Does OCing CPU help streaming fps drops

[DrThots]

Does it improve my FPS and cpu usage efficiency. It use to be 95% when playing fortnite, now its lower than 90 most of the time. Is that something to oc my i5 6600k from 3.5 to 4.2

Yes definitely, if your streaming is encoding in the CPU and stressing it a bit (which yours is).

 

Just make sure that your overclock is stable because it is not fun to lose a stream because of a crash.

based off gaming bench marks from techtubers theres a minimal FPS gain to overclocking your CPU in fortnite for what ever reason it just doesnt care all that much about clock speed

if its the CPU holding you back then yah. generally your CPU does all the encoding stuff so more CPU power will help
