I am just wondering , in this picture is it showing the max temperatues or is it monitoring the current temperatures

because wouldnt the ON button glow green or something? its just cause it was on the desktop after i rma''d my system from overclockers to show the temps at 100% when they were testing as i am getting into the 80s . its a start tho because they were peaking at 100 when it was sent back which was why the rma was issued. I have re-seated the heatsink fan and it dropped a few c's so im about 82 82 78 78 now at full load with prime95 , if i tried to use occt it was say the cpu was too hot and just stop the stress test

In the picture it's (supposedly) showing load temp and the test is running which is why the go button is greyed out, although that said it's also showing your 12v rail as 7.87V which is impossible.

I've just run OCCT on my i7@4ghz and OCCT was reporting load temp of 56C, I know full well that with Core Temp and Linx stress test the load temp is 65ish.

That's with watercooling when I had a Megalahem it was 80-85C (linx/coretemp).

From what I can gather OCCT isn't particularly stressful compared to Linx/Prime95, either that or its temperature monitoring can't be trusted.

Blimey thats gone a bit high tech since I last used it!

thanks , thats what was used to test my system after i rma'd it. I was told on the phone that OCCT was more stressfull than prime95, if what you say is true that OCCT load temps about 9c cooler then its correct as my highest load temp is about 83-84 , about 9c more :O than the highest shown on the OCCT screenshot . I wonder if they tried to trick me

It's definitely not more stressful, infact it's quite the opposite from my testing.

I've just run OCC 3.1.0 alongside Core Temp, the temperature probing does seem to be accurate but like I said it's considerably lower than full load under LinX (LinX is based on Intel's Linpack benchmark).
