Why "Plus" Matters
The standard Hikari PE is freeware, but the HardwareTestSuite-Plus variant—specifically v8.51—includes scripts to log errors to an internal RAM disk. This prevents wear on the boot USB and ensures logs are captured even if the OS hard-crashes. The "Plus" license also unlocks the hardware monitoring graphs, displaying voltage rail fluctuations in real-time. hikari-pe-x64-v8.51-hardwaretestsuite-plus-en.iso
