can you restart OBS and post a new log after streaming/gaming for 5 or more minutes?

What I noticed from source games is you have to restart CS:GO after changing settings to get the full effect. Anyway, logfile looks fine. have you considered to disable triple buffering?
triple buffering u mean texture filtering mode in csgo?I did that, i'v tried evertyhing on low in any game, csgo/dota/lol.
It dont do nothing,Whenever i start stream with OBS/Xsplit it instantly takes some fps out of my game.Could that be hardware related?Its new rig and i build it myself.Maybe i fkd up something?:D

yeah i just lately turned that on to check if anything happens.Tho in dota2 i got it disabled and helps nothing.
Tho i wonder if you stream a game for example your fps stays exactly on the same level with/without stream on?

i'v tried with witcher 3, when i start stream it also cuts few fps's
Yes, that is somewhat normal. I hope you continue to monitor temps but to a point, you will sacrifice some performance. this is why streamers do not often run games maxed out.

Those temps are alright but are still close to the max temps of your CPU so keep an eye out for that.

Other than that, I have nothing more to add except that in newer games like the division, expect to have to lower your settings more due to that game using up a ton of CPU compared to older games like dota or cs:go. This is where you'd adjust either your fps or cpu preset to allow your stream and gameplay to not be affected.

well that wonders me cause my cpu in games does not use the boost to 4.2.In dota2 witcher3 cs go max 4ghz, is that wrong?

when more than 2 cores are used, boost isn't used. boost is used when only 1 or 2 cores is used
