Hyper Threading stutter

[humbug]

I'm getting stuttering in games with a Bloomfield i7, some a lot, BF3 for example is an unplayable mess unless i turn HT off. but even then its still not perfect.

Is this still the same with Ivy Bridge?

 

[humbug]

Turning HT off fixed it ^^^ 90% anyway....

it shouldn't stutter at all

is it oc or stock? and what speed ram are you running?

Stock (2.8Ghz) its a warm CPU on stock cooling for now.
Set 1333Mhz RAM, default is 1066, capable of 1600 but cannot get it to boot at that.

Performance is no better than my trusty old Phenom II x6 which also loved to be played with and adjusted, nor was there ever any problem doing that.... unlike this.

Me no like it

A real poke in the eye, pun intended

ram speed wont help,1600mhz+ helps a lot on x58 plus stock cpu speed,even a mild 3.6ghz oc would help more

idk what dram voltage your memory is rated at but set it to rated voltage either 1.5v or 1.65v and set the qpi/vtt or dram/vtt (cpu imc)to 1.315v then it should boot

I played countless hours on crysis with my i7 920 and no stuttering at all,and that's a multithreaded game aswell

Thanks, i will have another go with it tomorrow, its a bit late in the morning now

HT stuttering with i7's was fixed a hell of a long time ago on bf3.

BF3 runs smooth on my 920 with HT on, as others have already pointed out they fixed that quite a while ago. There's probably something else causing it that you haven't found yet.

A dodgy RAM module, i spent a lot of time this morning running Memtest as it failed first time round at 44%, identified the faulty module, removed it and turned HT back on, runs fine now

 

[humbug]

well atleast you found the cause

are you happy with the i7 now? I loved mine

Its alright, thank you

Atta boy.

I wonder if this is the same problem this fella here is facing.
