Run several instances of it. Start the program up 4/2 times (forgot how many cores it can use). Windows Task Manager will automatically set the instances run on different cores, and even i it (for some reason) doesn't, you can set it manually.

Yea, but each core OCs slightly differently - while one core may be a good OCer another core may hold it back, and it could be that with current speeds and voltages the OC may fail because of one core.
