Howdy, I am not much of a PC tech, I have read so much on OBS and adjusted my settings till my brain hurts! I was wondering if it would be at all possible if I could get some help to see what are the best settings I could possibly get with my current PC / Internet.

I've been running with 720p 30 fps with bit of 2000-2000 here is a log if that helps:

The problem I seem to be having is the latency light in the corner of OBS always seems to be flashing, I don't seem to drop any frames, but some friends said at time the stream lags out, they all have pretty decent PC and internet, I really would appreciate some help to get the best quality of settings with my PC / Internet without destroying either of the two.

PC setup:
Intel Core i7-4770k 3.50GHz Haswell
Gigabyte Z87-HD3 Intel Z87
Kingston HyperX Black 16GB
KFA2 Geforce GTX 770 EX OC

Internet:
62mb down - 2.8-3mb upload
Tests ran from speed.net and testmynet.

Is the log wrong or is this kind of post frowned upon, if so I do apologise, most posts seem to get answered pretty quickly so I was just wondering if this kind of post isn't much appreciated, any help at all would be most welcomed.

If you aren't dropping frames then don't worry about it. The color reflects the sending buffer, if it's going between green/yellow/red then it means your connection to the ingest server you've selected is unstable, but if you don't drop frames then it isn't bad enough to affect your stream.

- There's no reason to use NVENC on your system unless the game you're playing is really stressing your CPU. Go to Settings > Encoding and change the encoder to x264 if you haven't already.

- Change the Scene Buffering Time back to 700 under Settings > Advanced.

- Also in Settings > Advanced remove your custom param manually limiting the number of threads used by the encoder. You have a typo in it anyway so it's already being ignored.

Everything else seems okay. Buffering is a playback issue where a viewer can't get data from Twitch as fast as the streamer is sending it out, not a problem with the stream itself.
