By default Windows 7 uses Core parking with our i7 CPU's, This is a power savings feature and it actually decreases performance and isnt needed on Desktops but designed for Laptops.
For example: With a i7 2700K when cruising the net with Firefox/Safari etc. or compressing a file with WinRAR youll notice that only 4 threads are being used not 8. The core parking feature of Windows 7 is crippling our performance.
To get all CPU Threads working all the time we have to Disable Core parking in Windows 7, below is how we do this and unleash the true performance of our i7 CPU's
Step 1: Go into Task Manager/Resource Monitor and see if any cores are parked, If so then go to step 2.
Step 2: Run Utility. (this utility uses the "Official" way of disabling core parking, which is the powercfg command)

Now you have disabled Core Parking which in my opinion is what it should be like in the first place.
Enjoy the "True" Performance of your i7 CPU
