Yes, it does get better GFlops with HT Off. I mimicked the settings from p3gaz's 3770k 5Ghz 4t4c results and got very similar gflops (stopped at 3 iterations as the official 21-iteration submission is the one above):

Seems I'm on par at least with 4c4t 5Ghz.

I used the latest linx(0.64)_10.3.10.017 binaries. deachus' 135GFlops peak for 2600K 4c8t 5ghz result is something special, beating the other 2600k 4c8t results on page 1, even those with 5.1-5.3Ghz. It also beat by 20GFlops Dumo's 5.004Ghz results which had close but tighter tRP timing. I took out my hypers from storage and mimicked the settings (5Ghz 2133 c7-9-7-20) from deachus on my 3770k and was able to beat Dumo's results only by a couple of GFlops:

So there's some marginal IB gain from Dumo's SB results but still lagging like everyone else when compared to deachus.

Yup (ran it slack on purpose to make it easier to get stable results). But tightening CR and subtimings there would give only marginal improvement and still won't catch deachus' results.

So let's have more 3770k >= 5Ghz 4c8t results please ...
There are several of us that don't lag behind deachus. It's because we leave C states enabled, among other technologies that make it harder to overclock. But the end result is our performance at equivalent clockspeeds is better than everyone else. For example, my 108 almost 109 GFlop run at 5GHz vs kitfit's 5.1GHz run that netted him only 110GFlops. Where the response by others was 'wait, that seems low now that I've seen zoson's runs'. =P

In short, the only thing special about deachus's run is an obvious display of actual overclocking skill.
