The problem: The first picture shows the problem: a 1Gbps connection that only reaches just over 300Mbps, with a wired connection. Having checked every piece of equipment between modem and motherboard, including running a CAT 7 cable directly between the two the problem was finally identified as a dodgy Intel chipset on the ASUS B550-F motherboard. In other words the onboard LAN was just unable to deliver the full broadband speed - and had been delivering substandard speeds for some time. The solution: pictures 2-4: a NICGIGA 2.5Gbps PCI-E card with a Realtek chipset. Why this card? Well, simply put, it has a black backplate that fits in with the motherboard's black backplates. I know, not the best reason but it also has a known chipset, a decent heatsink on the main chip, an handle over the 1Gbps bandwidth, future-proofs to a certain extent and is at good price point. (A quick note about the future-proofing: a 1 Gigabit connection can potentially deliver over 1Gbps - up to 1.3Gbps - whereas a 1Gbps card stops at 1Gbps. This card is 2.5Gbps and so will handle over 1Gbps and provides some future-proofing for when the next major speed increase comes in.) Install: was really simple: unscrew a backplate, install the card, screw in the card, close the case and plug in a CAT 7 cable bought at the same time - KINBETA high speed 10Gbps 2 metre CAT 7 flat braided cable - and switch on PC. See pictures 6-8. The result: picture 9 shows the result. As soon as the PC started the card was recognised, no driver download was needed. The download speed jumped from 321.5Mbps to 925Mbps (picture 9) solving the problem in a most elegant way. It is interesting to note that the ping was 9ms both before and after upgrading the NIC and upload also remained the same - the 52Mbps which was the expected speed and initially highlighted the problem. For those with a small form factor PC it is worth noting that a smaller backplate is provided (see picture 5) as well as a screwdriver and two screws. Overall very happy with this purchase it solved the problem at a reasonable cost and I can feel the difference the higher speed connection makes. Definitely recommend this card. ## Features - Dual Lan 10G Network Card ：Adopting Intel X540 Controller, it provides up to Dual Lan 10 Gbps of extreme speed to ensure the stability of Internet access and local data transmission, effectively preventing packet loss and making the server more stable. - Network Interfaces: Two independent Ethernet interfaces for 10GBASE-T, 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX applicationgs (IEEE 802.3an, 802.3,802.3u, and 802.3ab), supports Windows/Windows Server/Linux/Vmware/ESX. - PCIe to 10Gbe RJ45: This 10G BASE-T PCIe network adapter converts PCIe slots (X8/16) into 10G RJ-45 Ethernet ports. Note: Only for PCIe ports, not for PCI slots. - Adaptability and heat dissipation: Comes with standard brackets and slim brackets for different applications such as desktops, workstations, servers, and mini-tower computers. Excellent heat dissipation performance can quickly reduce the temperature and keep the stability of network transmission. - Customer service： Every NICGIGA 10G NIC is rigorously tested for reliability, quality, and performance. We supply a year warranty for whole products and lifetime technical support. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0D7B2WX2T | | Best Sellers Rank | 10,900 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 43 in Network Cards | | Box Contents | X540-T2 | | Brand | NICGIGA | | Brand Name | NICGIGA | | Color | black | | Colour | black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Compatible Operating System Family | Windows | | Compatible devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 905 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | Gigabit Ethernet | | Data Transfer Rate | 10 Gigabits Per Second | | Data link protocol | Gigabit Ethernet | | Data transfer rate | 10 Gigabits Per Second | | Hardware Interface | PCI Express x8 | | Hardware interface | PCI Express x8 | | Item Weight | 0.25 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | NICGIGA | | Model Number | X540-T2 | | Product Warranty | 1 year manufacturer | | UPC | 790885826078 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** NICGIGA - **Hardware interface:** PCI Express x8 - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Data link protocol:** Gigabit Ethernet - **Data transfer rate:** 1E+1 Gigabits Per Second - **Item weight:** 0.25 Kilograms - **UPC:** 790885826078 - **Manufacturer:** NICGIGA ## Images ![10Gb Dual LAN Base-T PCI-e Network Card, Intel X540 Controller, NICGIGA 10Gbps Ethernet Adapter, 2 * 10Gbe RJ45 Port ， 10G NIC Card, Support Windows/Windows Server/Linux/Vmware/ESX - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71R4h4UiocL.jpg) ![10Gb Dual LAN Base-T PCI-e Network Card, Intel X540 Controller, NICGIGA 10Gbps Ethernet Adapter, 2 * 10Gbe RJ45 Port ， 10G NIC Card, Support Windows/Windows Server/Linux/Vmware/ESX - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FgdqvzMDL.jpg) ![10Gb Dual LAN Base-T PCI-e Network Card, Intel X540 Controller, NICGIGA 10Gbps Ethernet Adapter, 2 * 10Gbe RJ45 Port ， 10G NIC Card, Support Windows/Windows Server/Linux/Vmware/ESX - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qNmGSbK2L.jpg) ![10Gb Dual LAN Base-T PCI-e Network Card, Intel X540 Controller, NICGIGA 10Gbps Ethernet Adapter, 2 * 10Gbe RJ45 Port ， 10G NIC Card, Support Windows/Windows Server/Linux/Vmware/ESX - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KhLZYaIvL.jpg) ![10Gb Dual LAN Base-T PCI-e Network Card, Intel X540 Controller, NICGIGA 10Gbps Ethernet Adapter, 2 * 10Gbe RJ45 Port ， 10G NIC Card, Support Windows/Windows Server/Linux/Vmware/ESX - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vuf1v7YSL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Set** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nic 10GBASE *by B***V on 11 July 2026* Fast secure delivery, working perfectly on my Qnap.No need any drivers,just plug and enjoy.Recommended ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product that solved Asus motherboard problem *by J***P on 1 March 2022* In case you don't want to read the full review the short version is: Good card, worth the money, fully recommended.
