Hey guys, long time no see

I came here to warn you about the new beta, but it seems somebody else already did

Thanks stasio !

I have to warn you about one thing though (the new version will include a HUGE warning of some sorts) : the power supply test is HARDCORE and could very well mean the death of your power supply.

Tests shows that OCCT Power supply demands 20% to 30% more power than Crysis or 3dmark on dual-cores... and 50% more on quad-cores !

So be warned if you've got a no-name power supply (or "cheap" brands such as LC Power, heden), as OCCT already killed a few of those (they sported a 550W label, they didn't take the test with a dual-core and a HD4850 or such graphic cards). Be warned !

Oh, and there's still something missing with the current version : there're no profile for OCCT GPU at the moment. That means SLI people have to create it manually. Next version should be able to create it automatically for Nvidia, and i have yet to get my hands on an ATI card to get a look into it.

Have fun boys, and thanks for your support !
