9900k keep HT on?

[Grim5]

Because HT has no effect on games at 8 cores - probably if you turn HT off on the 9900k you can overclock it to 5.2/5.3ghz, run cooler than if you had HT and your gaming performance will go up

Will I have to turn off ht?

For gaming, no need to turn it off. Besides, if you disable HT, you open exploits to Fallout. Another vulneraility.

We should have a thread where the rules are you can't look at your screen while typing , should be quite funny what we post.

Apart from the phone stutters, this statement isn't correct. Disabling HT doesn't open the CPU to additional exploits. However, just disabling HT doesn't fully protect, microcode is also required.

Suddenly your comment make complete sense after reading about Intel MDS.

One of the vulnerabilities is called Fallout and the latest Coffee lake CPU's that have HT disabled are the easiest to exploit.
