Is disabling core parking 100% safe?

[srJeffers]

Hello, this is my first time posting on this site so please excuse me if I'm in the wrong place.

Recently, I disabled core parking for my CPU in order to fix a micro stuttering in battlefield 4. Battlefield 4 is the only game that i need do disable it for as all of my other games work fine with or without it. From what i have read on the internet, it is safe to disable core parking however, I still feel nervous doing it. Anyway, here are a few questions that I would appreciate help with:

1. Can disabling core parking cause overheating?
2. Will keeping core parking disabled shorten the lifespan of my CPU?
3. Is it worth keeping core parking off since it is necessary for only one game?
4. What is the point of core parking if it has no benefits?

my specs are:
Windows 7
Z77A-G41 motherboard
Intel i7 3770k CPU
Radeon 7770 GPU
8gb of RAM

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

as far as i know, it's safe, you will get better stability in games and benchs.

i take this info for you here: http://www.coderbag.com/programming-c/disable-cpu-core-parking-utility

short explain:
If you are an owner of a new multicore Intel CPU for example Intel core I7 and Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 OS, you already might notice that some of the cores in your resource monitor are marked as parked. This is a new feature of windows 7/2008 operating system that is made to balance energy consumption by your CPU. So let’s say if you are performing some tasks that do not consume a lot of CPU power, all the cores that are parked will remain in that state. However, if you are running something that requires a lot of CPU power, all the cores, which were previously parked, will be placed in the active state (unparked) to perform the task. And after it’s done, they will be parked again.

All in all, this is a nice feature to save the energy. But if you decide to keep all of your cores active at all times, there is no way to disable CPU parking from the user interface or by running command prompt.

While searching the internet, I could not find any utility that will allow you to enable and disable the CPU parking without having to go and modify the registry manually. So I decided to write one.

This utility will allow you to easily enable or disable core parking for your CPU. The first thing that you should do is to go to a resource manager to check if you have parked cores. The reason of doing so is that core parking is not enabled for all the multicore CPU’s. For example, if you have Intel Q9550 Quad Core CPU you may not see any parked cores at all.

I don't know enough to say for sure, but I have been disabling core parking on the last 3 gaming systems I've built, and haven't had any troubles.

There really is no need to for third party software or Registry edits. The easiest and best way to disable core parking is in BIOS, simply disable C6 state.
