Download PassMark BurninTest 6.0 build 1006

PassMark Software has released an update for BurninTest 6.0. This program puts the various parts of the computer to work in order to test the reliability and stability of the system.

More information about the differences between them is here to find. The changelog of this release shows the following changes and improvements:
