[QUOTE="Macemore, post: 191357, member: 6113"] This may not work for everyone, but here's what I do: [B]Download and run [URL='http://www.coderbag.com/Programming-C/Disable-CPU-Core-Parking-Utility']CPU Unparker[/URL][/B] - Windows disables cores that aren't used (usually odd numbered, like 1, 3, and 5 on 6 core cpus) to save power etc. Problem with this is it doesn't unpark the cores when under load. Run this, click "Unpark all" and you're good once it's done. [B]Reinstall windows (PRE MADE PCS ONLY - read bottom)[/B] - If you bought a dell, hp, or any of those pre-made computers, reinstall windows. Backup all your cp/files on a Flash stick (or any means of data storage) and reinstall windows. There's a 100% chance that there's software they downloaded onto your computer you don't need. -[COLOR=#ff0000][U]BEFORE YOU DO THIS:[/U][/COLOR] On another drive (USB what ever) download all your computer's drivers.
