OCCT, the PC Stress Testing Utility, has just arrived on Linux

OCCT, our favourite stress testing tool, has just arrived on Linux

Here at OC3D, we use OCCT on an almost constant basis. It is a valuable tool for stress-testing PCs. We use it for CPU heatsink testing, system stability testing, and even GPU thermal testing. Now, OCCT is available on Linux, expanding the tool’s usefulness.

Previously, OCCT’s Linux version was only available to beta testers. Now, the tool’s Linux version is available to everyone. It supports many distributions, including Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Redhat, Arch Linux, and many others. On Linux, OCCT’s capabilities are the same as those of the tool’s Windows version. It includes CPU, GPU, and memory-focused tests, allowing users to test the stability and reliability of their systems.

Now that Linux support is available, OCCT’s feature set can be used more widely within the server industry. IT professionals, hardware manufacturers, and server operators can benefit from OCCT’s feature set. OCCT’s capabilities can be used to fine-tune systems, detect early signs of hardware failure, and test multiple GPUs in parallel with various tests.

What’s next for OCCT on Windows and Linux?

For the next while, OCCT’s development efforts will focus on improving its monitoring capabilities on Linux and polishing the tool’s feature set. Next, a new SSD testing tool will be a priority. Honestly, we are excited about the prospect of a new SSD testing tool. We do a lot of benchmarking here, and adding a new tool to our toolbox is always a welcome prospect.

In the coming months, our focus will be to keep enhancing OCCT’s monitoring capabilities on Linux.

Once the Linux version is fully polished, our next priority will be developing the highly anticipated SSD testing feature — our final step in making OCCT a complete testing solution.

OCCT is available to download from the official OCCT website.
