Hey everyone! I've been reading some reviews about the AMD R9 9900X CPU and keep coming across mentions of core parking. I stumbled upon a Gamers Nexus review from about a year ago that talked about it, but I'm wondering if it's still relevant after all the Windows updates we've had since then. Do I still need to worry about enabling core parking for this CPU? Thanks for your input!

From what I know, core parking isn't a big deal for non-X3D CPUs like the 9000-series, so you should be fine. Just a heads up though, if you got the 9900X mainly for gaming, you might want to reconsider that choice.

ProductivityPro99: No worries, I'm strictly using it for productivity! I think core parking is more of a gaming issue, right? But Gamers Nexus mentioned that core parking could affect the 9900X and 9950X too.
