How should I stream

[AYDANN6ix9ine]

So I use OBS for streaming on YT and use x264 CPU encoding. I have a 2600X overclocked to 4050mhz (4.05Ghz), 16GB of overclocked DDR4 3133 RAM, an ARCTIC FREEZER 33 ESPORTS EDITION 210W TDP Air Cooler, and an overclocked EVGA GeForce GTX 970 card. I'm really only playing Fortnite right now (sorry for Fortnite haters), which is a relatively non-intensive game (Only using like max 4 threads on 1080p). Right now, my stream settings are 720p resolution at 59.94fps, 3000 bit-rate, 160 audio bit-rate, with the encoder at very fast. My temps usually go max 60 degrees Celsius when gaming and streaming and I'm comfortable with anything under 70-73 degrees. Anyone have any recommendations or tips when it comes to my stream settings and output with this kind of system for optimal performance. For context, I stay within comfortable fps all the time even when streaming so that is not an issue. Thanks for advice.

If your upload speed can handle it, I'd up the video bitrate to 6000kbps and the audio bitrate to 320kbps if you're streaming to Twitch, or whatever your internet can afford in the video bitrate department and 320kbps audio for YouTube.

Also, I'd recommend streaming at 60fps and not 59.94fps just to make things a little simpler for 60Hz monitors.

Should I up resolution or is that too much?
