Should I Disable HYPERTHREADING??????

[Grim reaper 999]

I've heard that intel found a bug in their 6th 7th gen CPUs. I have 7700k, Asus z270 F so what should i do?? everything works fine so far.

Don't disable it. Just update your BIOS if you are concerned but you don't have to, the issue is very rare and appearing during very certain conditions.

The original reporter over-hyped it. The conditions required to exhibit the problem are highly specific. Unless you know you are encountering it, don't worry about it. It has taken nearly 2 years since Skylake's launch for it to be found, if that is any indication of how rare it is.

That's for sure.  I haven't read any articles on it, but all the titles made it seem like every Skylake and Kaby Lake CPU was always glitching in the background.

It was a specific set of CPU instructions that trigger the bug. It is highly unlikely you are using the OCaml compiler software on linux.

Change to clean underwear and carry on.

Unless you have a really specific reason to want to, (sure there is a reason you'd want to but I can't think of one, Unless serious overclocking is one but I don't know if that's even one) don't bother, yes there's a bug, but it's being patched now and the bug only relates to a very specific string, thus the reason why it took so long to be both found and then started to be patched, if it was a major problem it would of been found almost immediately not 6 months and about 12 months later (7700K and 6700K respectively) so don't worry about it as it's nothing
