I don't think it applies to newer CPU's anymore, but in BF4 days and FX/i7 era it stopped Windows using all cores under lighter loads, only enabling 2/3/4/5/6 of 8 threads.

Disabling Parking keeps them active, even at idle (less power saving) (they still declock, but won't get turned off and reactivated every few milliseconds)

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

It typically isn't an issue if you are using Windows 10, as it "unparks" all the cores for you automatically. But if you want to be certain, I've been using a program since the days when it was actually an issue called Quick CPU. It provides many different options and tweaks at your disposal, but when it was initially developed it was mainly for observing whether or not you had any Parked cores (and providing you the ability to un-Park them). It is frequently updated, with more options added each update. If you simply want to use it to make sure you have no Parked cores, it's also good for that too:
