Hyperthreading is any good for video editing?

[ImperialCavalry]

Hyperthreading reduces the rendering time or not? its increases CPU heat or decreases it? I mostly rendering 720p 30fps but long gaming content, like 25m-45m

thanks in advance

Hyperthreading will increase performance in any task which is accelerated by having more cores. Even though a hyperthreaded core isn't as good as two single cores as far as either multitasking or a threaded task, it's better than a single non-hyperthreaded core. My experience involves re-encoding blu-ray rips, and having an i7 definitely makes a very clear difference over an i5 (a similar chip, minus the hyperthreading feature).

Yes it reduces render times and yes it increases cpu heat. Your less utilized cores for the game are used in Hyperthreading for the rendering. I suggest you get a good aftermarket cooler to keep your CPU from throttling.

@SchizTech
thank you for detailed reply man, what about heat? I did some research on google , some people said HT causes a heat but not much

 

[ImperialCavalry]

thanks both of you, finally I'm getting a good fan tomorrow so I just wanted get some info about HT, I will reply back here with results (rendering,gaming) tomorrow

thanks

this fan any good for my i7 4790k (no overclock) COOLER MASTER HYPER TX3I EVO

Yeah, I haven't done a detailed look at temps between the two but I'd imagine a modest increase is likely. It probably isn't too huge since Intel rates the TDP of the i7 and i5 in the same range.

As to the cooler - http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/coolermaster-hyper-tx3-review,1.html

Not at the top of the pile but certainly much better than a stock cooler. Since there's no OC it should be fine.

Thanks! last question: I never touched to the BIOS CPU (AI Tweaker) settings, but I saw they are all in "Auto" setting, which means non-OC right? Because my motherboard is ASUS and a asus customer support agent told me a while
ago, "its always best to check motherboard settings, make sure they are in default settings"

my CPU is 4.0GHz

Core 0 4297.5 MHz x 43.0 99.9 MHz 34 °C
Core 1 4197.5 MHz x 42.0 99.9 MHz 36 °C
Core 2 4197.5 MHz x 42.0 99.9 MHz 32 °C
Core 3 4397.4 MHz x 44.0 99.9 MHz 32 °C

I think this is normal, yes? (I'm using High Performance power mode to prevent "GPU kernel driver stopped working" errors)

The default BIOS settings don't overclock a chip (or memory or anything else). Those temps are perfectly healthy; the limit on most chips is around 80-90C. With a stock cooler at full blast the chip gets to 70C, safe but with relatively little room to spare (or in case of dust in the heatsink, etc). I've noticed 'average-ish' third-party coolers like that keep temps no higher than the mid 50's at full load.

* - without any overclock, that is
