  1. I've been using Linux 5.6-rc1 and Linux 5.6-rc3 and mesa-git and so far there's no problem on the (Arch) linux side of things. 5.5 didn't like me, so... I don't have freesync though, maybe that's where everything goes downhill from. (My 5700XT is an XFX Thicc III Ultra, it's louder than I expected but not deafening... I've never heard a Nitro+ or another high end GPU myself so I can't compare it)
  2. So I currently have a Focus Plus Gold 850W (Bought some time in 2018, the cables have capacitors) with a stock-cooled 3900X (might switch to an AIO water cooler or one of those noctuas people keep talking about someday) and an 5700XT (XFX Thicc III Ultra, comes with an industrial vacuum cleaner, quite an overclock, and needs two 8-pin PCIe power connectors) on an ASUS X570 TUF whatever. I only realised the shenanigans around my PSU today as I wanted to build a NAS and had to do research on what PSU to buy for it. The NAS itself is nothing impressive, but I really wouldn't like my computer to get damaged just by the PSU. However, I also wouldn't like to lose data... So, I have a few options for dealing with my PSU situation: A) Get a PSU for the NAS and keep my PC as-is B) Give my PC's PSU to the NAS and buy a new PSU for my PC C) Throw the Focus away or put it on some shelf to collect dust (There goes my 10-year warranty) and get new PSUs for both OuterVision's PSU calculator says that my NAS will be 350W if I got everything I wanted to put into it, which I don't think I ever will, and my computer's around 570W. Is my power supply too risky to keep or is it not as big of an issue as it seems to be? Would it be fine even on my PC? Oh, and by the way, how safe are SATA power splitters or Molex to SATA (yes, I know the molded ones are huge fire hazards) adapters? Should I get a PSU with all the SATA ports I want or get one of those adapters?
