So my CPU is maxing out while streaming, I have all other apps off and i know how to set things up very well. But i wanted to see if there is anything else i can do to stop maxing out my CPU.

•Case (NZXT Phantom 410 Gaming Case - White)
•Processor (Intel® Core™ i7-3770K) @ 4x4.2 hz OC
•Motherboard (ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155)
•Memory (16 GB [4 GB X4] DDR3-1600 9-9-9-27 Kingston HyperX)
•Video Card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 - 2GB - EVGA FTW - Core: 1084MHz - Single Card)
•Power Supply (850 Watt Thermaltake)
•Processor Cooling (Liquid CPU Cooling System 94CFM - ARC Dual Silent High Performance Fans (Push-Pull Airflow)
•Primary Hard Drive (240 GB Intel 520 SSD - Single Drive)550mb write 525mb read speed)
•Secondary Drive (Seagate 500gb 7200 rpm with Intel smart response)
•Operating System (Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium)

Xsplit settings, 2750-3500 encoding(pending my internet), x264 = fast(yes i can lower this but it drops the quality really bad), resolution 1920x1080

And OBS sucks, and its not better than Xsplit.

My goal is to stream at 1080p with out maxing out the CPU.

Game running, World of Warcraft.
 
If Xsplit doesnt use HT which im not sure on then its not hard to max out a quad core and if it does as redeemer said streaming is quite demanding and with demanding streaming resolution like 1080p and stuff makes sense, u could oc farther or lower ur settings
