Ok, I spent yesterday afternoon trying to get #RAID configured on my #lenovo #ThinkPad #P70 - to no success.

I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyCC1NGe8a8&t=36s of the similar #p50 and configuring #RAID which shows the #BIOS interface but my P70's only show the "non-raid physical discs" I do not have an option for RAID volumes. Note I have upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version on lenovo's web site. Any thoughts?

I have attached 2 #screenshots of what the BIOS displays - I'm trying to configure the RAID on the two 512GB #NVMe sticks.

#NVIDIA consciously simplified the RTX 4090 power input circuitry to remove a safety feature that existed in the RTX 3090. In the 3090, two wires would get combined to one, and there were three separate power shunts. Any problem in the power delivery would lead to the card shutting down.

In the 4090, all six 12V lines combine to a single terminal, which is then power-shunted as one. Any problem in the individual wires or connector pins will not be noticed. If there is a power delivery problem, the remaining connections will take the load and melt or catch fire. RTX 4090 cards have been melting connectors regularly.

So, RTX 5090 is now available. The cards are several thousand dollars/euros. They also omit this RTX 3090 security feature that likely cost a maximum of a couple of euros/dollars to add.

Answer: yes.

People are willing to pay $2,000 for the best gaming GPU in the world.

Don't like it? A console will welcome you with open arms.

Since I recently moved here, this is my #introduction

I'm a CPU engineer by trade in the SF Bay Area.

I've loved #anime since I was a little kid like 30 years ago. My first was probably #DragonBallZ on toonami.

I'm also into #videogames (typical Japanese/Japanese-inspired ones and #ParadoxInteractive strategy).

I like #opensource and software freedom as a whole (I run #linux ).

You'll also notice #computerhardware posts, especially since I'm looking to upgrade my CPU and mobo soon!
