g3ROG - PC Build Dossier

This repo is the public build journal and hardware dossier for the g3ROG machines: current flagship, retired snapshots, rebuild notes, benchmark artifacts, BIOS notes, galleries, and share-safe spec sheets.

The current flagship is G3ROG-DARK, a May 2026 Dark Hero / RTX 5090 build. The earlier g3ROG-actual snapshot is preserved as the pre-rebuild record before drives, RAM, and GPU moved into the new machine.

Snapshot Notice

This repo is a published system snapshot and build journal, not a live telemetry feed.

• Current flagship snapshot: G3ROG-DARK, captured 2026-05-08 from AIDA64-backed reports and build notes.
• Historical snapshot: g3ROG-actual, refreshed 2026-04-16 before the rebuild path began.
• Future expansion: the rebuilt hand-me-down machine can live beside these as its own machine page once its final call sign and parts list settle.

Keep public pages share-safe. Raw reports, serial numbers, MAC addresses, UUIDs, local IPs, private domains, and other private identifiers should stay out of published docs.

Repository Layout

• docs/: public documentation hub, latest entrypoint, G3ROG-DARK spec, BIOS notes, validation plan, machine pages, and archived reports
• docs/machines/: per-machine pages, specs, exports, and snapshots
• assets/: banners, gallery images, social preview assets, and visual proof
• benchmarks/: benchmark exports and summaries
• bios/: BIOS tuning notes and profile references
• logs/: sanitized diagnostic or monitoring logs
• scripts/: repo setup, audit, release, export, and validation helpers

Update Flow

1. Decide whether the update belongs to the active machine, a historical machine, or a new machine page.
2. Collect fresh local inventory with pwsh ./scripts/collect_system_audit.ps1 when a live audit is needed.
3. Publish share-safe summaries in docs/machines/<machine>/.
4. Keep detailed exports near the machine they describe, preferably under exports/ or snapshots/YYYY-MM-DD/.
5. Run pwsh ./scripts/validate_repo.ps1 before pushing or tagging.

Final Takeaway

g3ROG is now a living build record, not just a single PC snapshot. G3ROG-DARK gets the spotlight, g3ROG-actual keeps its receipts, and the next rebuild has a clean place to land.
