How to use Maximum CPU?

[Kokujou]

Yo !!
My Dolphin still isn't using 100% of my CPU its just around 15-20% ... the game isn't even running on 100%. i already disabled any limitations (Frame Limit) and i already setted up the dual core setting but... i have more than 2 cores? cant you use all of them?

i'll append the DxDiag TXT File :3 is there some setting i forgot? If not than i want to pray to the developement team that they support... awww what do i have... hexacore? dxdiag says 12 cores but i guess thats something else i guess its hexa... >.<

sorry for my bad english

No, you can only use 2 cores, that's why it doesn't use 100%

Yeah, having a hexa core cpu doesn't help when running Dolphin. The best is a high clocked quad core. More cores don't help at all. And if case of hyper threading, which is where your "missing" 6 cores come from, it can even harm.

If you want to optimize your cpu for Dolphin, then:
- Disable hyper threading. Either via BIOS/uefi, or by setting cpu affinity in the task manger for Dolphin, while Dolphin is running
- Overclock your cpu

if i remember it right i already disabled hyper threading and overclocking may harm my computer >.< i already asked my computer specialist and he said overclocking a computer makes it last shorter time than without... ^-^ (>.< really bad english)
cpu affinity is a good idea... so should i let it use just 2 cpus or what do you mean?

last question: is there any possibility that dolphin will implement at least quad core?

hey i just found something that can help... its not that i can use more cores but it seems you can use the 2 cores it's using better !!
in the settings -> advanced window you can override the CPU clock... i don't know what it means but now my game runs at high speed :3

Dolphin emulates the CPU and GPU core of the GC/Wii. Splitting these cores means that cores will have to wait for synchronization between cores, which will make Dolphin slower.

Done properly, overclocking will not harm your computer. Your 4690X was designed to be overclocked.

really? :o and... how exactly does this work if i want to do it "proper" ?

Google how to overclock on your motherboard

Okay that'd be a good answer but... it's google !! maybe 70% of the information provided by google are reliable. i don't want to destroy my breautiful computer !! >.<

Overclock.net is a pretty reputable site from what I hear.
