Have you updated all your drivers from the asus support page ?
You could also try updating the bios, you are on 1201 from the vid and the lastest version is 1801.

I noticed at your latest video you're using the normal Handbrake version, maybe you should try the Hardware Acceleration version.
Fyi, its not final version and there are few warnings mentioned -> Here.
There are reports that Handbrake will soon support quick sync, so when it does you'll be set.
Dave,

OpenCL support is compiled in by default, but must be enabled at runtime by an --opencl command line flag.
When enabled, the lookahead thread is mostly off-loaded to an OpenCL capable GPU device. Lowres intra cost prediction, lowres motion search (including subpel) and bidir cost predictions are all done on the GPU. MB-tree and final slice decisions are still done by the CPU. Presets which do not use a threaded lookahead will not use OpenCL at all (superfast, ultrafast).
Because of data dependencies, the GPU must use an iterative motion search which performs more total work than the CPU would do, so this is not work efficient or power efficient. But if there are spare GPU cycles to spare, it can often speed up the encode. Output quality when OpenCL lookahead is enabled is often very slightly worse in quality than the CPU quality (because of the same data dependencies).
x264 must compile its OpenCL kernels for your device before running them, and in order to avoid doing this every run it caches the compiled kernel binary in a file named x264_lookahead.clbin (--opencl-clbin FNAME to override). The cache file will be ignored if the device, driver, or OpenCL source are changed.
x264 will use the first GPU device which supports the required cl_image features required by its kernels. Most modern discrete GPUs and all AMD integrated GPUs will work. Intel integrated GPUs (up to IvyBridge) do not support those necessary features. Use --opencl-device N to specify a number of capable GPUs to skip during device detection.
Boosted the clock rate to 4.5GHz and started to get errors in Sony and other apps. Dropped back to 4.2GHz and it runs sweet. just over 60degC core temps on all cores according to Core Temp.
Same video test is now 7:12
Same test with GPU acceleration turned on in Sony, was 7:22
you need to add some extra voltage if you boost up to that clockrate, and btw that board vrm are not meant to be used for overclocking, even with heatsinks attached to other boards some peeps manage to fry the mosfets or the driver chips
based on some posts around on my current cpu, i dare to say it will be way more then 30watt incrase in power consumption if you raise enough voltage for those clocks if on stock a decent waterblock can keep that 8350 around 30 celsius, bring that up to 5ghz if the chip can be stable different batches reaches different maximum it almost doubles the core temperature so i dare to say it doubles its power consumption too. without a good way to measure via sensors the current draw i cant write facts for sure. and i think the intel cpu behaves the same power consumption wont be linear as you incrase the clocks
illustration is funny for dekstop pc and workstation in that, a logitech g15 keyboard which i highly doubt everyone will use at a workstation or server
Buy this video card and add it to your setup. And find out more about using hardware supported encoding with your editing software and Handbrake. I think you can get better results and don't care about the money, you have lots of it, so why be a tight-arse. Hook up 2 monitors to it and you have perfect video editing machine that lasts several years. The whole point was to save time so why not try to maximize the performance to get videos uploaded easier and quicker to Youtube.

I have a GTX650 card, it makes essentially no difference. Yes, I'm using two monitors, that works with the integrated graphics too.
