I meant that you have your settings set to performance ie that the CPU is running 100% not 5-100% in the power settings and that if you have the software installed that manages the performance it is set to high performance.
Core parking is caused by the CPU parking certain cores when they are not in use to lower power consumption and heat it is a feature which for gamers or anyone who wants high performance is a pain in the rear and it kind of removes the whole 8 active threads mumbo jumbo because for instance 4 of the active threads of the 8 could be parked. I found that
my benchmarking results were affected by a good 1000 pts on the CPU and it seems to be fixed after I unparked the cores.
You can see if you have parked cores by going in Task Manager - Performance = Resource monitor and on the right hand side it will have your 8 threads, if any say underneith the graph core parked then it is in fact not in action. You can disable this with a simple registry fix:
1. Copy the following registry key entry between the brackets [ 0cc5b647-c1df-4637-891a-dec35c318583 ].
2. Select your start button.
3. In the search box, type ‘regedit’ and press enter.
4. Once your registry editor is open, select ‘Edit’ and ‘Find…’.
5. Paste the above registry key in the box and select ‘Find’.
6. Once it has located it, look for the keys on the right hand side labeled MinValue and MaxValue.
7. Double click on each value and make sure they are both set to ’0′.
8. Select ‘Edit’ and ‘Find Next…’.
9. Continue to replace MinValue and MaxValue for each entry until you have replaced them all.
10. Close the registry editor and shut down your computer.
11. Power the computer back up.
12. Core Parking should now be disabled.
- " ValueMax " Change the value from 64 to 0 ( " ValueMax " and " ValueMin " are both zero)
