Aurora R7, turn off Hyper-Threading in BIOS?

Question

Have looked everywhere in the R7 BIOS, but I cannot find any option to turn off hyperthreading. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or does this option not exist? Thanks

Mind if I ask why you are trying to?

Not sure if you can; Alienware's UEFI implementation is severely limited.  Which is a shame... like putting a restrictor plate on a Ferrari.

Thanks guys. Reason to turn it off is because I use my PC for flight simulation. Prepar3d is not multi core aware and people say performance is far better with it off
