1137990 2010-09-18 03:00:00 Can anyone tell me how to cancel hyperthreading on an i7 DFI Lan Party motherboard.
I can't find any mention of HT in bios
Thanks,
Jack

1137991 2010-09-18 03:12:00 It should be in the BIOS. If it isn't it doesnt support it (The CPU thats on it). Not all high end CPU's do Speedy Gonzales (78)

I'm pretty sure it does. Task manager shows twelve processors.

1137993 2010-09-18 04:12:00 Which I7 is it. Look on Google / the intel site for the CPU. It it says it doesnt support HT then the option wont be in the BIOS Speedy Gonzales (78)
1137994 2010-09-18 07:09:00 All i7 CPUs have HTT. It should be in the BIOS, very unlikely DFI would make a BIOS that doesn't have that option. qazwsxokmijn (102)
1137995 2010-09-18 07:24:00 Look in the manual for the option Speedy Gonzales (78)
1137996 2010-09-18 08:05:00 It might be somewhere stupid - I found the option to turn on hardware enabled virtualisation extensions on my PC under "System Security" settings in the BIOS. somebody (208)

Some believe it lowers power consumption and therefore heat, as HTT only offers some improvement in a small amount of apps its seen as worthless unless you specifically use one of those apps of course.

Personally I couldnt see a tangible thermal diff between on and off when testing so I just leave them on.

Lol it DOES, my i7's temps drop by 10 degrees when HTT is off.
