Question / Help High FPS in game, low FPS in obs + low CPU usage

This does not happen in all games, but occasionally I will see that the obs fps indicator says I'm dropping to about 42 fps with only 6% cpu usage. My ingame fps is fine though, well above 100 at the time.

Is there a way to demand more cpu, to avoid these framerate drops on the stream?

I have zero dropped frames.
 
Same issue happening with me. It's as if OBS refuses to use the resources I want to give it. 15-20% at most CPU utilization is outputting 25fps to file. I've got an 8700K at 4.8ghz here, and outputting x264 should be flawless at slow encoder settings... I can't seem to hold 40fps steady with that on faster. Something is wrong.
