Intel Core i7 processor HT & Windows 7 - Increase Performance

[ShiningDragon]

Do you want to raise the power of multithreaded applications on your i7 2600 / i7 870? Without overclocking? Without losing warranty? It's an easy task, at least under windows 7.

The background that seems to be that Windows 7 uses well for general applications only 6 threads (so at least for WinRAR), no matter how many real and logical cores a processor has. No, this isn't a tasksheduler problem. This just seems to be a suboptimal setting (ok, not many people have 4 core cpus with 4 virtual cores).

Q: What's needed to raise the power of my expensive cpu?
A: This is pretty simple. Save the file located in the appendix "corepark.reg" on your PC and then executes it. After doing this, there is a new entry in the Windows 7 power options:



Change the selected entry to the value "100%" to the so-called core parking off. Before this, however, make a note of the current setting for the event that you would like to undo the change.

Good luck!
