They all decided to arrive on the same day 
Cards came yesterday.
Time to play!!

Negative on that helping.
BTW: Drive stays cool to touch even with ever so slight air flow, no air flow and it gets warm.. just sitting there plugged in of course not doing anything...
Tomorrow it will be win2012 or win8.1 whichever I can find the disc for the fastest

Check the lane configurations permitted by your board, especially with SLI gpus in specific slots, its very likely the M2 pci-e lanes are exclusive with some of the physical slots. Dual gpus eating full x16 lanes each only leaves 8, and often that may only go to a single slot without muxes to split further, but you might be able to move the gpu to different slots so they get x8 each and pass another x8 to a different slot. (though this means you need a different bridge and can complicate the hell out of card spacing)
FWIW my X79 board supports configs like 16/16/8 and 16/8/8/8 from the cpu, I have a nvidia 980, the 750 SSD and a mellanox FDR card all chugging along in 3.0 mode lanes.
I can't boot to it since no UEFI version update available for X79 boards (yet, if ever) but otherwise it works fine in both W8.1 (out of box, updated to feb driver from intel) and 14.04.3 which is a fairly recent kernel.
Yeah, I'm not sure why it worked fine then dissapeared and stopped working.
Logs show nothing.
This was my first CentOS 7. So it could be me, not being used to the changes as I know 7.0 was a major change. I've been using CentOS for many many years and never had so many problems with other things than I did with 7.0
Another idea I had was to use ESXI with Intel NVME drivers -- but I'm not sure how that would work? I noticed Intel had ESXI 5.5 NVME drivers, but how does that work? It obviously won't be as high of performance as baremetal but would you guys like to see me try that?
I'm going to go 8.1 or 2012 here in an hour or 2 either way

Next step was to try every PCIE slot starting at #1, not just the 2 random I chose to put it in.
I put it in slot #1, boots right into ESXI fine. No problems.
What the hell?
Something to do with the PCIE lanes?
or
Random, since it worked once before

Try esxi 6. It has Intel nvme driver out of the box. It works with pcie based p3500 without any issues
And the problem is solved.
With these cards apparently if you don't have the duplicator thingy mabobber on your motherboard you must use the BOTTOM plug.
And, only certain PCIE slots
I thought, hmm let me move cable to lower and bam reboot eSXI there it is storage adapters DC P3700 SFF

you have only one CPU populated?And the problem is solved.

if both CPU is populated then all PCI-E slot should work.
Anyway, where is the 2000 MB/s paper numbers? And 400,000 IOPS?
From the P3500, I got 500 MB/s read and 800 MB/s write. Better than SATA based SSD but as as good as promised.
Same test, I got double the performance numbers on 5 years old FusionIO.
