I know that there is already a lot of threads about this but non of them are working for me so I thought I start my own
I have a YouTube video if that helps. https://youtu.be/yz1s2AD8mng

1. Run OBS as administrator. Right click on the shortcut and select that option or go to Properties, Shortcut tab, [Advanced...], check for "Run as administrator" [OK] [Apply] [OK] for permanent solution.
2. In Windows 10 versions 1809 and newer, we recommend that "Game Mode" be enabled for maximum gaming performance. Game Mode can be enabled via the Windows 10 "Settings" app, under Gaming > Game Mode
3. At least one of your audio devices has a sample rate that doesn't match the rest. This can result in audio drift over time or sound distortion. Check your audio devices in Windows settings (both Playback and Recording) and ensure the Default Format (under Advanced) is consistent. 48000 Hz is recommended.
OBS Sample Rate: 44100 Hz
Speakers (Yeti X): 48000 Hz
Microphone (Yeti X): 48000 Hz
4. Your log contains no recording or streaming session. Results of this log analysis are limited. Please post a link to a clean log file.
To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:

1) Restart OBS as admin.
2) Start your stream/recording for about 30 seconds. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Stop your stream/recording.
4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Send that link via this troubleshooting tool or whichever support chat you are using.

Close OBS if open, enable Game Mode, then open OBS as admin, record and post new log.

Game Mode can be enabled via the Windows 10 "Settings" app, under Gaming > Game Mode.

The log you posted last night at 10:18PM shows that you were running OBS as Admin & that most of the settings were updated. It also has the lowest percentage of dropped frames due to rendering lag (1.3%) & encoding lag (4.4%) so you're getting closer as there was significant improvement from the initial log that you posted yesterday morning.

Per qhobbes, enable Game Mode.

If you're still seeing some lag after Game Mode is enabled, try recording to a different hard drive, preferably an SSD.
