    im thinking seeing as the i7 uses two pipes per CPU you might need to run 4 copies of orthos then set the affinity for each in task manager (orthos is only a dual core thread app)

    prime95 uses all 8 threads, but like Biscuit says, if the program doesn't utilise the full amount of power then just run multiple instances - i had to do this for intel burn test as it only used 4 threads.
