Download CPUZ and Coretemp. Run those program while playing Dolphin and take a screenshot. Also, don't open or have any other applications/program active in the backgroud while doing this test.

I might be reaching here, but you're sure your PSU is sufficient? Often when there's little logic to be found, it's a faulty PSU - or an underpowered one. But then again.. in that case you should experience issues with PC games as well.
I do think your CPU is overclocked quite firmly
That's awesome (when absolutely stable), but could also lead to throttling issues. It doesn't show on the graphs you posted, but could still be the case. I think that's what user Tuanming is after Maybe just try running the CPU @stock speeds and see what it does!

I tried what you said and set my CPU speed to stock. Did my benchmark in Wind Waker and I got the exact same thing! So I reset my overclock and now it does appear to play better (can only speak for Wind Waker at this point will try my other games later) with only getting 1 or 2 fps drops instead of 15. However my sound still lags out when my fps drops below 30. Is there any way to fix that?
