Why are my cores parking & unparking?

[Pepsi_Man]

I have an AMD 8320 with 8 eight cores. The performance in Task Manager is showing them automatically parking and unpacking. Some of them will park, and then the unparked ones will become parked. Is this normal?

Yes AMD cores park to conserve engery and is completely normal. There are some hacks/fixes to prevent this from happening to help increase performance. just google it

- Go to Regedit

- Select Edit > Find... and find this key: " 0cc5b647-c1df-4637-891a-dec35c318583 "

- Within this key, there is a value called: " ValueMax " This value represents the % number of cores the system will park

- Change the value of " ValueMax" to 0 so that, it matches " ValueMin "

- You will have to find the key a few times and repeat the process for each time it is found - the number of instances will depend on the number of power profiles in your system. To do this go back up to Edit > Find Next. (I had 3 instances of this key in my registry it might be rare but it happen.)

- Do a full shutdown and power-off and cold-re-start.

If I were to sit both to 4, that means the PC would run 4 of them?
