It can, depending on the resolution/framerate you plan to record at. Knowing the model of CPU is also more important than the clockspeed, as if you have a cut-down i7-in-name-only dual core, it's going to have problems. But if it's just an older chip like an i7-920, it could still perform well.

That said, 'no' fps drop isn't ever going to happen without a dedicated 2PC setup. There will always be SOME impact, even if it's slight to unnoticeable.

Its got 5 cores. im only gonna be recording things like CSGO, subnautica and horror games. my friend used it but he gave it to me but he never used obs. but he generally got around 150fps in csgo, on high frames and when he recorded it he dropped down to what he wanted exactly, but it always looked smooth and good file size.

There are no 5-core i7s. Even if a physical core was defective and disabled to avoid crashing, it'd be a six-core with HT. Generally all i7s (aside from the new 'mobile' ones which are junk) are going to be at least 8-core.
