    Any of you tried unparking your CPU cores? I used a software to unpark those cores but I wonder if there are any methods that unpark cores without using softwares.

    Unless you want your CPU clocks to be Stock don't disable C1E. On desktop CPU you can disable it.

    That's a gimmick. The OS will instantly unpark any core when it needs it, why would you want all your cores unparked when you don't need them?

    I love power saving when I'm not using the PC at all. When I use the PC, i prefer highest performance. Electricity very expensive here.

    I have no need for hybrid shutdown or any other power savings. We are soon in 2018 and ssd's is the golden standard.

    I don't use that, never. I meant I take a nap in the afternoon that is the time the PC will be shut down.
