So we have a consensus on core parking. Not a problem.

Is there agreement on disabling TurboBoost?

I'm not sure either.

I use an H67 board so I have no means of over clocking so I'm basically running happily at stock speeds and there is therefore some benefit in performance to be had in having it enabled.

Whether that is the case if you are over clocking I am unable to test or ascertain.  So I'd suspect it would be dependant on your setup to some degree.

do not do it period.. its old and pointless now especially on a laptop
turn off the acpi battery...

Why do you say we shouldn't turn off the core parking on desktop workstations?
 

He says in the quote it's old and pointless as far as I can see.

I agree.

I agree.

Old or not its sill a huge difference in performance ON or OFF. I have it disabled! I don't use and you shouldn't use SpeedStep, C-State either. Full POWER no eco b-ulls-h-i-t- mode. No ECO on graphic card either! That is the default setting for any computer!

My two cents 

I've tested at this end, and the only benefit I got was more pops and clicks along with higher CPU temps and increased fan noise as a result with no discernable performance improvements at all.

What can I say?

I agree (dedicated desktop DAWs only).

I believe it's very important to make a distinction between laptops and desktops. Core parking on laptops is needed to help manage heat. I wouldn't mess with it (unless I didn't care about the life span/longevity of important components). But when talking about desktops (dedicated and properly cooled), then all bets are off. I'm a tweaker, and I tweaked the heck out of my DAW, right down to background processes. The benefits are undeniable and I would go so far as to wonder what happened in your case?

For maximum DAW performance:
We don't want the OS/hardware having the ability to "throttle down" speed/performance to save energy.
We don't want the PC "tied up" managing non-essential tasks.

Depending on circumstances, you may "get by" without any tweaks.
For absolute maximum performance (especially when running heavy loads at ultra-low latency settings), tweaks are necessary.

Freddie,
got news for you all that is OLD OLD OLD and not to be done now...

Sorry, read up, the thread was about core parking, the clue is in the title, that's what I'm referring to, I've tweaked for sure, but only where there is a benefit.  Disabling core parking isn't an area that provided any.

This ^^^^

I run 64 samples buffer all day long easily even with the biggest loads I ever get up to.  No glitches, no pops, no crashes and a clean error log and power to burn.

I'm not bothered what anyone else does but I love my setup as it is.

Freddie, Alegria please show me where I've got it all wrong?  I'm all ears.

Excuse me? I may have thrown in a general comment in my reply, but the context was about core parking.

Well then, the point is moot. And that was not my experience btw.

I gather you agree with this (as do I). Then, what is your definition of core parking???
