The heatsink has a fan but it is silent (even after 12 hours of Prime95). This board has AMT so when used with a vPro capable CPU (I'm using an i7-3770S), you get all sorts of nifty OOB features. I'm using ESXi 5.1 right now but I'm pretty sure it would boot FreeBSD fine. -- Jason Fortezzo fortezza@mechanicalism.net
