CPU unpark cores?

[aspri]

Hi,

I've Windows 8 and I play BF4 and other new games which are CPU intensive. I'm used to play with the cores unparked thanks to unpark utility (http://www.coderbag.com/Programming-C/Disable-CPU-Core-Parking-Utility).

HoweverI looked a bit around...and it seems that it doesn't really impact much since on Windows 8, all cores are unparked, still the utility software shows that 2 cores are parked..I don't know what to think.

Instead of using the utility, do it in the registry (youtube it).

Usually, windows is always right. To see, go in the task manager run a cpu stress test tool, and see if all cores show usage.

Ok, so monitoring cores while CPU stress testing showed me that all cores were involved. Does that mean that they're unparked and don't need any of the unparking process?

Those utilities are all a bunch of crap. As long as Windows isn't set to some sort of low power configuration it will automatically use all of the cores in the most effective fashion.
