You don't have to do anything. As long as it's not too hot, your i5-8250U will automatically raise its clock speeds up to 3.4 GHz on this particular CPU model.
I'll give that a try too. I saw that my power settings were on Balanced...it was the only power setting that was an option so I added and switched to an option for high performance. I'll toy with a few setting changes in Dolphin based on the replies. I really appreciate it!
