OCCT Perestroika is the full name of a program commonly called Excellent stability program by Tetedeiench. Favored for its 30 minute test, comparable to Prime95 and Orthos however some users report it detects more errors than Prime95 or Orthos. It is one of the few multi-core CPU stability tests currently existing.

Features

  • Up to 16-core support ( 8 Dual-core CPUs or 4 Quad-core CPUs... ). It has been tested successfully on 2 Quad-core Xeons (Clovertown) and 4 Conroes (Dual-Core)
  • Customizable tests ( Duration (fixed or Infinite), Priority, Test type (CPU, RAM, or CPU&RAM), ... )
  • Very efficient error detection algorithm - currently believed to be the fastest on Multi-Core CPUs
  • CPU and Motherboard detection
  • Monitoring support through 3rd party application ( i.e. MBM5, SpeedFan and Everest Ultimate Edition 3.50 or above )
  • Produce graphs showing Temperatures and Voltages behavior during the test. Multi-Core CPU sensors are now supported, as well as Custom sensors (name it the way you like)
  • Vista-compatible
  • Multi-language support

How to use

Following download of the program and installation it is recommended to install SpeedFan, Everest or Motherboard Monitor as using OCCT with one of them will enable addition monitoring features. A log and graph of temperatures and voltages is created and a high temperature shut feature is available. These advanced features provide a true picture of your cooling system's ability to cope the heat load.

Graphing features

If OCCT is used with SpeedFan, Everest or Motherboard Monitor then additional graphing features will be enabled. Depending on the application monitoring may be simply for core temperatures or it may include all system voltages. These numbers will logged and at the end of a test the results will be graphed along with system information including motherboard, FSB speed, date and time along. These graphs will be saved in the Documents or My Documents folders in a subfolder named OCCT. From there they are saved according to date.

The images graphed can be immediately uploaded to this site's forums for display to other users. We suggest use of the 'Attachments' button when posting to upload your images so that other users may learn from your overclocks and you may receive greater assistance in your overclock.
