I'm using the lastest build:3798
and I have a strange problem
in 3760 build I got more FPS with runing the game on 60 Hz
but in 3798 I get about 10-15 less FPS in 60 Hz then in 50 Hz!
how to fix it?

Dolphin is very moody.
Mainly due to compatibility issues.

stupid question: u do have dual core enabled in dolphins settings and other audio off in the dsp hle plugin settings correct? the only other thing i can think of is maybe u have a lot going on in the background that is hogging cpu and memory. also wii games are running slower than gamecube games if i am not mistaken.

DragonSlayer im running the same CPU as yourself OC'd and all my games run well. My FPS on most games dont drop below 30. As everyone else has suggested i would be looking into othe processes you have running ang making sure dual core is enabled in dolphin. I can get a 5 FPS boost just by disabling Nortons auto protect. Running processes load is what i would be checking , because i know even @ stock speed this CPU will perform better then your current results.

post a screenshot of your task manager. press cntrl+alt+delete open task manager. Press the print screen key open mspaint select paste.
speaking from general experience. 40+processes on xp or 50+ on vista slow me down a ton. I reduce my processes when I game your cpu usage should be at 0% when your idle.

I found there were only 2 settings I needed to change from standard to get good frame rate ie 60fps
- Enable Dual Core
- Turn off Native Resolution and set to 800x600
That's it - I think a lot of people with newer pc's have their desktop set to like 1600x1050 (which I cant even read!)
That 4 times as many pixels as 800x600
