Before I buy an AliExpress Intel X540-T2 card I thought I'd check if anyone on here has a card they don't need. Looking for two 10G copper ports with a low profile bracket, not too fussy on controller as long as it will work with opnSense

so may just look into a single RJ45 transceiver for the port I need to be RJ45

 

 

If you can get a RJ45 transceiver that doesn't overheat your will, be away all good

 

The Broadcom runs a lot cooler than the intel and you won't have the overheating issues
