CorePin

Purpose: CorePin is a per-game CPU optimization utility for Windows games.
CPU controls: It controls CPU core placement, scheduling, process priority, power behavior, and background workloads per game.
Profiles: It detects processor topology and provides V-Cache, frequency, hybrid-core, cache-group, no-SMT, and manual CPU profiles.
Automatic application: Its Windows service watches for configured game processes, applies saved settings at launch, and restores temporary changes after exit.
Game integrations: The library can discover games from Steam, Xbox app/Microsoft Store, Epic Games Store, GOG Galaxy, EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Amazon Games App, and Meta PC VR.
VR support: CorePin supports supported VR companion placement and OpenXR launch behavior.
Performance profiling: It records gameplay and reports FPS, frame-time, CPU/GPU behavior, memory, storage, and available hardware telemetry.
Benchmarking: System Benchmark provides Quick, Full, and Demo modes using repeatable CPU and DirectX workloads.
Local operation: CorePin requires no account, cloud backend, inbound network connection, web server, remote-control API, or product-usage telemetry collection.
Security model: The local service can monitor process starts and apply affinity, priority, power-plan, and core-isolation behavior, but exposes no HTTP, TCP, UDP, named-pipe, or remote-management endpoint.
Network activity: The UI may make outbound HTTPS requests for release checks, game artwork, and provider metadata, while profile editing and service operation remain available offline.
Installation: The recommended setup installer installs the application and required .NET Desktop Runtime when needed, while the standalone ZIP requires the .NET 10 Desktop Runtime separately.
Limitations: CorePin does not guarantee performance improvements, and results depend on the game, hardware, drivers, cooling, launchers, and other software.
Support: It is a personal spare-time project with no guaranteed support response time, release schedule, compatibility updates, feature delivery, or bug-fix timeline.
