I forgot to mention, I did also reset everything in the bios to default while still enforcing stock intel limits. Xmp was also disabled and the problem still persisted. Undervolting and OC can introduce issues like this but only IF its unstable. As I had mentioned I did validate stability so there's no issues there.

Why support a genocide and at the same time compromise on performance in your computer

[@Psychx_]

If core parking is an issue, you can also disable the c-state C6 in BIOS. If necessary also C3, but for most folks, the first tweak is already sufficient. When disabling C3+C6, the CPU can still save power via C1/C1E, which are very, very fast recover from. The core "unpark" software is essentially doing the same, but on the OS level. BIOS does it in hardware, which could theoretically work even better, because the feature doesn't even get advertised to the OS then. C3 is "L1/L2 cache flush, clocks off, voltage stays on", while C6 is "C3 + dumping all registers, PLL off, voltage off(!)". It's esentially shutting down the core almost fully and thus has a much higher transition latency upon wakeup.

[@techwandoUS]

I did a video on this with Tech Yes City also involved. Tech yes and I have spoken to each other behind the scenes. We believe that its an issue that essentially varies chip to chip. Almost like silicon lottery (same idea). EDIT: Hey thank you for including me in this! Yeah the original video was pretty crazy in the comments. I went ahead and counted every comment while the video was up, about users having the issue. It came to 35% of users saying they suffered the same issues across both windows 10 and 11, but you were right about the trolls. They really went for me man. Got a bit nutty. Glad to see your covering this.

[@DannyzReviews]

no worries man! This issue definitely has me puzzled because of how wildly different the experiences were between users. And with so many variables involved it makes narrowing it down that much harder. I remember there was a similar weird issue with first gen Ryzen which would cause segfaults and I ended up having to RMA my Ryzen 7 1800X. Some chips weren't effected but for the ones that were it would cause strange behaviour sort of like what some users are reporting with their intel chips. I stopped caring about the trolls a long time ago, by all means they can start their own channel and make their own videos if they really want to get the point across.

@@DannyzReviews I do actually remember that on first Gen Ryzen also. They pretty much solved most of those issues by Zen 2 which was nice. Intel has been having this same kind of issue across the entire hybrid architecture. I spent almost a half a year pulling my hair out.

This is more than likely a Windows issue. Even with the Brian Video an Intel Engineer went into the Comment and left a lengthy message about the subject saying they are aware of the issue and it is related to Windows OS. Not surprising. I honestly probably would switch to Linux if I would take the time to learn it. Windows is just of those necessary evils that come with PCs unfortunately.

[@PAIN-ot4cj]

great video like always Danny

[@arc00ta]

I had the stuttering issues so bad I ended up ditching my 13700KF. I went through all sorts of things before the Tech Yes videos came out and eventually got so annoyed I just sold it and moved to a 7800X3D. The best way I found to detect it was to use a high refresh rate display (in my case a 240hz 1440p) and just move the mouse in a consistent circle in the middle of the monitor, just on the desktop with nothing else open I could clearly see and feel the stutters and you would see gaps open up around the "circle" of mouse pointers whenever it stuttered. Latencymon didn't detect anything abnormal but it drove me crazy. I tried Windows 10 and 11, TPM on and off, all sorts of things including shutting down the E-cores, etc.

[@impuls60]

I used the app Tech yes city used to unpark cores with the lower settings under cpu powermanagement. BY GOD IT improved performance and got rid of hard stutters in Pubg. The stutters is 90% concurrent with visible core parking in Task manager. Oc ing the the ecores to 4.6Ghz and setting the preference to all cores instead of P er E helped balance the workload out. So in case of massive uptick in load, like shooting out of a car the games dont have those fps drops anymore. Gamefeel and hitreg was unaffected, so still usable even with the game running on ecores. Ring ran at 4.7Ghz. I'm now running just 8 ecores since the last 8 have a massive ram latency penalty but in some games like SC I would turn those on in bios too. That Core Parking has killed my gaming experience for 3 years, I'm so mad at Windows right now.

