I never tried this before until now someone said on a 14900K review on Amazon. If you turn off HT on Intel CPUs you get much lower temps. I ran Intel XTU and didn't get "ONE" Pop up for CPU thermal throttling. After looking around on Youtube I found a few games that actually do better with hyperthreading off mainly Crytek engine games from what it looks like. I know the newest Core series got rid of Hyperthreading altogether.
 
Ummm... Of course.

You're turning off extra work for the processor.
 
There's a thread on turning HT and e-cores off on Intel procs in games, and also a good video on the subject: https://hardforum.com/threads/more-...res-or-hyperthreading.2035701/post-1045961037 Link is to the post with the video. At any rate some games benefit from turning off HT, others get crushed by it. A few games ran really poorly with both HT and e-cores disabled. A few also ran best that way. The other three settings were mostly ok. Defaults and HT off/e-cores on were pretty close to each other. Defaults did a little better on average, but the difference was small so turning off HT as your usual everyday setting isn't crazy if you're having problems with temps. That may push more threads onto e-cores, but it seems to work ok with Raptor Lake.
