Just wondering, is this a fact or wet dreaming? Thx

It is a fact. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2479999/safe-unpark-cpu-cores.html

If you are on Windows 8 or 10 you effectively can do the same thing by going into the power management and setting the CPU to 100%.

With that said it normally doesn't make much a difference except in some very specific scenarios where say a game uses one core most of the time but then needs to use a second core every now and then so it will have to ramp up the parked core from its low voltage state.

It wont increase FPS but it may in those specific scenarios stop what appears to be stuttering.

Thx for the quick reply man.

Well im getting FPS drops in CS GO due to what seems a CPU bottleneck, namely the frames will drop from the average 250 to cc.140 when there is "a lot" players fighting in the same wide open room(tested with all 10 players and it drops to 130).

Wonder if it will help with that, will give i a try.

I would try this if you haven't already. Its just a backup of a file and remove the old one to let settings default back.

Hey there All!!!

So i dont know what the content of the video you linked there is showing BUT!!!
What i do know is that i run my system overclocked you will see that in the specs down here.
Altough the tempature here now is showing a very nice and cool 28c or 30c when running more or less idle.
This temparature dropped after unparking my core's with the software.
It dropped infact very much from around inbetween 50c to 60c down tho 30c.
The reason of this i really not sure but i speculate that this might be aswell because related to the fact that when having your core's parked,
it will use lesser treads or whatsoever but because of it it will run that single tread on the highest prefomance level causing it to heat up you core drasticly.... otherwise its hopefully not fail readout of the temp.. BUT I DOUBT THAT.
ANYHOW! How ever you look ad this keep in mind that your hardware is disigned to have unparked core's running them ad full capacity.
But the microsoft windows design of you core utilization is very bad managed.... ITS A WELL KNOW FACT THAT IT IS!!!
So the answer to you video i gues should be YES its indeed some improvement..
THANKS GOES OUT TO THE GUYS DESINING GREAT SOFTWARE!
