CPU parking and BOS

[WILSDime]

Ive been reading up on this and found that atleast one of my pc`s had this problem and its a easy fix .

It closes some of your cores and can cause slow down on games and seen as BOS is a flight sim we need all the cpu power we can get!!

First open task manager and then select resource monitor and press cpu.

Down the right hand side of the screen should be all your cores and if one or more is parked it will say on the display screen, im not 100% sure but its windows way of saving energy.

There is a simple way of disabling this which this u tube vid will explain better than I can but you will need this....

This mod if for both pc and laptops.

PS this is not me in the vid but he explains it well.

It also only works for i series CPUs or post-2012 AMD CPUs.

 

I disabled core parking long ago, but I'm not entirely certain it was necessary as cores will park when the CPU isn't busy.

When you say i series do you mean i7 and i5 cpu's ?

My old 920 has the parked cores when I checked but my newer version i7 didn't and both pc's have win7 sp1 installed.

My idea was that if you set up your config to run on say cores 3 and 4 but one is parked via windows would it stay parked or would windows unpark the selected core and re park another?

Parking is only used for idle states or if no other data can be transferred. It applies to i3/i5/i7. You shouldn't be setting anything to run on cores 3 and 4, BoS uses all four cores - you don't want it to be limited to any cores.

Ok cool ive not played about with my BOS config but I did with my il2 1946 but again this was on my old 920 cpu setup.
