    The AN515-44 does not have a hidden and additional Advanced bios setting(s) only what the actual bios Advanced settings are like below, which is from the AN515-44s service guide:

    I guess I cant SMT OFF? Is it true?

    Anyone who assumes that SMT Disabled would result in Lower Temperatures is almost certainly assuming that SMT =/= HT.

    It doesn't.

    Hyper-Threading on Intel Processors works by combining 2 Threads into a Single Thread, to Maximise the Efficiency under 100% Utilisation.

    Keep in mind that while 100% Utilisation means All Stages are Populated on the CPU, it doesn't mean that the ALU is Fully Populated because most Threads don't actually use every single Operation the Pipeline can actually Perform Simultaneously.

    This means HT will result in Higher Temperatures because more Transistors are "In-Flight" at any given time in the same Area.

    SMT however doesn't work like this. It isn't Combining 2 Threads,. instead the Processor is made up of 4 "Full" ALU Pipeline and 2 "General" ALG Pipeline.

    "Hyper-Threads" are offloaded to the ALG ... but so too are General Workloads via the Thread Balancing., on top of this Precision Boost will actually scale back Clocks rather than increase Voltage. So what you'll see are slightly Lower Clocks, Higher Performance and Lower Temperatures while seeing similar Power Consumption.

    It's generally a good idea to always have SMT Enabled, as when it's leveraged you get Free Performance., when it isn't you get more Efficient Power Usage.

    You re right but I have fps drop problem on pubg, warzone 2. And some people said turning off smt is a good idea to prevent fps drops.

    So is there a way to prevent fps drops?

    SMT does not decrease fps as everyone thinks and its been falsely spread, as I've never seen any proof of Performance Degradation with SMT., as from Internal Tests it hasn't been an issue since April / May 2017, as neither Microsoft or AMD would actually admit that there was even an issue with SMT., instead it was simply resolved shortly after the Ryzen 5 Launch. As far as I could tell it was never an issue with the Windows 10 Scheduler, but rather Power Management / Optimization. That is the solution as your bios dosent have a off for SMT.
