With the settins I have right now, the preview and the whole program all together is really laggy when I try to edit something that came out of OBS. All I need is a 60 fps 1080p video. Thanks
If you mean Screen Recording with OBS, my current best settings for ease of capture and editing are these:
Ok thanks I will try those

Always record to MKV though, there's an auto remux to mp4 setting in advanced section. MP4 will corrupt for all manner of reasons when live recording, hdd is full, OBS crashes, Windows crashes, etc. MKV is more bullet proof. In this example I force close OBS

You have something other than a container problem, and it may be unique to your installation. MKV container will work with x264, but it is not native.
The x264 / MP4 settings I shared are generally considered bulletproof, and conservative. In dozens of pre-recorded piano pieces for my students over the past year, I haven't had any surprises, not one.
However, @Former user, if you will share the exact settings that consistently cause your system to crash, I will try to duplicate them on mine and report back. Thanks for sharing.

For me not stability problems, I've had freak events when installing software and it automatically restarts computer, software that will shutdown computer or put it sleep on completion of a task power outages, USB HDD's getting unplugged, HDD filling up might prevent an mp4 from closing corrupting the file, I know that did appear to happen, but then I tested with an almost full drive OBS did not corrupt the mp4
MKV guards against the unexpected and user error, it's like extra insurance , and there is a setting to auto rewrap to mp4 at completion of recording.
