Asus Z690 Strix D4, 12900k disbale core parking

isyyy
Level 7
Hello all,

I have a problem with my Asus Z690 Strix D4.
I use a 12900k and windows 10.

I have installed the latest bios 0707.
In Winsows 10 I unfortunately have the problem that i cant disable "Cora Parking".
I can not deactivate it.

In the bios I have turned off all power saving options.

But unfortunately in Winwos the cores are still parked.
I have also tried to use the porgram "ParkControle".

Here you can see how all P-Cores are parked.

If this would be only in idle so I would have no problem, but also in games like
Battlefield 2042 cores are parked which leads to performance drops.

Does anyone have the same problem?

EDIT: When i disable the E-Cores Core parking is disabled, what is this behavior? I am confused....

(In taskmanager the cores are parked too.)

I have the same issue also and just posted about this and then found this, I don't mind E Cores going to sleep not my P Cores This is stupid behaviour and I have no idea why it is doing it like this, Maybe an Asus motherboard issue or bios issue, I don't know if other motherboard vendors are having this same issue.

It is making sense now why as I monitor the CPU usage in games it's so erratic it's unbelievable the usage is spiking all over the place and that would make sense because cores are off then on then off then on wtf.

Disable C-states in BIOS CPU Features, do you still have the same problem?

Hi Falkentyne,

I tried this yesterday and according to Core Temp I didn't see any cores drop to 0c me thinking this worked however according to windows task manager it was still saying cores are parked.

The other couple of weird things with disabling C States is that the P Cores would not drop under 1.2 ghz whereas with C States the clocks drop much further and also the voltage was higher too at a 0.737-0.9 v when idling.

Disabling C-State in windows dosent sho anything.
The cores are still parked.

There is a tool "Park control" and when you disable core parking, it cant disable it at all.

On windows 11 the tool workls like it is suposed to work. You ncan enable and disable core parking but on windows 10
it is just ignored.

Pls fix this. I dont whant to use windows 11. This is cleare a bug somehow.
