Windows 7 & Core Parking .... a *better* way to Turn It OFF ....
Firstly major props to new forum member sky60234 for the following method. Some of you will recall my previous regedit to turn-off Win 7 Core Parking here:- http://forum.cakewalk.com/fb.ashx?m=1852473 This is now superseded by a much better method. Thanks to sky60234 there is now an easier / non-destructive / fully reversible way to do this - ie: no deletions of .Reg keys needed - only an entry value adjustment. ________________________________________________________ In short, here is the better method from sky60234:- - Go to Regedit - 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 - the default 100% ie: all Cores are potentially park-able - Change the value from 64 to 0 so the " ValueMin " and " ValueMax " are both zero - 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 [ in my DAW it was only found twice ] - Do a full shutdown and power-off and cold-re-start ________________________________________________________ I have tested the above on a clean Windows 7 x64 / Clean 8.5.1 install and it works perfectly - all Cores are available at all times and none are ever parked - the result = even CPU loads at all times regardless of loads. As sky60234 noted, the advantage of the above is that nothing at all is being deleted from the Registry - all that is being done is that a value is being adjusted. Again, major thanks and props to sky60234 for this excellent fix. Tom
