HT vs No HT

[Cecil]

Going to do some testing of 20x linX HT stable 24/7 speeds, vs the same without. With HT, 4.2HT is my 24/7 setting, with max temps at 74C, fans at silent settings. Once I find my non HT settings that matches, Ill start testing. So far at 4.4.

74C? LOL what you running a prescott?

74C? LOL what you running a prescott?

Huh?

920 at 1.38Vcore under load with HT on, and fans at ~600RPM. With them turned up its in the low 60s.

Your a lucky man Cecil to run those temps. I would be at 74 with fans turned up high. Prolly because the room I am in has a higher temp than the rest of the house. Keep us posted on this study of yours!

Well, final speeds are 4200HT, and 4410 no HT. Both load at 74C with fans at silent, and my AC off. And neither go over 1.375Vcore.

Will start adding results soon. The idea of this is to see if its worth running a lower speed with HT for 24/7 use.

I run with HT on - it helps me with some heavy multitasking and some multi-core programs I use, despite the higher temps.

[sofos1990]

HT on is better. On winrar benchmark the performance is amazing, if I remember well is 30% faster! BUT the temps are higher!
With HT off the temps are lower, BUT you can get more Mhz!
I've also heard that some guys prefer HT on, because it gives them more stability on high Mhz:)

LOL Uh oh, I do not think I was drinking when I posted that :p

If I was drinking it would have been long and drawn out post about the history of Intel, with segues into high finance, philosophy, and religion.

:)


And my typing and grammar skills would be flawless :)
