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.
Better than X58 no doubt, but it's also about putting old hardware to use with zero cost rather than e-waste and I have enough tasks to give it to justify the power draw. Adding AI training is not something you can do on a mini and I currently run the z690 system 24x7 already doing that in the...
I rode my i7-950 Gigabyte X58 for 13 years, surprisingly I didn't have a real need to upgrade until the last few years and then I just wasn't thrilled with the options until Alderlake released at which point I built my current system. About that time Tomato on my Nighthawk R7000 was also aged...
No change moving the P55 system close enough for 2 10ft cables to a single switch, same 1.22Gbs performance. Sigh of relief I won't have to run another 100ft cable...
The mystery unfolds....
8125B moved to my i7-950 X58 system, which is a hyper-V/pfsense/jellyfin/sonaar/radarr/nas where my...
File copy with the 8125B did show an improvement, we're up to 180MB/s from 126MB/s with the I226-V. Here's the Iperf3:

-d switch just emits debug info which shows no packet loss or errors. The parallel switch just divides total bandwidth and remains capped at 1.22Gb/s.
The Sodola's are some cheap switches no doubt but reviews indicate they work. I did try removing the 5 port and just run both computers off the...
Which cable would that be, there are several, all brand new CAT8's now, I swapped out the CAT7, same results. You would hope even junk CAT8's can handle 2.5Gb considering CAT6 can and I've heard even 5e with short runs. These are the cables I went with.
Got the new RealTek coming thursday...
Yep it is, but it really should be able to do better that 126MB/s with 2.5Gb, should be more like >230MB/s, it would appear something is bottlenecking bandwidth. PCIe2.0x1 has 500MB/s available and even considering the overhead it should be faster than 126MB/s with a 40GB file copy with Sata2.0...
Not transferring multiple files but using Simultaneous mode on LanTest which I assumed would simulated that. Perhaps not though seeing iperf parallel mode showed the same 1.22Gb/s.
Here's Iperf, shows what I'm seeing for single file transfer bandwidth, not 2.5Gb/s, a bit over 1Gb/s.

Upgrading my home network to 2.5Gb for media file transfer to HDD's and am encountering unexpected results where single transfers seem to be limited to ~1.1Gb/s or 126MB/s while simultaneous transfers can achieve the full ~2.3Gb/s speed.
Using two PC in this scenario, one a W11Pro/MSI Z690 with...
