Dual Pc setup with capture card, getting short intervals of frame drops randomly

I have recently put together a dual pc setup in an attempt to make streaming a breeze. These are my specs:

Gaming PC:
Rtx 3070ti
Ryzen 7 5800x
32GB 3600mhz CL16
1tb 970 evo plus, 2tb sn850x
B550 msi gaming plus

Streaming PC:
Gtx 1660
Ryzen 7 2700x
16gb 3200mhz CL16
1tb m.2 Crucial P3
X470 msi gaming plus
Elgato 4k60 pro mk.2

Before anyone says that I could just single pc stream quite easily, I know but I had these old parts from my last computer just laying around and always liked the idea of a dual pc setup, as it also has some nice to haves aside from streaming.

Anyway, my issue that I haven’t been able to solve over the last month is when I’m streaming every few minutes or so (it seems random) I get about 5-10 seconds of frames dropping to what looks like 15fps. Funny thing is there aren’t any dropped frames, or a dip in the OBS frame rate which is what I can’t get my head around.

Here is a link to an example:

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
