Don't idle an OS to check an OC. Run Prime95 torture test for ~20mins-howeverlongyouwant.

That's not a good way to tell if a chip is stable. Even if you overclock heavily with a low voltage most chips will remain stable while running only background applications because it puts almost no stress on the chip. A chip is considered stable when it is able to run demanding applications without producing incorrect results (which usually result in an application or OS crash).

Here are how slow the games are:
1080 avalanche 60,58,53 fps choppy sound
Charinko Hero (Japan) 30 fps
F-Zero GX 60,49,59,41,48,21,35 fps
Disney-Pixar Monsters, Inc. - Scream Arena 60fps choppy sound
Disney-Pixar Ratatouille 30 fps runs fine with and without overclock using latest beta dolphin
Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure
Godzilla - Destroy All Monsters Melee 41,52,60,48 fps choppy sound
Gun 28 fps extremely slow
Hunter: The Reckoning 38,41 fps
The Incredibles - Rise of the Underminer 60,57,47,60,47 fps
Mortal Kombat - Deadly Alliance 60,55,60,55 fps slowdown choppy sound
Mortal Kombat - Deception 60,45,48 fps
Rocket Power - Beach Bandits 55,60 fps
SSX Tricky 30,50,60,37,30,26,23 choppy sound
Zoids Vs. III (Japan) 32,60 fps
Legend of Zelda, The - Ocarina of Time - Master Quest 20 fps

thanks for the tip I keep that in mine when I figure everything out.

I overclock my cpu to 4.400 so I can play dolphin games at better speed. Can someone check my settings and tell me what I need to change to improve my overclock.

You should ask that on an overclocking forum, like Overclock.net. Or Overclockers.com. Or any of the other ones. While overclocking is obviously common here, a lot of big stuff about overclocking should be asked on a forum entirely devoted to it.

Also, every CPU is different. What works on one guy's 4770k might just cause BSODs on another guy's, for example. You should check in-depth guides and such for what you should change, to look for what, what that will mean, and what you might be able to do with that.

Thanks, I'll do as suggested and look at those forums.
