OCCT 6.1.0
Computer performance is very important for every user, especially those who are working with applications that require important system resources to work properly. In order to enhance it, you can use an overclocking utility, such as OCCT. This software is designed to help you monitor system hardware components and allow you to overclock them. It provides testing tools for the CPU (benchmark OCCT and LINPACK tests), the graphics card and the power supply.
The interface is intuitive and comprises two panels, one that includes the 'Monitoring' section and the other that displays the available tests.
In its main window, OCCT displays detailed information regarding your hardware devices, such as the CPU and the motherboard. Also, there is a table where you can view the current and the overclocked CPU and bus frequencies.
The CPU and the memory usage are constantly monitored and the values are displayed in a dynamic graph. By default, the program uses HWMonitor to generate them, but it also offers support from third party monitoring software, such as AIDA64, provided that you have them installed in your PC.
Whichever test you decide to choose, overclocking can easily be turned on or stopped anytime you want. Before starting, the user has the possibility to select the test type (infinite or automatic), configure its duration and idle periods, as well as other parameters, depending on the selected hardware device.
For instance, the LINPACK test allows you to choose the memory percentage, while choosing the GPU test lets you customize the resolution and the FPS limit.
Once the selected test is started, you can immediately view the effects on your CPU and memory usage graph, as well as the new values for the CPU frequency.
Although it does not offer a wide range of options, OCCT proves to be a handy tool for enhancing the overall system performance.
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.
Version 6.1.0

CPU:OCCT : Updated the Thread count tooltip to better reflect what the test is actually doing
-
3D : Completly rewrote the 3d test : no longer displays a window (this is normal !), and much more efficient than before
-
3D : Added a Limiter slider to lower the load on the selected GPU
-
3D : removed FPS limit, Resolution, and Fullscreen option (no use anymore)
-
POWER : Fixed the instruction set icon in the summary sometimes displaying "No AVX" when the test is using AVX
-
ENTERPRISE : Added a json file showing the result of the test at the end
-
ENTERPRISE : fixed 3d test icons reverting to the default (cogs)
-
ENTERPRISE : fixed a bug where the CSV file were not generated
