I did a little digging and it looks like the problems were limited to ASRock motherboards paired with Ryzen 9000 series chips, and they claim they fixed it with a BIOS update. And yeah, if you’re not overly concerned with cable management then a semi-modular will do the job and cost less.

Built in 2019, with some upgrades here and there:

MOBO: Asus X570-E Gaming WiFi CPU: RYZEN 5800X3d GPU: Radeon 6700XT OS Drive: 2 TB WD NVME Power Supply: Corsair 1000W

Looking at your list I’d consider a couple of things:

1. do some research on the Motherboard. I have a vague recollection of ASRock having problems lately. Not sure what models or anything.

2. consider a fully modular power supply if you’re at all concerned about clutter inside your case. You might also look up the recommended PSU wattage for that GPU. I don’t know much about the Lisuan specifically, but a lot of them recommend at least 750W.

This is the Zohran the Destroyer you’ve been hearing about

lol, Spiders Georg was my first thought as soon as I saw the graph

He’s as smart as Ben Shapiro thinks he is, and as manly as Andrew Tate thinks he is.

Love the commitment to the cause

Hasn’t that been the case for a while now? The RX5700 I bought in like 2019 only worked in UEFI systems.

Training on what you’re going to carry is important, but all the training in the world can’t prepare you for the real thing. Adrenaline is going to interfere with your fine motor skills. It’s just a natural consequence.

Get something without a manual safety if you’re going to carry it. If you have to pull it, you don’t want to be dicking around with the safety when adrenaline is hampering your fine motor skills.

I’ve been wanting to take the leap, too. I’ve got Linux installed on my gaming laptop and I’ve been trying games one by one to see if they work. Next step is dual booting on my desktop and only switching to Windows when I absolutely can’t make something work. My biggest concern is that I have a bunch of games installed on various drives that are all Windows (NTFS?) formatted and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to run them on Linux. I really don’t want to have to reinstall all of them.

Firefox FTW!
