've got several reports on such bugs. I'm pretty busy at the moment though, so i can't give you an ETA :/

003 > for i7 and Linpack > This is not a bug. Your i7 only has 4 physical cores. Linpack does not support HT at all.

[burebista]

BureBista > I didn't know about that feature. I only works with a limited numbers of PSU, right ?

A somehow limited MB models. All ASUS equipped with EPU and all Gigabyte equipped with DES and maybe MSI with DrMOS.
Something like that.

[anzial]

GPU memtest is buggered, imho. I've run Video Memory Stress Test for several hours w/o a single error in DirectX mode, while OCCT throws out errors all over the place.

[003]

003 > for i7 and Linpack > This is not a bug. Your i7 only has 4 physical cores. Linpack does not support HT at all.

How come LinX is able to load all 8 threads 100%? Maybe check with dualist to see how he was able to do that. OCCT is great now, it just needs to be able to load 8 threads on the i7 with linpack and it would be perfect!