[@rameshenzo8249]

When you say you run only 8 E-Cores is it from 0-8? Or some odd number. Why does the other 8 E-Cores add latency?!Thanks 👍

[@hypapowah]

what is the app called?

[@impuls60]

@@rameshenzo8249 From the mlcc app it seems that 1-16 ecores are connected in a string like manor. So ecores at the start of the string have a short distance and nr 16 has the longest distance. This is just speculation but if you measures this the results shows LONGER delay the more cores you activate. Ecores comes in clusters of 4. So 4 clusters gives 4 x 4 gives 16 total ecores. I'm just a regular Joe testing what I can with available apps, so if you found other results pls post them here. Theres very little available info on this subject online.

[@user-xu2zp3oh7h]

WOW, this fixed it all. 12900k, 3090ti and 64gig 5200 34cas ram would struggle to access a seperate downloads drive in file manager. VS2022 would stutter and lag loading. Unparking the cores it is now so quick i have to slow down clicking. Max power usage on this system under full load could get to 820 watt, idle/normal office workload was less the 5 watt and now with all the cores active it is less than 15 watt with exceptional response. I can live with an increase of 10 watt. thank you

I was able to explain to the developers what debug mode for thermal set modes it is supposed to do until numbers level out , your chip might run hot on purpose to set parts layers and endurance check on the inside of the system

[@deathdrop]

Interesting video, seems people actually have an issue with the intel cpus i mean as far as i can tell by using my pc for over a year ive not had any latency issues that i personally can tell other than boot times being slower on 13th gen compared to 4th gen which is also interesting tho so i assume intel had to change quite a few things compared to 11th gen and below that might be causing latency issues?

[@factsseeker3542]

I upgraded from 9700 to 11700 to 12700k, and i found performance drop and stuttering when i first got the 12700k and i knew something off in the first few days of usage but couldnt tell whats going wrong especially when the processor scoring on benchmarks identical to everybody else, and compred to my former builds the pc felt slower and stuttery mess even when only web browsing, gaming even worse, somehow i opened task manager and found that all my p cores were parked on light tasks and i was limited to 4 E cores then searched and tried multiple ways to disable core parking, the first one by registry which failed, the second was the program you mentioned which also failed dont know why didnt work back then, probably you used newer version, and i ended up using "park control" which still get updates monthly, also newer versions give you more control for how windows schedule tasks between e cores and p cores, i also would like to add that core parking issue is metigated on windows 11, but even on windows 11 id still install park control for intel processors with e cores.

[@ryzonixgaming]

[@pedrovm3]

[@vottka1l]

I checked LatencyMon on my 13900KF and the latency values were pretty low. The most latency (about 650 us = 0.65 ms) had the stupid anti-malware executable from windows defender, but it could be fixed by turning off real-time antivirus protection. The "problem" was that I couldn't unpark P-cores no matter what. "Core parking index" was already at 100% by default, but the "CPU unpark" App shows 16 parked threads and 16 unparked (I have 32 threads enabled: 8 P-cores + hyper-threading and 16 E-cores). "Unpark all" button or changing system power plan are doing nothing. I also changed the registry key so that I have this parking option changeable in standard windows power plan settings, and it was also 100% by default. Maybe it's some power saving settings in BIOS

[@astreakaito5625]

But yeah this stuff, OS scheduling issues in particular is also why I went for a 7800X3D and always debloat windows and the graphic drivers, and tweak the windows power plan manually for less pinging of the cpu. Your goal is to make sure the only high isr and dpc execution times only comes from actually critical microsoft windows drivers. No parking issues on Zen 4 :) but it's not an excuse not to optimize your system.

[@mylittlepwny3447]

I just disabled E cores and set P cores to a static frequency. Havent once had issues with stuttering or lagging with any 12-14th gen CPUs. Ive played with most every cpu in the lineup.

[@orlandoluckey5978]

how do you disable e cores? in bios? or did you use an app?

