SRCDS only uses a single core. You can transfer it to another core, but it will never used more then one core at a time because it wasn't programed to.

alt+ctrl+del -> open taskmanager. Look for the srcds process, right click on the process and select "Setting affinity"

hlds + srcds are singlethreaded (ie only 1 processor thread per server, or core if you dont have multi threaded cores)

How come I often see CPU usage going over one core in task manager? One srcds.exe instance would use 30% of a quad core processor, 25% would be one core, so what does the extra 5% run off of?
