I got this server motherboard which I managed to make work with aftermarket fans a while ago. Nics are working fine under linux but Windows do not detect them at all. I really need the gigabit as Im moving the workstation to the office next week. I have upgraded BMC and NIC firmware to the latest available(NICs where not being detected under windows before either.) I am running Windows 10 x64. NICs do not show up under device manager but PCI-Z finds them just fine. I am stuck right now. Let me know if you can help. Thanks.

Turns out it's most probably not a firmware issue but an OS issue. I will install arch + esxi + vware and then use windows as a VM.

You wanna put 3 OS'es on top of each other? Why use arch? Why not just put esxi on it directly? If you use arch, you will only be able to "nest" esxi and that means no 64-bit VM's.
