Is it safe to Unpark CPU cores?

[crysisman546]

I wanted to know if it was safe to unpark my Processors cores since i heard that it gives people a little more FPS in their games? Is this true?

My Specs are:

FX-8350 4.0GHz

Zotac GeForce GTX 970 4gb

Corsair Vengeance 8gb RAM

XFX 550w 80+ Bronze PSU

MSI 970A-G46

Western Digital 1TB HDD

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus

and a Samsung DVD/CD Writer

I do not overclock any of my components, nor do i want/need to. I do play games such as Battlefield 4 without any issues other than Siege of Shanghai crashing 2-3 minutes after the skyscraper comes down (Could have sworn they fixed that though). But all i want to know is if Core Unparking actually does give a little boost in performance as well?

Yes, it is safe. All that "unparking" does is disables Windows from using its own management to control when each core is made available for use. It will have no negative impact on your CPU since they are designed to use 4 cores simultaneously by design.

As for increase in performance. I have mine unparked, and I honestly cannot notice any difference.

I honestly didn't see a difference when I did it with my i7
