You can override the values in the resolution selection dropdown manually.

Good luck actually recording at that resolution. Seems kinda wasteful to record at such a high resolution just to zoom into a webcam. Have you tried running multiple instances of OBS (you might need to use one instance of the installed version and one instance of the portable version) and just record your webcam separately at full quality? Then you can just sync up the webcam footage afterwards in the editing software and switch between video tracks.
 

Update! after many rounds of tinkering everything (except updating my bios) i have come to the conclusion:
 
-Ryzen master literally does nothing to boost performance.
-set the max temp to 90c
-set your "XMP" memory settings
-set your fan curves "agressively". 100% at 90c, 90% at 80c, etc.
 
the R9 7950x is just a thermal trainwreck. it could clock higher but commerical AIOs and Air Coolers are not gonna tame it. now as exciting as it would be to investing into custom watercooling; the amount of time, money, and headaches are not worth it for me currently. I would be better off waiting for Ryzen 9000 for the generation gains rather than chasing the dragon with my current CPU. this is my first "Top Tier" CPU i bought day one and the performance increase compared to my previous R7 2700 overclocked to 4ghz all core is vast.
 
So hopefully if anyone else wanted to look into this will help. thanks everyone for the feed back, it was very helpful!

That's expected with no tweaks, it does sound like your chip is performing as expected.

I know this probably isnt a popular option but i have the cooler master PL360 30th anniversary edition on my 7950X3D ( i know its a less power consuming cpu) and on cinebench r20 stress tests it never surpasses 82c. and in games the highest i saw was 70c on fortnite which a cpu heavy game if you play on lower settings.

If the NZXT Kraken Z Series Z73 360mm is having a hard time keeping up with it you might want to under-volt your cpu. The only other cooling option that might help you keep your temps down if the 360 aio is not working out is a custom loop, so I would try to under-volt first. 
Take a look at this video: 
 

No point, Ryzen CPUs since the 3000 series have not had any amount of headroom in them. You'll get maybe 5% more performance in Cinebench if you don't go for full stability while losing performance in games, and you'll be losing performance over just enabling PBO if you do go for full stability. If you want to do anything, mess with the curve optimizer or if your board supports ECLK support. Memory overclocking is also an option. 
 
Nothing really worthwhile. Technically something like an Arctic Liquid Freezer 2 is better, but not by enough to be worth swapping out. 

There's not much reason to overclock Zen 4 because they are pretty maxed out from the factory, undervolt instead. Or if you do want more performance, focus on tuning up your memory sticks.

You can't really use it without the console. There are ways to use it as a simple xinput controller without a display, and there are ways to stream games from a PC to the console and as a result the gamepad too, but there aren't any ways as far as I know to natively connect a PC directly to the gamepad instead of the typical webserver that connects to the Wii U consoles which connects to the gamepad. If you're intrested in streaming to the Wii U then there's this video, but I'm not 100% if there are Linux alternatives to all the software used there.
 

Try connecting more than one, see if they interfere with each other/break. If it doesn't work bluez supports multiple controllers out of the box, so plugging in a cheap bluetooth dongle and following any "<my blue tooth device> guide for bluetoothctl" and adding "select <controller>" at the appropriate point should "just work".

Okay update! I redid the pwmconfig and enabled fancontrol on boot! Everything works thank you so much!

Before enabling it on boot and dealing with sleep/wake states,
have you tried running it, just checking if it works or not?
fancontrol It shouldn't output any errors.

Then move on to systemd:
# Check the current status systemctl status fancontrol # Start it systemctl start fancontrol # Stop it systemctl stop fanctrol # Enable it (runs it at boot) systemctl enable fancontrol # Disable it (will not run on boot) systemctl disable fancontrol If you'd like to know more about systemd: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd

If you are troubleshooting something and 
systemctl status <insert service name here> 
doesn't output enough log lines for your, then you should get familiar with systemd/Journal:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd/Journal#Filtering_output
For fancontrol it would go something like this:
journalctl -u fancontrol  
After all that, move onto troubleshooting for "Fancontrol stops working after suspend–wake cycles" if it affects you.
And even then, you might just want to edit your systemd fancontrol.service file to have something like this:
[Service] Restart=on-failure RestartSec=1s

these are gonna be great thank you!

Adding a drive is as simple as editing a file. Well, you need to put the drive in and connect it too, but that's besides the point 😛 What you need is the /etc/fstab file. You need to add a line similar to this:
/dev/sda1 /path/to/storage jfs defaults 0 2 You'll need to adjust this to suit your system. What it means:
/dev/sda1 -> the designation of the storage drive from the kernel. /path/to/storage -> the full path to where the storage drive resides in the Linux tree jfs -> the file system used on the drive. Common types are ext4, jfs, xfs, btrfs and ntfs, the latter only if the drive needs to be readable by a Win-OS install on the same system. defaults -> the default mounting options (read/write permissions, etc) 0 2 -> how often the file system needs checking. A 0 means no checking, a 1 means every boot, a 2 every other boot. Depending on the size of your storage drive, this can take a long time. You can find a lot of help in the Linux Man pages, either on your system or online at https://ss64.com/bash/
 
HTH!

The reason I suggest Nobara is because it has a Steam Deck edition, to replicate that user experience but on a more traditional OS without as many of the limitations.

HoloISO is generally the wrong project to use if you want Pacman. Sure it may be possible, but why start with something that is designed and configured so differently from what you want? SteamOS by design has a read-only file system and only Flatpaks are supported.
 
Nobara is probably a better solution for a general purpose distro that is still gaming focused.

Package update relies on external sources of data, which for various reasons might be unreachable.
I had to wait 3 days for fully update a stale Suse Tumbleweed setup (more than 8 months unused) because not all packages were available.
 
Try again in a hour or two might give enough time to let the external sources be available again.

You can do this with Logi Capture... Just record using it and then add it as new video capture device in OBS. Just note that since you are capturing with 2 softwares at the same time, there might be impact for your general hardware usage.
 
Also, if you have money to pay for editor, buying XSplit license could be something to think about.

I think lowering the "Keyframe interval" could help, but not with everything.
0 is auto, might alleviate some of your issues.

250 frames would be around 10 seconds where the standard (on auto = 0) is more like 2 seconds.

Add sudo to the start of the command.
 
root is Linux's version as a Windows Administrator and by default a user account cannot be a admin (there's really bad and insecure ways to adjust that, but we're not gonna do that). As only administrators can make a system change.
 
So we as sudo to do it since sudo allows Linux and BSD users to run commands as different users, and it defaults to root unless specified differently.

sudo pacman -S linux

Try:
pacman -Q nvidia-utils to see if its installed or if an outdated version is present
 
In case of the former:
sudo pacman -S nvidia-utils to install it
 
Or, in the latter:
sudo pacman -Su nvidia-utils will update it