[@tomtomkowski7653]

I would say this is OS related issue and as you said there are too many features running on the CPU and the OS side that are trying to do the same thing. Unpark cores should solve the issue but the problem is that idle power usage will go up. Would be nice if there would be an easy way to just disable all these features on the OS side that are already implemented in newer CPUs to not double them. Great video!

[@user-xu2zp3oh7h]

unparking the cores my normal watts usage went up from 5 to 15, yay intel. seriously 15 watts on a 12900k system which can draw 820watt full load, lets not worry about idle power usage.

[@naughtysyntax]

Thank you, unparked worked for me.

[@Samichou3]

I just got a 14900KF and a 4090 and am having issues in multiple games. Some game crashes at the same place, some other games wouldn't even start. Some games told me I didn't have available memory. I fixed that by changing the mode on my motherboard, which turned off a bunch of cores. Still crashes but the memory issue is gone. I've read multiple places that they advise me to downclock my CPU, which seems like a weird fix. I left AMD because I was tired of driver timeouts, driver crashes and other issues. Seems like it was a bad calculation since intel is the one with issues now.

[@D3nsity_]

The latency rabbit hole is deep but unparked cores does work well. To go further you need additional tools from microsoft. Interupt affinity policy tool + device manager allows you to find the hardware address + choose the core it interupts. This allows you to manually move the interupts from the first core to any core you want. This can be tricky because you can also make the interupts worse by manually configuring them wrong. Microsoft also has documentation on how to set up a device for real time performance. TBH not a lot of this effects gaming, it helps, but the rest of the computer experience is maxed out when nothing has latency.

[@alpenfoxvideo7255]

i think those are motherboards issues, I got a "creator motherboard", plugged my mouse in the USB2.0 port and never had a single dropout. 13700K. Ran latency Mon and my bars are very tiny, except in one test the Nvidia driver went up to 1100

[@justindressler5992]

This issue has been reported since 11th I think the big little architectures causes havoc on Windows scheduler. I have a 13900k and have noticed it. I'm not convinced it is entirely Windows because the problem is probably caused by insurmountable technical issues of the big little and boost architecture of the Intel processor. If you don't have stable clocks and cooling it can be way worse. This is why alot if users disable half the cores on Intel processors by turning off E cores. Apparently the 10th gen had the lowest latency and no spikes.

be careful about constantly unparking your CPU, it shouldn't have to be always 100% at the ready, depending on how that app does it, it could vastly increase power consumption and heat.

Not sure how this would effect games, I do have a couple of games that are *SUPER* CPU intensive/bound, and I have a feeling this might help, particularly I play DCS, Digital Combat Simulator, and I do so in VR, and that game will bring even top notch CPUs to their knees, at least until the devs get their head out of their ass and update the damn game with Vulkan...

If I would go for any upgrade of cpu, that would be just either 12400f or R5 7500f. But its also rumored that Intel should come with new chips even with no hyperthreading with improved gaming performance. I am neither much into Intel rectangular cpu socket nor that AMD one with some components on chip not covered by heat spreader. But maybe these issues spoken here in vid are kind less common, just not much usual. I did myself most of my PC builds DIY and for mainly or almost solely PC gaming there were no major issues.. maybe even thanks to using budget cpus and no OC memory. But I have to accept if there are some issues with Windows then brings alot of headache. 👉 Just to mention 2 apps which I found pretty usefull for me: Winaero Tweaker (did for cutting boot times) and Clonezilla (which is maybe obsolete) - for really lightning fast OS and whole drive backup and restore (50GB large OS + few apps took just 8min to clone between 2 nvme 3.0 SSDs).

I have ordered a more up to date motherboard and will see how it affects my performance, which is oddly enough different (at the moment) every day. I got up this morning and my system was sitting at the bios screen..... TBH I never had problems with the 13700KF I had before.

