      I recommend using Process Lasso proper. It’s not hard to learn and much more powerful. CoreDirector looks like Process Lasso’s Efficiency mode/CPU set/CPU affinity rules repackaged into one on/off toggle for every listed app.

      You can do more interesting rules with Process Lasso like keeping non-interactive applications off of the highest-turbo P-cores or restricted to E-cores to improve idle power. My 60/60/60/60/57/57/57/57 13900K idles at 8-9W with MSI AB, Discord*, Steam, and other apps banished to E-cores and never allowed to turbo the P-cores.

      *Discord gets 57x P-cores 6 and 7 as a treat.

        Are there any easy to follow tutorials to use Process Lasso? Last time I used it, there was so much to it it was overwhelming.

        I am setting up Process Lasso now, would steam high speed downloads get nerfed being only on E cores?

        “as a treat” lmao

        mine gets 3-31.

        (before you read further always start with a full backup or at least a system restore point) I disabled hyperthreading on core 0 and using Microsoft’s Interrupt-Affinity Policy Tool I have set gpu and mouse usb port to Core 0 and 1.

        I’m a massive gaming nerd and was trying to “min/max” dpc / input latency.

        Do not use the Interrupt-Affinity Policy Tool to edit SSDs, it will break your os.
