Hey all was doing a little forum search and came across this new OCCT program for free to check out the stability of your OverClocking.

NEW been using it for several years it's a great stability quick check.

I hadn't known about this before, thanks! But I do feel the need to ask. Programs such as this, Prime 95, or Orthos essentially test stability by stressing your CPU. Does it necessarily matter which one you use as long as all the core(s) in your processor are being stressed? Or is it simply up to user preference?

Having said that, this looks like it tests both CPU + memory in 1 go. 

As you have already stated the OCCT stresses both the CPU & RAM where as the Prime 95 only stresses the CPU cores & Memtest only stresses the RAM as for Orthos I have not used it so can not comment on that 1. The OCCT does a quick stress test in 1 hour or you can set it for how ever long you want, the Prime 95 needs to run numorous hours for its tests and Memtest just keeps running the same tests over and over till you stop it. Therefore I feel its a personnel preference as to how long you want to run it or which 1 you want to run. 

well im running this right now but its stating my 12v is runnign at 11.78/11.84 on a 12v which isnt that bad? i mean hell this psu is only like a month old. BTW i have had bsod during gaming and sometimes random bsod, Do you think this is the cause?

Yes your PSU could be the cause of it with a 450 watt 2 rail 1 at 16 amps and 1 at 14 amps then low power output combined, this could cause your BSOD problems when playing high power games it does put a higher demand on the CPU, RAM and GPU.
