OCCT turns 20

The OCCT is a stability and stress tool for PCs. It is a full toolbox for testing of CPUs, GPUs, system memory, graphics memory and even power supplies. Users who have just bought their new PC, overclockers or simply those who need to figure out why their system not working properly, will find all the necessary features in one free tool. Advanced users, those who need more features or longer stress tests (longer than 1 hour), will have to pay for the Advanced edition.

The latest 12.0 version brings a 70% rewritten code of the application, a new refresh for the user interface and features like GPU certification (only for paid users). The developer is still developing a version for the Linux operating system, which should no doubt be an important update.

OCCT V12 Changelog

  • Rewrote 70% of the application – switched to net core. UI will feel much more reactive, will use less CPU, at the cost of some memory usage
  • Removed a lot of dependencies – OCCT has never been THAT portable
  • Added the ability to launch an external program to OCCT through the Monitoring Only test
  • Halfway there for Linux compatibility
  • Introducing a brand new UI with lots of features. The most prominent is the top-level monitoring bar that is slated to improve a lot over time !
  • Updated monitoring engine
  • You can now more easily filter monitoring values. Use the right click to do so !
  • Graphs can be clicked to pinpoint values accurately. Give it a shot
  • Introducing GPU, System, and System (no 3D) stablity certificates
  • Added report comparison feature – contact us for more detail
  • The translation system will be released in an upcoming version of OCCT – this is english only for the time being. Sorry for that delay – it definitely needs some more time
