July 10, 20169 yr Been going around the internet and just found out that turning off hyperthreading may increase perfomance. I wanted to try it but could not manage to turn it off, can someone please help me!! Thanks in advance //Fredrik
July 10, 20169 yr It should be an enable/disable setting in the bios. Look under CPU features. Jose A.

July 10, 20169 yr Welcome to the forum(s). This may explain it: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2422874,00.asp . If not, try a Google search on "how to turn off hyperthreading" and include your computer make and model number in the search.

July 10, 20169 yr I turn it off on my 6700K, I use no FPS increase but I get a lot more heat even with my Corsair water cooler.Cheers! Ron Hamilton "95% is half the truth, but most of it is lies, but if you read half of what is written, you'll be okay." __ Honey Boo Boo's Mom

July 10, 20169 yr Go into the BIOS (reboot button DELETE) there select Settings Overclocking and bottom CPU features there Hyperthreading Enabele or Disable. i7-10700k 5,1 GHz - 18 GB RAM - ASUS 1080Ti - Dell G-Sync Monitor

July 11, 20169 yr I have an ASUS Z77 motherboard that I use to OV my i7-3770k. I'm not sure if my HT is on or off, but should it be on or off for better performance? I play other games too, not only flight simming, so I'm not sure which setting would be more beneficial for me.

July 12, 20169 yr I would always set HT=on if you use the PC for other stuff then P3D. For P3D only one can argue that you get lower temps with HT off and therefore more room for overclocking and therefore more single core performance. However I get a lot less blurries with HT on and the decrease in FPS from 4.7 GHz to 4.3 GHz (on the i7 6700K) are not really hard. So I personally go with HT on. Otherwise one could simply go for an i5....
July 12, 20169 yr Just remember what the first 4 letters of the word hyperthreading are. The video posted above neglects to mention a key point, that if one runs two threads on one physical core, they run at only very slightly better than half speed of one thread running on one physical core. For flight sim apps, the improvement is negligible, if any.
