Well i think i did a bad thing. I was doing some configuring in the bios getting ready to deploy one of my supermicro X11SDV-8C-TP8F motherboards and I forgot that these are 80w chips so I did not put a fan on the heatsink. It ran like this for 3-5 minutes when i started to smell something...
Has anyone been able to flash the bios on these datto boards to an asrock bios? I was able to update the ipmi using socflash but instantflash in the bios does not find any file to update to when i try to do the bios update there.

highly interested in this thread. Love pfsense, love my brocade 7250 and 6610. I know that from a performance point of view having the switch do all the inter-vlan routing is the way to go but my networking is not that strong and managing it all from pfsense is much easier, plus nice to have...
well the last thing you want is a media converter hanging off the wall in your living room just to plug in a roku. Not exactly kid friendly, animal safe, or wife approved or cost effective.
