Well mint is in the same family as cat nip

Kitty sees all that is, has been and yet to be.

The spider was there to distract you from the real entity behind you.

They are all low power mode so none of them.

Once their chaos batteries are full then they will be put back in the rotation for it.

And yet you wouldn’t change it at all.

It was a great many hours of running a GPU stress test that used 100% of the GPU causing the fans to go full bore.

My guess is coil whine is caused by the parts not fitting together properly meaning that the motor not having enough oomph to move the fans over the extra friction.

I have a Gigabyte 1070 from a previous build that had coil whine.

Ended up being fixed after a long stress test ran the fans at full speed for a while.

It’s likely been set up as a Windows software raid array which I believe you have to do some janky work arounds to get them recognized.

Linux is seeing it as an unformated JBOD.

Your best bet would be to use Windows to move everything off the drives then wipe & re-set it up under Linux.

Have you tried planting a tray of grass for him to eat instead?

You know the law.

Someone else will have to do those things for you.

People underestimate how great naps are.

Cats are just trying to teach us how great they are as we learn too late in life.

Looks like Grumpy Cats cousin Disappointed Cat (He’s not angry just disappointed).

It’s not a true hibernation state hence my statement “Fast boot is a bastardized version of hibernation”.

It’s a hybrid sleep/hibernate system that causes more problems than it should.

Not all hardware works with it, it causes problems with updates and some software does not play nicely with it.

I know of a number of business IT departments that disable it company wide as it is a considerable source of problems.

If you are dual booting make sure that windows fast boot is disabled.

Fast boot is a bastardized version of hibernation which can keep hardware “in use” by windows if any other OS tries to use the hardware.

One of the common issues is ethernet & wifi not working or not connecting.

The issues with Nvidia GPU’s has been blown up way to much in the last few years in my opinion.

The potential problems you “might” face are:

• Not backing up your system before updating
• Using too old or too new a kernel version (Older versions may break or cause issue with newer drivers and bleeding edge kernels may introduce issues that weren’t caught during QA) * Always have a LTS kernel installed as well as a newer supported kernel
• Using brand new hardware too soon (aka don’t expect a newly released card to work perfectly day one)
• Trying to use GPU’s in edge case uses or pushing the envelope without knowing what you are doing
• Not backing up your system
• Trying to use the wrong kind of card for your needs (A Quadro card isn’t going to work well as a RTX card)
• Not updating your system (Nvidia drivers get regular updates)

For most major distros now a days you either select the Nvidia option when installing (like Manjaro) or install the drivers afterwards (Ubuntu based) and be off to the races.

Set up and use Timeshift, make a backup before installing updates and you can roll back if there is an issue.

From what I understand about distrowatch is that their “ranking” system is based on how many people (or bots) visit a distros page.

Have you done “sudo sensors-detect”?

It’s called “OEM install”.

Ubuntu based distros should have it.

Of course it would be a Nvidia driver issue.

Thought about getting a AMD card but as I had only had one major issue with my previous 1070 (that was fixed by reloading my Timeshift snapshot then not upgrading the driver until the next version) so I thought that I would continue with Nvidia.

Eh, I can’t change it for now but at least I know what is causing it and can work around it.

Thanks for the assist.
