AMD FX-6300 Parked Cores?

[thy_brandon]

Hello recently I've picked up a cheap AMD FX-6300 6 Core Processor, and I noticed in the Task Manager that about three of my cores are parked for some reason, and I would like to know how to un-park them also I noticed it says 3 Cores instead of 6 on the task manager but from what I've been reading 2 cores are basically in 1 core, which I think is normal for this processor but unsure, and is it normal for the cores to be parked for some reason or? as you can see on the CPU-Z it says 6 cores 6 threads, any information would be helpful thanks.

Also i'm running windows 10.

wow its at 1.4ghz make sure youa re in performance mode, I would disable the turbo as well and at least keep it at stock speeds

Try to load up your PC and then look in Task Manager.

There is a software for unparking cores. Although the chip will automatically unpark the cores when they are needed. But for light use, like video streaming and browsing, it only needs 2 cores. For light gaming, like csgo, also 2-3 cores. For video rendering, all 6.

controlpanel and then power options, might be a little harder to find on windows 10, and yes in the bios you can disable the turbo and fix a speed if desired, if you are gaming I would do this and fix it to say 4ghz , if not you might be better off leaving it

the cpu auto parks and unparks cores depnding if you need them or not, un parking them does improve performance know that from exprience
