You can use /affinity <hexvalue> (at least on windows os)
example: only on CPU0 would be 0000 0001 = 1 (/affinity 1)
only on CPU3 would be 0000 0100 = 4 (/affinity 4)
0 and 3 would be 5 ... etc pp
I use those settings using batch files and they work just fine.

since i tried valve's method of adding thread 3 and 1 that didn't seem to
work, i think it actually made it worst lol.
mike, since i run 8 core servers as well, I figure I would try your method
out, since you said you had some success with it. how do you set permanent
CPU affinity by commandline.. do you just add something like /CPU1 or
/CPU2
to the end of the commandline? thanks

You would be right but for me it did fix the high CPU spike I was seeing.
I
have an 8 core system and did let windows assign the affinity. everything
was nice and level as for CPU usage prior the the update. After the
update
just one single instance or srcds would spike to as much as 85% (of all 8
cores) after assigning srcds just 2 cores (with 2 servers per core) I
never
noticed the cpu usage go above 10%, 15% or 18% with no more network time
out's. It possible the windows version of srcds has some type of issue
with
multithreading maybe it's something that only shows up with you have 8 or
more cores idk....

Yes Windows here, assigning cores wont solve high cpu load it will just
limit it :(
