I've been having a bit of encoding issues as of late and want to see if there's anything on the OBS side that's responsible. I see the issue when streaming games primarily but there are moments when I haven't booted that I'll still get the overload. It's my first time posting here so if more information is needed other than the attached log, let me know!

Issues a plenty, OBS is not one of them. I could make a list of stuff but it would be too long.
It doesn't appear that there was an encoding session in that log so limited info provided.
Check & verify all of your plugins are updated for the version of OBS in play. SE failed the test.
20:43:50.829: obs-streamelements: ShowStatusBarMessage: Software update available.
Something is running on your system causing a conflict with OBS. Adobe CC comes to mind.....
01:59:03.696: Blocked loading of '\coresync_x64.dll' 12 times.
Your Scene Collection is massive, it could be causing issues. While you're troubleshooting, create a New Scene Collection & add just (1) Source, see if things improve.

(3) of your monitors are running 10-bit color, they should be 8-bit like the 4th monitor. The on the fly color conversion is wasting resources.
The Color Depth adjustment can be found in the AMD Control Panel.

Took me some time but I finally found the encoding session hidden in all those errors. It's not horrible. There's some Rendering Lag/GPU overload. Doing the above should help but may not eliminate it all.
Load reduction:
Run only (1) monitor @ high refresh rates
Media Sources, there's a ton of them & I counted at least (15) using hardware acceleration. Only (2) maybe (3) of them in your main scene should be using it, disable it for all others & save the VRAM for something else as your system has plenty of free RAM available.
