    Hi everyone, I'm new here, but I've got a lenovo ideapad v460 with the i5 450m processor which is dual-core with HT, and it was going CRAZY with the core parking. I did the registry edit, and the parking has stopped. So this DOES work with dual-core HT machines.

    Kalim, I just wanted to say thank you very much for your post!
    I was trying to disable Core Parking for hours, and I've followed the 'usual' guidelines of disabling ValueMax from 64 to 0, and that method did not work.
    However, Your method worked perfectly, and now none of my cores are parked! Plus, now I have a power saving option for when I'm on a battery, which I set to the default core parking settings.
    I just had to register here just to say thank you Kalim :)

    Kalim, I'm having some issues.
    About 2 weeks ago I did it where you just go to the keys Occ5/ea06203..(etc) and set the attributes to .off i went in turned the settings accordingly so the cores were not parked.


    Recently i came back from Vacation and i booted up my laptop and then boom their parked again. I went back and took of the extension of .off. I read around and turned the value max to zero 0 and no such luck. Their staying parked, i tried both ways, switching the value to zero on Value Max, and then also Attribute.off and nothing is working.

    I need help, any idea's on what i can do?

    Cool, thanks!

    Great thread, worked for me, now I don't have any micro stuttering playing music, watching video or watching youtube and battery life is the same. Minimum power draw still goes down to 4.16W at idle in HW Monitor Pro but no cores are parked,

    Thanks, rep +1

    So its all about forcing CPU to work on maximum clock rate? Or smth else? Cause if i suggest 100% cpu speed in windows power settings it will also lock it on maximum clock rate, even without load.

    Hi, I managed to get my power options to show the processor state, but I can't change the values. Every time I apply any changes, it switches back to 0%. Any help?

    Hi guys,
    I have Asus G53JW and never changed default core-parking registry setting via regedit. The thing is that, yep i see none of single app, even 3D intensive games are too far away from being utilizing %100 CPU (I have i7 740QM, 1.73 GHZ) with all cores, i see %20-30 usage in 3D games, desptie that low usage, they're running smooth almost 60 FPS with Vsync. So i don't think disabling core-parking is actually required unless you're trying to get more score. For example, i get almost %99 usage with TrueCrypt WITHOUT disabling core-parking. So, disabling core-parking "only" helps for silly apps that are not actually multicore-aware.

    Am i missing something?
