Why is my encoder overloading?

When I record Minecraft it happens every now and then that at OBS it would overload my encoder.

I have the CPU inside as an encoder, but if the encoder overloads then my CPU is just 30% full. My CPU also had 65-70C °, but that's because I only get a new cooler. Could it be the heat?

Do not understand why my encoder is overloaded, I use CPU because my GPU is not a gaming graphics card and my CPU is stronger. With the graphics card, the encoder overloads even faster.

by the way have a Ryzen5 2600x CPU

Playing and recording at the same time is never a good idea. However, this should work with the CPU. You just have to adjust your settings. What have you set for the encoder? (Bit rate, etc.)

Quality regulation method: CBR

Bit rate: 15000

Processor usage preferences: Veryfast

The bit rate of 15000 seems a bit high for gaming by the way. Here are my settings for very good results with a Ryzen 5 1500X

(Settings, output, advanced, recording)

Recording format: mkv

Encoder: H264 / AVC Encoder (AMD Advanced Media Framework)

Presets: indistinguishable quality

Quality presets: quality

The rest left on default.

This gives you a very good quality with low utilization. However, the files get quite huge

Ok thanks, I will then test the settings.
