Drastic CPU Usage Increase

[MADR77]

Forgive me if this is not the right place to post (I am new to this forum). I came here seeking help because I am a bit worried about my CPU usage. Generally my CPU is around 10%-20% with just the chrome browser open, which is no issue. However I also make YouTube videos, and I recently found this desktop recording software called ManyCam, which I have found to be the best free software for recording desktop videos. As soon as I open it and begin recording though, the CPU usage skyrockets by nearly 40%, and if I am recording myself playing a game, then often times the total usage is 80%-90%. I just want to know if I should be worried about the usage being so high, and if there is some way to lower the usage of ManyCam, because it is currently destroying my computer's processor. I tried deleating some large files stored on my computer and it seems to run a bit faster but not sure if there is anything else I can do.

Recording your screen is a pretty CPU intensive task, this doesn't seem like abnormal behaviour at all.  Running the game will use even more CPU on top of the screen recorder, hence it reaching 80-90%.  If it's causing issues, try another screen recorder which may be less CPU intensive.

There is nothing to worry about, your CPU will not get "destroyed" - As long as a CPU is properly cooled, it can run at 100% all day long without issues.

Anyone know of a better screen recording software? Currently this one bumps my CPU usage up by 40%. Is there one that can do better than that?
