Hi,
I have a i7 870 on a intel DH55TC mobo. Since I cant change any voltages with this mobo, i have managed to OC to 3.41GHz with hyper threading off(24hrs prime 95 confirmed stable). Now when i turn HT on, since i cant increase the vcore, i need to turn down the clock to 3.2Ghz. I ran both on cinibench and HT on @ 3.2Ghz got a score of 5.48 while HT on @ 3.4Ghz got a score of 4.55. Is there any real advantage to having HT on at lower clock speeds or should I turn it off and get the higher clock speeds? I use my system for gaming and school work.
Thanks
