    Anyone used Asus PRIME Z790-P WIFI?

    Trying to build a new PC since mine is 10 years old. Anyone has experience with Asus PRIME Z790-P WIFI? This is the only board I found that has 4*x16 slots at 16/4/4/4 besides Supermicro, but I usually only use SM for servers. Not a big fan of Asus, haven't used their boards for 7+ years.

    Strange PCI passthrough failure in ESXi 7

    Tried to passthrough another LSI 3008 but failed with error Failed to unbind devices. The device is not used at all, I have the onboard LSI 3008 passthrough without problem. Conflict between the two? The onboard has IT firmware 18 from SM, the add-on has P16 from LSI.

    HPE 621SFP28 and Marvell QLogic QL41212HLCU

    Got this card to play with, haven't installed it yet. I'll install it in my storage ESXi server so SR-IOV/NPAR will definitely help a lot. All the offloading features will help NSX-T as well. I don't have 20gb switch so it has to run at 10gb speed for now. Based on FastLinQ 41000 chipset, I...
