But Dolphin is not a high-end PC game. The two aren't even comparable. What Dolphin does (emulating virtual hardware, recompiling code to natively run on your CPU, processing foreign graphical commands into equivalent OpenGL or D3D calls) isn't done by any PC game I've ever heard of. Emulators and PC games tend to use hardware in two very different ways as well. Modern PC games generally emphasize the GPU as the greatest component to their performance. Dolphin relies heavily on the CPU for the bulk of its performance for many games, while the GPU is largely responsible for determining how high an Internal Resolution and how much AA can be used without creating a GPU bottleneck.
Anyway, I don't think anyone's suggested that you look at your temperatures while playing Dolphin. Run a program like CoreTemp and wait like 5 minutes after playing Dolphin, then post a screenshot of your temps. Even if you think that you don't have a cooling issue, always verify it.
