Recently I've noticed that when I stream my FPS drops significantly in game and I've been able to increase it by lowering the settings but now I've started streaming Borderlands 2 and the frames drop into the high 30's sometimes. I'm streaming using OBS but I recently upgraded to a ryzen 5 2600x So I switched my encoding to my CPU instead of my GPU. My GPU is a Gigabyte 1060 3GB Windforce OC with +175 on the core and +400 on the memory, power and temp limits maxed. It doesn't go above 61°C and the usage maxes at ~80% in task manager and ~65% in NZXT CAM. When I'm not streaming the game runs perfectly fine only dipping to ~57 frames sometimes and ~15-20% less usage. My CPU temp maxes at 68°C and ~50-60% usage. All of my power settings are set to performance and I have an EVGA 850 W supernova 80+ Gold. MY question is why would my frames be dipping so much during streaming when the usage isn't maxing out and is there a way for me to fix this?

68c at 50-60% usage makes me think your thermo throttling that temp seems way to high for only being ~half of the cpus potential

Well I'm only using the box cooler and that was the max temp, it's usually closer to 60 most of the time just sometimes it spikes up.

Thermal throttling at 70c? Shouldn't most cpus throttle at around 95 - 100c ?
