Reason why I mention this is that while streaming some people have their own broadcast playing in the twitch dashboard. If that is the case you might want to check that first.
Yeah, Chrome is not hardware-friendly when watching any kind of video or even parked on a static web page with a lot of divs. It's high-school-attention-whore levels of resource consumption. "Oh, you have 32GB of RAM? Cool! Here, let me grab about 4GB for myself, you know, Just In Case(tm)." For example, my firefox has 25 tabs open here at work and has been up since yesterday morning's driver update reboot; it's sitting at ~870MB allocated to the process. I just launched Chrome (SRWare Iron actually) and copied all 25 of my tabs over to it (20 of those are just static Redmine bug web pages) ; it's already at ~2.3GB and climbing. And we won't even talk about how Chrome spikes our GPU/CPU temps here at work on PCs (Win10 and Win7) and even worse on the Macbook Pro units. :/
