Hello everyone.

Yesterday while I was streaming CS:GO I checked out my CPU Usage (for no reason) and it was like almost %100. Mainly around %80 - %90. Is it normal to have that kind of CPU usage while streaming? Or why it is like that? Thanks
 
Can it be about cleaning the pc's case. I haven't cleaned it for a long time, and I don't have compressor to clean it for now. What else products do you know guys to clean pc?
 
Thats normal. Your i5 is a quad core with no Hyperthreading, so you will almost always see 100% usage while streaming and gaming. On a i5 such as the one you have, you should be using Quicksync encoding, not x264. This will dramatically lower your CPU usage.
 
@AndehX I've just solved the quicksync problem. I've read a thing here at OBS and the question is when I go with VBR (it says VBR better than CBR) what should I type to MaxKbps
 
You must use CBR. Twitch's rules state you must stream using CBR and not VBR. VBR is meant for local recording.
