Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I know you posted to disregard the thread but I'm also using a P5N SLI for virtualization (ESXi) and more than 3GB was nothing but a headache when using the onboard NIC. It would only function sporadically, it would look like its finally working then eventually it would just drop the connection and sit there picking its nose never to reconnect until a reboot. Disabled ethernet in BIOS, threw in a PCI-e gigabit NIC and haven't had any problems since.
Yeah Asus admits that there is a bug with the onboard NIC. And yeah it ended up dieing on me again so I threw in the old 100MB pci nic I had in it before.
