Question / Help CPU Usage shooting up for no reason?

[OrdinaryBiscuit]

Hey Guys,
So I use OBS Studio to stream usually, but today my CPU Usage shot up to like 50% when streaming, when it is usually about 12 ish, I haven't changed any stream settings either it was causing major issues with my games though the stream did work fine. I have an i7 3770 and an r9 270 perhaps there are some recommended streaming settings for a PC like mine?

Thanks :P

The Log is attached.

Update OBS.


22:42:14.624: Output 'adv_stream': Number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 31428 (12.0%)
Set 1280x720x30fps to reduce this encoding lag.
