Fallout 4 ULTIMATE "Bomb Case" - The "explosive" conclusion

The video provides a comprehensive recap of the Fallout 4 bomb case PC build and its testing, focusing on both aesthetic updates and performance outcomes. The presenter revisits the build’s two main changes: a crude mesh overlay on the air intake holes to improve the look, and a practical cooling tweak that involved adjusting spacers between the motherboard and GPU to reduce heat buildup. He notes that the R9 Nano still runs hot, but the modification helped achieve a stable system during stress testing. In terms of performance, the setup is tested with Crisis 3 Skybox, pulling around 284 Watts from the wall, just under the 300W power supply limit, and later up to a 450W version for more headroom. Thermal readings show the Intel i7 6700K at 66°C and the AMD R9 Nano at 85°C, producing roughly 40 FPS across Tomb Raider, Crisis 3, and Far Cry 4 at 4K with aggressive presets minus some anti-aliasing. The discussion then pivots to why Fallout 4 itself wasn’t benchmarked on the Fallout machine, arguing that the game isn’t one that requires strict benchmarking, given its open-world nature and common mod usage. The video emphasizes that the core point is to demonstrate performance capability and to share insights that could inform future themed builds, while inviting viewers to suggest ideas for new challenges or collaborations. The host hints at future content and theme ideas, inviting audience participation via social channels and forum posts, and closes with sponsor promotions and a thank-you to the community for their ongoing support.
