Question / Help Small breaks while streaming

Hey guys!

I run a small WoW stream for my guild. I stream at 1080p 30 fps, and i rarely ever get any problems with it.

Today i tried streaming a bit of LoL, and even though i had above 130+ fps at all time in game, at some times it felt like i was at 30 fps, wich kind of made no sense to me.

My setup is as follows:

Intel Core I5 4460 @ 3.20 ghz 6mb
Asus Radeon HD 5770 (switching it to an MSI Radeon R9 270x on monday)
4GB Ram


my stream settings:

Can someone help me with this? It'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to screen shot but Log files are always best:

As for your bitrate vs resolution, you would be better off doing 720@30 with only 2500 bitrate, it would look better (but not as sharp). Anyway, I'll wait for your logfile but I will say an i5 doing 1080p is kind of close to maxing it anyway,

No matter what your log shows, I would:
1. disable OBS preview screen (right click on preview, click preview again, then uncheck "disable view"
2. make sure you dont have a browser running while you stream and play. If you do, use Internet Explorer as it has way better CPU usage than Chrome of firefox in my testing.

Did you try any of the things I suggested?
Code: 
Interface: TP-LINK 300Mbps Wireless N Adapter (802.11, 130 mbps)
you probably shouldn't stream over wireless is my only thought. if you have a wired connection, use it.

Other than that, everything seems to check out even though you are probably pushing that i5 to the max.
Have you watched your latency in game? could it be going up and is why it feels more sluggish?
If it is going up once you stream, you can do two things:

1. go to a wired connection.
2. use Minimize network impact
