disabling core parking on P170hm

Hi,
Does disabling core parking help on these laptops?
thanks

 

interesting.. might try this out

 

any benefits for doing that??

take a look, i tried it with my old M15x but that had the 1st gen i7.
But i think it works with the sandy bridge as well...

 

I just did this and everything feels a lot faster Especially starting programs seems to be faster than before.

 

i cant find the reg file " 0cc5b647-c1df-4637-891a-dec35c318583 "

 

Lol it "feels " faster. Anybody willing to do some stop watch testing to prove it? Only CPU bound apps then? Because things are pretty fast for me right now.

 

@dante: Ye have fun stopwatching random slow downs which are only a few ms.

My problem was that I sometimes started an app (snipping tool, a game,paint,... as I said.. random slow downs which only happened sometimes) that loaded quite fast but was able to load/start even faster. Did that fix a few hours ago and so far I didn't have any of those slow downs.

@Johnnyman: Did you search it without the space after the quotes? Did you check "keys" in the find window? I found the key 3 times.

 

Yeah, there is pretty much no speed gain from what I observed on my laptop.

 

I guess Patrck_744 is right.. just had one of those "slow downs/freezes" again :/

 

I have 6-cores so there might be a difference on a different processor.

 

I did notice some slight improvement for me when it comes to doing the first intensive task in a while. I noticed there's no tool to help with this, and mucking with the registry sucks. So I coded a program to help people who want a less power-user-way to achieve this. C# .NET, so you might need the latest .NET framework. Feel free to scan with with your favorite AV software, all this is is a simple UI and the code to find the registry keys and modify them

Enjoy

EDIT: I noticed the tool wasn't actually able to write to the registry without admin rights, so I updated it to request the rights.

 

Well.. without the fix there are 4 CPU's parked atm.. with the fix there was nothing parked. So nice idea what to use :S

 

im scared to try this :S

 

That's why I made the tool I linked to above. To make the task less scary.

 

I think there isn't much you could do wrong. I just wonder if the "parked CPU" still does some performance slow down on SP1. Or if the non-parked CPU's will cause more battery drain / reduce CPU lifetime.

 

Doesn't messing with power options disable core parking? Say switching to high performance mode or changing the processor state %... You can see if there's core parking by using search > resource monitor > cpu tab

 

Try it and then check your resource monitor. It will show the cores parked. I have unparked my cores on all my lappys for over a year now. After you unpark your cores, then go to the power options, and you should see a difference. Another thing I do to stop the stutter, I go into the device manager and uncheck all the "allow to sleep" under the power management in properties for anything that has it.

 

after i use the tool if i want to revert changes how i do that??thx!

 

Put the values back at 100 with the same tool.

 

is there a way to alter the turbo boost configuration using a method similar to this?
