I'd be very interested if you got dual GPU passthrough working in unRAID. I can't passthrough 2 GPUs in ESXi on the S2600CP due to ESXi/board limitations
Dual gpu to a single vm or two vm's on two gpus? I was testing the latter and it worked fine. For some reason I couldn't run two ovmf bios' though. An ovmf and a seabios combination worked with a 280x video card passed through to each vm running with both vm's running at the same time. Since the 280x requires the crossfire bridge there was no point testing passthrough of both gpu's to the same vm since I can't run crossfire (newer amd cards that don't require the crossfire bridge and perform crossfire over the pcie bus can).
Awesome, yes I was wondering about two GPUs to two VMs. Thanks so much!

I have never seen a BIOS that doesn't give CPU temp but I can't find it on the Aptio Bios that came with the Natex combo. I've been looking for it a while and I even found screen shots that show a Monitor top menu that I don't have -- does anyone who bought the Natex combo know how to get CPU temps from the BIOS?
Also is anyone running the combo as it came with just the heat sinks?
Are you talking about those short little 1u passive heat sinks? I wouldn't consider using them unless you had a proper corresponding chassis, cooling fans, and airduct that would tightly mate with those heat sinks to force *all* the air through them.
The BMC webconsole's sensors page will provide temps (not CPU temps directly), however you can derive the CPU temp from the P# Therm Margin values. Note, if they drop below ~20%, that indicates that your CPU cores are very close to 80c. The stock Intel cooling setup for that board will ramp up the cooling fans so that a system will stay above the 20% P# Therm Margin.
I'm looking at my temps to make sure everything's in line, and I'm seeing P# Therm Margin being reported in negative Celsius, while P# Therm Ctrl % is 0%. Do you know what 0 degrees C is supposed to be in real terms for thermal margin? When I run stress tests, I can hear the fans ramp up, and System Board 1 Agg Therm Mgn 2 goes from negative to around +6 C and trips the alarm. All other temp margins remain normal/negative. I'm in a P4000M case with dual 750W power supplies. Is this expected behavior?
Also, when I ran the BIOS/ME/FRUSDR updates, I forgot to connect to I2C cable from the backplane to the motherboard so it wasn't detected. Do you recommend connecting the cable and rerunning the FRUSDR updater? The drive activity lights appear to be working even with it disconnected.

The problem is not encrypted channels, it's channels marked copy-once, like HBO and other movie channels for example. Kodi+ServerWMC and other programs can already tune to encrypted channels using the Prime as long as they're marked copy-free. WMC is the only program that can record copy-once content. SD is trying to get the licenses so the HDHR DVR can also record copy-once content, we'll see if they succeed
I don't subscribe to any of the premium movie channels, so I probably don't have to worry about copy-once channels. I assume you need WMC for the Kodi+ServerWMC to work, right? I'm satisfied with the WMC UI, so I haven't tried Kodi.
I'm trying to figure out how I can play and record encrypted channels with a nice EPG and UI, like WMC's, without WMC.
Yeah Charter is pretty leniant with marking. MythTV might work too. But the point is there already exist programs other than WMC that more or less replicate WMC for copy-free content. SD wants to create a true WMC replacement for all content

It's usually the simulated sine wave UPS's that cause issues. I have a Natex S2600 + Intel P4000 (with the same PSUs) and it runs fine on a CyberPower true sine wave UPS
