Question / Help Warning: High CPU Usage + Log errors when being analyzed

[Tom Prats]

I've been trying to stream either Dota 2 or Rocket League, but my stream keeps freezing (within 20 seconds). I tried downgrading all my settings, but it didn't seem to work. I've attached the logs and all the settings (not sure if included in logs). My download speed is 6.5 according to http://www.speedtest.net. Everything seems like I should be able to run at relatively high settings, but it isn't working even at low settings.

Thanks!

While I managed to stream for a little bit today, it did happen to crash after a while. Here are the logs if that helps.

give up streaming on this cpu


you would have to run something like 240p on 15fps with ultrafast preset to not have any problems and even then you probably still run into issues

That's what it crashed on haha. What can i updgrade?

so i will link you 3 builds within your 1k range

1. build you will keep gpu/hdd/os/opticaldrive

2. build you will keep gpu/os/opticaldrive (hdd if you want to build would be 50 bucks cheaper)

3. build you will keep gpu/os/opticaldrive (hdd if you want to) DDR3 version of build 2

little round up
since your current build yells budget build i assume you are also running a bad psu thats why i included one every time.

ddr4 yes/no? why not if you are upgrading anyway at some point its going to be mainstream within the next years and prices arent extremly bad.

build 1 has crazy encoding power for streaming and runs games without a problem (many people on this forum are using this cpu)
build 2 is the so called gamer high end desktop station runnin the latest i7 with ddr4 will have no problem with 720p60/1080p30 while having enough horsepower for ingame performance.
build 3 is just build 2 as a ddr3 version (i would recommend buying new sticks since yours are quite bad)


generally speaking i would suggest upgrading your gpu in near future. (https://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-02gp42966kr) or (https://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-r9380gaming2g)

if you wonder why im not including an amd build... parts been the same the last 5 years, no they are not that good that amd wouldnt care they are just not able to release actually new stuff, pretty much the reason why i stopped suggestion amd for now (if you buy new hardware you want new hardware)

Wow thanks so much. I'll dive into this more tonight. Yeah my current build was a budget build from college, and I could actually go higher than $1,000 if it makes sense to build from scratch, I was just thinking that an upgrade of just the CPU or motherboard wouldn't cost more than that. But a new build would make sense.
