Q6600 Orthos only uses 2 cores

Just installed a Q6600 and im using orthos to check its stable but its only using 2 cores. I ran two instances but it still only uses the same 2 cores. Am i missing something obvious?

Orthos only uses 2 of my cores aswell, I use OCCT which stresses the other 2 cores at the same time.

Use Prime95 for Quads.

Is there a drop down menu which allows you to set which cores you want to test!

Run two instances of it... simple as that, use task manager to specify processor affinity

Prime95 for the Quad: ftp://mersenne.org/gimps/p95v254.zip

Hi as already said you run 2 instances of Orthos or the Prime the current one uses all 4 or the OCCT I haven't even used that yet but some people swear by it.