[@marcelovidal4023]

For extreme performance put the windows on power (high performance) when it is on balanced have High latency

[@halbouma6720]

Thanks for the video, it was informative. However, your "test" to see how unparking the cores impacted gaming wasn't the correct one to run. When you run games at 1080p on a 4090, you're going to max out all the cores the game utilizes so they're almost always going to be in the unparked state anyway. Therefore, you shouldn't expect to see any changes. Where'd you expect to see improvements is when games aren't maxing out the CPU (or have occasional threads ran like background loading). You needed to do the opposite type of test - run games when they're not CPU bound (such as 4K) or have areas where additional threads are created (yes, I know that part is hard to test). Then you can observe if keeping the cores unparked and ready leads to improvements - most notably in the 1% lows. The 1% lows you did see improvement in was likely because those games had occasional threads fire off that now didn't have to wait for a core to unpark so it could start running.

Ya that's a driver windows peoblem..I have a 13700k all p core 5.7 and 7900xtx, plus 38gb 6400 mem, and I never have issues with lag or latency, unless I'm editing 4-6k video with effects..

[@BreakingDimes]

for me the fix was unistalling intels arc drivers for the igpu.

[@stephenxs8354]

Disable Sysmain/Superfetch service to improve latency.

[@thefilmdirector1]

Its a windows issue and the only way to solve it for good once it starts happening is a fresh install. Latency mon will point at your gpu driver regardless of vendor, but the core issue and solution is always the same. Fresh windows. Things like this are why only windows is on the C drive. Everything else including the downloads, pictures, documents etc folders is on separate drives. As well as games and program installs that dont require the C drive. This also isnt an Intel, Nvidia, or AMD issue, the only one to blame is Microsoft.

[@Komentujebomoge32]

Every 'windows' install is different, and random stuff just repairs, but others just breaks.

[@killerrf]

Video comparing 13900k stock with 7200 tuned Vs 14900k stock with 8000 tuned How much of a gain is really made between both systems.

[@maxwell6533]

Had the same issue.

[@abaj006]

I get the same mouse and file Explorer lags on my 13th gen laptop.

[@dr.daigoroitto991]

I also need a solution, cpuunpark doesnt help

[@Stock--Rosso]

If you don't see or feel latency, then don't look for it, you'll drive yourself mad😂

[@DannyzReviews]

I will admit, curiousity has gotten the better of me multiple times, and once I've encountered it, then I can't stop thinking about it 😅

[@CaptainScorpio24]

​@@DannyzReviews damn bro ... now im looking for it in my i7 12700 non k , 32gbDDR4 vengeance and z690 tuf combo setup😅😅

[@Pillokun]

Not the same issue or rather cause that those two KZbinrs talked about. Techyescity ie Bryan said it was because it was a chiplet like issue. But lga1700 are monolithic... he was making a hen out of feathers...

[@JayzBeerz]

Nice ❤

[@vartulo8837]

⚠ why latencymon is dogshit ⚠ 1) there is no option for a timeout/delay before recording starts for you to tab in to game which already makes results invalid 2) the devs @ resplendence admitted they don't know why it doesn't pick up isrs (i doubt it picks up dpcs properly either) 3) no detailed stats for individual drivers 4) the KM driver that comes with latencymon (rspLLL64.sys) generates a crap ton of dpcs alone (invalid results) 5) the "average measured" values in the main page is useless/invalid due to reason 4, (how is average calculated anyway?) there is absolutely no reason not to use xperf for debugging driver latencies

[@born_to_play]

Undervolting a 13/14 gen CPU produces instability, just reverse it to solve the problem, it is better to limit the PL1/PL2 TDP and CCL to intel recommended values.

[@atrothe]

My 14900k is suffering from thousands of hard page faults causing audio dropouts. I need this system for multitrack audio recordings. i am very sorry i bought this horrible intel dog.

[@nicane-9966]

i have a 12400 and defiinitelly wont upgrade to anything from intel for sure... most likely will go for AM5 eventually, if zen 6 works on it wich i dont know.

