This week, OCCT rolled out beta version v17 of its software, introducing a major evolution for the Douai-based company (France). In particular, this new version brings a complete overhaul of the memory test, now designed to check system stability in greater detail, particularly in the context of RAM overclocking.
With this update, OCCT offers a completely new modular memory test. Custom scenarios can be created by linking together different test blocks, which the user can configure to suit his or her needs. This includes methods inspired by well-known references such as TM5 or MemTest86, as well as tests developed directly by OCCT.
This approach takes memory stability analysis much further than the usual competition solutions, by targeting specific behaviors and precisely adjusting the load applied to the system, thanks to different types of test that can be chained together per block like a kind of macro. For example, you can simulate a 100% memory load while simultaneously applying AVX2 or SSE instructions to the processor, to reproduce scenarios close to real-life use at full load or the most intensive stress test possible.
You can, of course, create your own test sequences from A to Z, save them and share them with other users.
OCCT continues to grow in popularity with an ever more comprehensive software package. By teaming up with the likes of Intel to support its latest Xeon and Arrow Lake desktop processors, OCCT is once again showing that it wants to become a force to be reckoned with, with a complete solution capable of meeting all needs, from GPU stability tests to processor stability tests, RAM and more, while providing monitoring during the tests.
The question is: where will OCCT end?
