Could it maybe be that his pc is trying to save energy and isn't giving full performance?
The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.

There is clearly a problem with his system beyond his hardware simply being inadequate. Overclocking won't fix that.i suppose ur right... in latest revisions he should be getting at least 70-75% with those hard games at stock. also i doubt it.. it should be turboing up as soon as the emulation starts.

The most aggressive power saving features are disabled by default on desktops. When running a demanding application like dolphin the clock rate should not drop unless the cpu overheats. Overheating will also prevent it from using turboboost which might be happening to the OPs system.

I used to like the CoreTemp was the processor.
I keep the system always clean, but today the temperature was very high in Brazil. Normally not exceed 60 ° C. http://imageshack.us/a/img841/5016/rm5f.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img842/9140/851g.jpg 09-16-2013, 03:28 PM
Clock rates and temps look fine.

It may me irrelevant, but I found that using gameconfig files from 3.0 in 3.5 dolphin will slow down some if not all games, when I used the gameconfig files from 3.5 for dolphin 3.5 the speed issue went away.

You're right that is irrelevant.

That is incredibly weird that config files can affect speed.

That's not weird at all. They override the global settings and your settings have a huge impact on performance.
