Like most others have said, it won't do anything if you're not retarded to begin with. If you have hyperthreading on for gaming, you're doing it wrong. And quite frankly you should be embarrassed about it, considering the money you spend on the hardware.. at least educate yourself.

That being said, doing this certainly won't HURT anything.. unless you care about power consumption. But for most people it will be nothing but a placebo.

Amusing. Again you're making an assertion that is utterly wrong. Hyperthreading should have essentially zero impact on gaming while being quite useful for those who use their systems for applications that take advantage of it. There, now you're more educated.

 
Very good. Now try to recognize that the vast majority of the responses in this thread are "helped/didn't help in X game", and that I specifically mentioned gaming by name.
 
When you're done with that, see if you can put two and two together and recognize how asinine and irrelevant your response was.

Well I use Hyperthreading for Folding@Home, so turning it off is not an option for me.

Excuse me Celeras but your assertion is that HT has no impact on gaming ( We get it ) , so when hemi agrees with your point and even gives a little backup ... you insult the man  
 
Or mabey your just mad at everyone because you can't get your system stable with HT on
 
Anyhooooo ,  online gaming experiences have soooo many variables in them that consistent loads and/or conditions are impossible to replicate for any type of accurate results.  Run 3D Mark Vantage , Cinibench or LinX , with and then without HT.  It does have a purpose .... just because "YOU" don't need/like/understand it does not make you right my friend.
 
BTW : Calling people retarted and challenging peoples math skills may be a violation of the TOS , but most of all it will get you no where in life ... 2 and 2 together = 22 
 
Even a stupid Newfie like me knows that 

What about Battlefield 3 Multiplayer?
 
I thought that used Hyperthreading properly, doesn't it?
 
Should I stick to 4.8GHz with HT enabled or 4.9GHz with HT disabled? This is gaming wise of course.

So essentially no effect in gaming but useful for those who use their computers for more than gaming. Are you suggesting that folks should reboot and enable HT when they decide to use their computer for something else (the majority) or just leave it on? We anxiously await your learned opinion oh wise sage.

I could careless what other people do with their PC. My responses are aimed towards:
 
-The OP who specifically mentioned gaming performance while recommending the utility;
-The dozen posters in this thread who reference how the utility effected their game performance;
-And the remaining posters asking if this would effect gaming performance.
 
Your replies seem aimed towards me, for mentioning game performance, stating it doesn't effect games and trying to convince me of the merits of the utility outside gaming. Congratulations on continuing to be irrelevant to the conversation.

Actually the utility was for CORE PARKING, not HT. I think you've become a bit confused along the way. But I give up trying penetrate your reality distortion field. YOU WIN!

So ummmmmm Hyper Threading does or doesn't help in games?

OK..did 2 3DMark11 runs the other day got P12400 and P12500.  I used the program and found all 4 cores parked. Unparked the cores, rebooted and reran 3Dmark11. This time I got P12728. My physics score went from 5700 to 6000.  So it looks like it helped a little.

My original response was to somebody saying that the cores only park when Hyperthreading is enabled. Did you lightbulb yet, or should I further explain the connection?

So would this tweak give any advantage for a i5 2500K which does not have HT at all?

You know, being respectful won't hurt you. 

I found 3 parked cores, did the changes and my very old pc went from 30 FPS in RIFT to 39 FPS.   Oh my!

Celeras,
Ad hominem personal  attacks do not strengthen your argument. Rational debate ends when personal attacks start. Do you consider your posts in this thread as displaying a high level of maturity or the lack thereof?
 
With that said, I appreciate your comments here regarding hyperthreading. It's a shame you were incapable of making them without being needlessly nasty.

Easier method and more safe. Plus you can change it under the power settings.

change the attribute from 1 to 0

I had 4 cores parked!!!
just tried the registry mod (super simple)
now it shows them unparked, it didn't even have to restart
btw default % for me was 10% so I dunno how u get 4 out of that lol

It will never ask you for a reboot, but you MUST reboot for it to take effect. 

Nope. Takes effect right away when you set it to 100% and apply. My cores became unparked right away. But, you can reboot if it make you feel better.

Interesting, didn't know that, thanks! :)

its perceptibly a small increase

how do you know if your cores are "parked"?   if this is so, then what gain do you get from getting a big ol processor like the 980X or 3750K?

you know,,u posted this right after my reply,,this response irratated me a little,,but then after realizing the small mentality behind the post,angry at the world,i know it all and u dont..,defiantly not mature by any means,internet wanna be tough guy,,LOL,,i wont,,my p.c. experiance has taught me there is always something to learn..wheter its from nice,helpful people or retards..  

I showed 3 cores locked.  Not really sure how you could have 4 locked cores though, unless your has been sitting useless for hours, even then once you started using it... one core should wake up lol.
 
As for the Hyperthreaded threads, any way to have them not park?
 

Thanks for this. I had 3 cores locked. No more slackers!!! All working now :D

Not sure if this is because of the unparked cores that I now have but I'm actually idling at half the watts I was before.
 
3930k @4.8ghz idling at 24-30 watts as opposed to 55-60 watts before. I'm even idling at a few degrees cooler. @ about 28-30c instead of 32-34c

Registry tweak works great, thanks!

its microsoft... apparently saving power requires using MORE power...

Lol. so true.  Alex I also noticed the same eventhough I have a Hexa core. Like the person on the video said is true, why are you going to have cores parked knowing that you pay for a CPU to use all the cores.

Windows resource monitor doesn't show any of the CPUs are parked (i5 2500K). So it only refers to CPUs using hyperthreading?
