Question about HT and overclocking...

[Jeff7181]

For those of you with personal experience, does enabling HT reduce your maximum overclock? Since the CPU does more work with HT enabled it obviously gets hotter, but does it effect the stability of an overclock?

I believe it does affect the maximum OC but really, it is worth it.

To what extent? Like, only OCing to 3.0 Ghz instead of 3.5? Or just being able to OC to 3.4 instead of 3.5?

I believe more like 3.4-3.5.

in my experience HT has not limited my o/c...

my chip tops out at 3.5 ghz with or without HT
