Small Poll: i7 users are you running HT on or off?

[dengyong]

HT on... it's got it, I'm using it.

[justin.kerr]

4.7Ghz HT on or 4.8Ghz HT off... no brainer have it ON.

[Chrono Detector]

I left it on, I bought an i7 and it will be a waste if I disabled it, and yes I need that extra power.

[fatguy1992]

I have it on as I have no reason to disable it.

[McBacker]

HT Off. Useless @ gaming and CPU run cooler...

[Serpentarius]

Novell, IBM, Microsoft recommends disable HT ... or so i read

http://www.taranfx.com/hyper-threading-cpu

but generally there's no significant performance with HT, as the multi cores has already outperformed HT

-First, my F@H benefit from HT.
-Second, i7 without HT is the same as i5 clock-for-clock, I paid for an i7, there is no reason to disable it .

HT ON, (I actually bought an i7 because of the HT) if I were to keep it off, I would probably just go with the Core i5 750.

"HT OFF because my programs for the most part do not use it."

COD series gets better FPS w/ HT Disabled, so i disable it.

(when i use my 920. w/ 750 no need.)

HT on because I like the extra 4 bars in my CPU meter gadget.

[Onoff312]

I have no reason to have it on or off but i would like some tests or benchmarks in games and apps between HT on and off because i know you can save a heap of power of the electricity bill with it off and much higher clocks at lower volts then i have currently.

[Dopamin3]

HT on because it's what I paid for. And it's nice to run F@H on 4 cores while you can still play games and go about basic computing.

[saxovtsmike]

HT on because: 1)I can run the desired 4.2Ghz speed (1.32v), 2)I can handle the heat (71c Linx max), 3)I read that win7 benefit from it.

Could not have said it better, with the slight addition that my 3520 needs 1.34V for the desired 4.2ghz with 73.69.69.66°c on the cores

I run mine both ways depending on what I am doing. The main use of my system is trans coding HDTV to Xvid (6~10hrs a day) and occasionally x264 (5~6hrs a week). I run with all power saving features enabled and with HT enabled xvid will not load the cpu enough to keep it at the 21x multiplier. So I normally run with HT disabled and when I have some x264 to encode I just reboot with a different profile with HT enabled.

Yeah I have been thinking on just having dual profiles too.. its easy really so you have your best HT and your best non HT overclock...
