Howdy mates, Sweden here...
Still sucking on my beloved Maximus XI Extreme motherboard,
however as of lately I was hoping some of you gurus and downright Asus-Jedi's would spend some time here...
I got 1000/1000gb from my ISP but performence dropped something fierce last months,
the XI Extreme has 2 1000gb cards - none of performing beyond 90 - 250 up and 9 - 200 up at any of the speedtests they previously run over in glorious triumph.
I have some vague memory the PCI-E is limited on this mobo thus I tried to add crepe with prejudice,
Have a single m.2 990pro 4gb running at a mere 1900/1900 (Like a fourth of full speed) got REALLY good cooling as I hooked up a 120 fan directly towards the heatzink
GPU is a 2080 Ti msi gaming X and I am drooling for an 4090 Suprim but waiting to get clued in from you mates
So these two are the peripherals hugging them precious PCI lanes right now,
but I see a need to get a 10gb lan card since speeds been messed up for almost half a year now which brings me to you - the mindJedi's of this forum and general OC knowledge if theres ever a melting pot for experts.
Looking at following choices,
TP-Link TX401 10 Gigabit PCI Express nätverksadapter
or
ASUS XG-C100C 10G nätverksadapter PCI-E X4-kort med enkel RJ-45-port

But I need your advice mates!
Is this a good solution?
Is there a better 10gb adapter choics?
Will an extender cable mess speeds up?
Will the PCI-E lanes limit speeds?
And speaking of PCI-E lanes and speed issues, can I get better m.2 speeds or is this what I can expect in my rig?
Any and all feedback or knowledge or tips and hints would be utmost appreciated mates!
