Forgaming I don't think it'll matter either way. MCE on will probably be a few percent faster though. Technically if you wanted to change bios settings to make it as fast as possible in gaming (and only gaming), disabling hyper-threading will give you ~1-3% in some games and disabling the ecores will give you ~2-4% in some games. Afew days later I noticed that the Turbo Boost Short Power Max (At Boot) was now showing 56.250 W. The actual default enabled setting plus the setting saved under "default" profile was still 45.000 W. The other difference was that I could now edit & save changes to Turbo Boost Max Power and TB Short Power Max. Thei5-7400 is only a 4 core 4 thread CPU. The 11400F is a 6 core 12 thread CPU. Both CPUs have a 65W TDP rating. With more cores and 3 times as many threads, the 11400F will need to run slower so it does not exceed the 65W TDP limit. This is why the ability to increase the turbo power limits is so important. Id personally avoid disabling turbo boost instead repasting it, I've 5900HX that hitting 90ish or even sometimes 100 on default thermal paste, and try using software to limit the temperature but it didn't give good gaming experience especially on cpu demanding titles, repasted it with non cheap better thermal compound, gelid extreme in my case, .

should i disable turbo boost for gaming
