    FWIW, I'm in a similar situation right now. I was able to massively decrease noise (and air flow) by switching to Noctua NF- A4x10 FLX fans. As long as my workloads aren't sustaine…

    Does anyone know if the performance regressions between 5.7 and 8.0 have been fixed? I no longer use MySQL regularly so I haven't been following this. If I recall correctly, this w…
