If the CPU supports HT, shouldn't there be a BIOS setting to enable/disable it? Otherwise, does that mean it can't be disabled? I can't find the BIOS setup screens for this system on the support site, so I have to assume the OP is correct that HT setting options aren't there.
We still don't know why the OP wants to disable HT, but it could be that some software app doesn't play nicely with HT...
I'm not fully up to speed on the I series of intel processors, but I believe the HT is implimented differently in this series then it was in the P4s and whatnot. I think the way they have it set up, you cannot disable it because it would be like shutting down half of your body.. The i7 would be useless as it is if you were able to shut it down.. from what i've read anyway..

There aren't any options in BIOS for HT.

Why?
Run BIOS setup (press F2 before Windows starts to load0 and look for the option to disable HT. Save the change and exit BIOS.

If BIOS setup doesn't have any hyperthreading options, then you probably can't disable it.
Are you sure your CPU even supports HT? And you didn't say why you want to disable it...

That CPU does support HT.
