Dolphin settings and revision? For reference which games have you played in Dolphin? Since it happens in PCSX2, however, it's not likely a Dolphin specific problem. Check your temperature during the slowdown.

For settings, click the Config button and look at the General tab, then click on the Graphics button and look at the General, Enhancements, and Hacks tabs. Provide us these settings, preferably as screenshots.

Use a program like CoreTemp to monitor your CPU temperatures. Play for a bit then see what your temp is when getting the slowdown.

So the FPS dropped when I started my livestream but this has never happened before.
For PCSX2 the temperature for cores 0-4 range from 60-70C
Same with Dolphin
I use XSplit to livestream
