Slowdown after time?

[Sadrian]

Hey!

So i have this strange problem.
I am playing Zelda SS on this rig:

ArRock z77 pro 3
3570K @3,4 GHz
4GB Ram
GTX 570
Win 8 Pro x64

without AA, LLE, IR 2,5x
dolphin 3.0 (because of d3d9 compatibility)

Heres the problem:

Everything runs and looks great, in fullspeed.
After like 30 or 45 minutes the game suddenly starts to freeze for like half a second all the time, its like
it would run with 15 fps. heres the thing: the internal benchmark shows constant 30 - 32 fps ALL THE TIME.
first thing i was thinking of was too much heat. so i cheked the temps and duh it was about 50°C at fullspeed.
The GPU is about 65 - 70°C hot, which is ok.

Any suggestions?

Use a newer Dolphin version. 3.5 and after

looks like this was the solution.
But what was the problem?
Its not like i was the only person using dolphin 3.0 for SS

It's obvious that 3.0 had some sort of issue that newer revisions don't have. That's the logical explanation if all you did was switch Dolphin revisions.

Thats true. But i didnt mentioned i didnt have those problems 8 months ago (same hardware, same dolphin) so...
Wait, one thing did change - im using Win8 now.
