Monitoring software : CPU-Z, HWMonitor, RealTemp.
CPU : 7700K (stress tested with air cooler 5.0Ghz@1.328V, 76C max)
GPU : GTX 670
RAM : Patriot Viper 4 8GB x2
MoBo : ASRock Z270 Taichi
PSU : EVGA 850 G2
WITHOUT OBS running, my PC is fine. Passes benches at 5.0, plays games at 5.0, etc etc.
What I have noticed so far with OBS running and playing GTA5,
- While streaming, CPU multiplier mostly runs at 47, with occasional jumps to 50 but is knocked back down to 47 within a second or two.
- Not streaming, CPU multiplier runs at 47, but it jumps UP to 50 periodically (every 5~10 seconds) but comes back down to 47, only to jump up again and repeat.
And when running benchmarks, CPU multiplier starts 50, but it jumps DOWN to 47 periodically (every 4~7 seconds) but mostly stays at 50.
With google search I have found these three other threads but none of them helped.

Tried Vcore up to 1.38V, no luck.

I do not believe my temps are causing clock to drop since benchmarks have made my CPU hotter than gaming + streaming, and the benchmarks did not cause thermal throttling. But just to be on the safe(haha) side, I disabled thermal throttling in BIOS.
Out of curiosity I set my CPU multiplier to 48 and 49 and tried the same things, and OBS caused the multipliers to drop to 45 and 46, respectively. Therefore I came toa conclusion that the multiplier isn't dropping "to" 47, but rather dropping "-3" off of max.
Any suggestions where I should start looking? I'm thinking of a clean reinstall of Windows out of desperation.
Thanks for reading!
