You're considering upgrading your CPU for better performance with streaming and gaming on your current setup. With an i5-9400F and MSI Gaming X1660, you have solid hardware, but the boost clock of 4.1MHz is quite high. Running at that frequency can help with multitasking, though it does increase power consumption and heat. Boosting it further might improve responsiveness, but it could also stress the processor over time. Given your current specs, it's worth testing a modest boost (like 0.5–1MHz) to see if it makes a difference without risking long-term damage. Just monitor temperatures closely and ensure your cooling stays adequate. If you're unsure, start with a lower boost and adjust based on performance and stability.
The 1660 Super uses a Nvenc encoder to reduce CPU load during streaming. Streaming should work, though some speed might decrease.
Streaming smoothly at 60fps is easy with nvenc, achieving top performance in about 99% of games.