[@voltex9885]

There is a rool ive bought for 20$ called tox tweaks that clearly fixed all latency ..i was curious and measured befor and after and i went from avg 156.75us latency to insane avg 1.32 idk how does that work but nothink looks overclocked and i avrage 15%ish more fps to .. Also aim feels unfairly responsive and i can hot shots so effortlessly .. I guess best spent 20$ so far 🤓

[@salamdrik]

BCLK overclock helps to

[@EinSwitzer]

After burn in finishes clean the chip and repaste enjoy the chip will vapor and chemically contaminate the thermal compounds

[@dr.daigoroitto991]

again, unparkcpu didnt help me (rtx 4090, I9 13900K)

[@dr.daigoroitto991]

pls I need help.

[@NBWDOUGHBOY]

Stutters are the worst.

[@impuls60]

Much worse than low but usable FPS.

[@maxim4104]

I have a 13900k and still use my old PC with 9900k. No matter which games I play, they all work perfectly on my old 9900k. I can't say that about the 13900k. In short 13900k: far too high power consumption for far too little performance. brings a costum water cooling to boil. You spend a lot of time in the bios.... And then there's the topic of P-E cores... ohh, that's right APO "Intel's Application Optimization" will take care of that. Unfortunately it's only for the 14th generation ha, ha, bad luck and only a few games benefit of that. Thanks Intel...🤡

[@k66iz39]

You know heating is a issue when bro has a fan oh his ram😭

[@DanielPetre]

No problem for me either with a 12700k watercooled on a msi edge z690.. ran dpc latency monitor and everything is fine.

[@impuls60]

You have so few cores that windows never uses Core parking in games. Gaming on stock 3.6Ghz ecores is hopeless. On a 14900k you 16 ecores and windows parks them all the time in Pubg. Causes lagg when game tries to use them and have to wait the unpark time. Ocing the ecores from the lame stock 4.3Ghz to 4.6-5Ghz with no parking this blows 12th gen out of the water suddenly. I've had both and wasnt really impressed by the 14900k until I got the games to use the ecores with parking off. Parking is 10x more noticable than oc'ing to put things in perspective.

[@lions7staso]

Same here with 12900K + Z690 TORPEDO and 2x16GB 6666 memory.

[@bios9678]

Ran latency mon for 1 hour on windows 10… all tweaked timer res sleep measure is 1.01ms. 50US spikes max. 0.41 avg driver latency 1.12 avg process latency. Idle is enabled btw. Same CPU as you just with E-waste off and ht off

[@saricubra2867]

I also own an 12700K but air cooled and MSI Z690 Pro A, 20 microseconds of latency.

[@bodasactra]

Intel did move the I/O HUB from the CPU to the board. That has to have an impact on latency.

[@Cleatus46]

Guaranteed fix! If your system is seemingly running ok, DO NOT run Latency Monitor as the results will dramatically increase stress levels and needlessly break your heart. Let sleeping dogs lie! ☺

[@Quaked4639]

It’s not related to your chipset, it’s related to Windows itself. As many of y’all are likely aware, windows is bloated. the difference you can achieve simply by Debloating windows shows that it’s not hardware related

[@del8boy]

Boy can you talk!

[@def-po8tu]

What do you mean parked cores? Does it mean they are not active in the current tasks?

[@lloydfitchen3583]

BIOS Update .

[@alaouiadnane]

Take a breath from time to time my friend !!

[@Komentujebomoge32]

Not an aprli fool. 😵‍💫

[@Mason_bluegrass]

I have the 14700k and dont have issue at all im using ddr5 5600mhz cl36 . Windows will never be stable with memory over 7000mhz no matter witch cpu you have . If you guys realy want to run fast memory why just go amd platform insted of crying lmao

[@KingJeffKiller]

Amd zen has much worse latency then any intel cpu

[@nguyenluan3890]

bro live under a rock . So tell me why most of fps player use amd if it has worse latency ?

[@nguyenluan3890]

and you can get a simple key search with amd cpu vs intel cpu latency to see

[@christopherjames9843]

Just install Linux. Problem solved. Windows is a cesspool.

[@bios9678]

[@Dorekus]

So basically get a working pc.

[@luqman191]

Fu k intel.. Got laptop with Intel 13th gen stutter when playback audio using sound interface because high dpc latency..
