i5 4690k HyperThreading?

[marcoandrade]

Hi i recently got my i5 4690k and i went into the bios and it gave me an option to enable hyperthreading.. is this possible? I have a gigabyte z97p-d3 with bios F6.

No HT w/ i5-4690k. 4 cores/4threads.

Strange.

1. Could be a motherboard bug. Fixable by BIOS update most likely.
2. Your running a 4790K.

Try enabling it and see if the resource monitor shows 8 cores.

Gigabyte has made boards before that have enabled disabled features. I have a GA-MA790XT-UD4P (I'm pretty sure that is the model) and an AMD 720BE Phenom II X3 that the motherboard successfully made into a 4 core processor. So re-enabling disabled features is sometimes possible.

That said, if it were possible for your circumstance, somebody else likely would have discovered it long ago, since your processor/motherboard combo has been around a while.

The option to enable hyperthreading in the bios would not be missing no matter which chip was placed into the motherboard. This is a feature of the bios regardless of the processor.
