    Hi NBR.

    I read somewhere that I can disable HyperThreading by parking the unwanted CPU threads.

    But all I found on the internet is how to disable or enable Hyperthreading. I can't find a way to control it.

    It's parking the unused CPU cores as you see. Is there a way to park a cpu thread permanently ?

    Thanks in advance :)

    EDIT : I want to do this to decrease heat output. I don't have an option to disable Hyper-Threading in my BIOS.
