Quick disclaimer:
I realize I called the stubby a wrench. I'm an idiot. This video is my crash course on using my camera, no practice. This is literally the first thing I'm shooting with it. I'm going to leave the rest of my rookie mistakes in on this one because I don't want to take my PC apart again. Scenes 3 4 and 5 are a bit crap. I reshot a couple of the scenes because they were even worse than what I left in. I did also find the exposure lock button eventually. I've no prior experience with audio/video of any kind. Apologies to the people that do this for a living. I realize I'm not good at this yet and may never be. Let's see how I do over time. Enjoy!
Sidenotes:
My RAM was running at 7600MT/s while I had 2 sticks but after adding two more DIMMs I had to tone it down to 6800MT/s for stability reasons. Not uncommon when adding more RAM especially when going DDR5.
The goal of my channel is simple. I'm going to show what gameplay is like on near highest end hardware to help people decide if the frame rates they are seeing are worth it. If my gameplay is decent, bonus. At 4K the GPU matters the most but I'd like constructive criticism on what can actually make the PC better. But there's a catch. I make the practically impractical PC. I won't waste an extra 500 dollars on liquid cooling a GPU that wouldn't really benefit from it or buy a version of it like the ASUS matrix 4090 that costs $3800. I liquid cooled a 3090 and installed the blocks myself. Made more sense on a 3090 but overall was only worth it for the noise level (still had some coil whine). That was my first custom loop. At the moment I prefer the Intel/Nvidia brute force route. I like having a CPU that can compete with the 7800X3D for gaming and has headroom for multicore scenarios. If the 7900X3D or 7950X3D had the Vcache on all cores I would have considered them. I'll be using unedited gaming footage to show what the PC is capable of. I generally use DLSS set to quality with 75 percent resolution and sharpening when possible with frame gen turned OFF. Everything else will be maxed out when possible except for effects that I don't like or if my framerate is below 60fps. I will target 100+ frames usually for my own benefit.

Check out my playlists if interest. Anything in an ordered series will have season and episode numbers if you'd like to watch from the start:
/ PLAYLISTS -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I recommend a headset or earbuds for any of my "with commentary" videos:
Random game 4K - with commentary
• Random PC game 4K60fps...
Starfield 4K - OneLife series with commentary
• Starfield PC 4K60fps O...
Call of Duty 4K - OneLife series with commentary
• Call of Duty PC 4K60fp...
Call of Duty 4K - camping series with commentary
• Call of Duty PC 4K60fp...
/
I recommend the "no commentary" playlists if you're using TV or phone speakers:
One of my goals is to always provide the original HDR recording but that can take at least half a month for HDR to show up.
Random game 4K - no commentary
• Random PC game 4K60fps...
Starfield 4K - OneLife series no commentary
• Starfield PC 4K60fps O...

DAYUM thats a crazy pc build

[@Pogh_Games]

Thanks! I like it very much. I've been upgrading slowly as I sell off older PCs and parts. Upgrades are getting harder to come by, 5090 probably my next.

[@lukec.5656]

Still cant believe how large graphics cards are getting. Nice build! Would be cool to see a comparison on upgrade strength.

[@Pogh_Games]

Thanks! I was originally going to put my quad rad on the side but the 4090 ROG strix was just too big. Had to move to the front and downgrade 3 of my 140mm fans. Ohwell.
