OK, so bare with me.
As far as I know, the Dolphin emulator software only uses dual-core to emulate.
What if I disabled 6 of the cores in my 8-core processor (thus cooling down A LOT) and then apply a ridiculous overclock like 6.3 GHz (Around that range)
In theory Dolphin should run SUPER good on games like Metroid Prime, Resident evil 4, e.t.c.
There may even be a speed up in other dual-core software such as the Source Engine (TF2, HL2, Portal, e.t.c.)
What do you guys think? Do I sound completely stupid? Once I get my new liquid cooler from Coolermaster I can conduct the experiment
