I'm looking to turn off hyperthreading on my i7 860. However, (Call me stupid) I can't figure out how to do it. I've checked every logical option in the BIOS, and there doesn't appear to be a setting in the Gigabyte supplied setup utilities. If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great.
Cheers! |

p.s. out of curiosity, why would you want to do that ?

There may be benefits in single applications?
Like using the extra juice dedicaed to the logical cores (HT threads)?
Don't know but that is my only thought on it. |

Perhaps, because some programs run faster without it than with HT enabled.

I had that in mind. A few fps more in Crysis? (I had to do that) |
