Anyone with an i7 might want to try turning off hyper threading (if not already), it made games a stuttering mess for me.
Another bios setting that had a negative effect for me in some pc games and possibly dolphin was spread spectrum. 04-22-2014, 03:18 AM
If turning off spread spectrum helped it was either entirely a placebo effect or something is horribly wrong with your overclock.

(with no overclocking I might add.) Spread Spectrum reduces EMI but can effect system stability because it can cause clocks to fluctuate instead of keeping them locked. Of course, if your bios has a smart clock option it may be fine, but in my bios it's either on or off. 04-23-2014, 03:51 AM
Considering a slight (<1%) variation in base clock speed should have zero effect on gamespeed I have to doubt that it was anything more than a placebo. Also keep in mind that the GPU is the bottleneck in nearly every modern system for nearly every modern game. And GPUs have their own clock generator not effected by the motherboards base clock. It can indeed effect system stability but what you're talking about has nothing to do with that.

Wow, searching for a similar problem (especially on race start in mario kart, with severe hugs/hangs) i discover this post.
I follow the recomendations made by user xystus, and set the max settings on Dolphin (1920x1080, 16x, 8/32, texture filtering, 2.5x internal resolution, vsync off) i also applied sweetfx x64 and highest settings for emulator in nvidia control panel and now i get 60fps constant with ultra high quality on Mario Kart!!! The severe cuts on race start are gone in almost tracks, and even in Galaxy 2 i get 55/60 fps with my signature config! THANKS
